There is a disturbing thread of misogyny throughout; Elayne, Princess Amaryllis [...] and even female unicorn Heartsease all spend most of their time imprisoned and answering to the men (there are no other women), and [...] she's mostly figurehead and aid. Don’t bother.

The Hunt of the Unicorn is a wild ride with surprising incidents thrown in to keep the reader on her (or his, I suppose) toes.

The beginning was a bit heavy on the info-dumping.

The first part of the book was great; I couldn't put it down. Then something happened and it lost that edge and fell into a lull.

The plotting drew me along – whether you like unicorns or danger, it won’t matter.

This fantasy has it all. A great division of the two different worlds. Mythical creatures. [...] A heroine who just doesn’t know what she’s capable of.

This is a Young Adult Fantasy that moves along at a fast pace. The characters are well developed and likeable.

The characters were very blah and followed their stereotypical roles. The writing was uninspiring and at times very awkward.
