Beautiful prose, very unique in parts and deeply boring in others. I have very mixed feelings about this book. I was in love with a few sections, largely in the very beginning, but had a very hard time finishing it and felt rather irritated by the end.
Honestly disappointed since I came into this with quite high hopes, but I guess that’s on me. I was wanting a book about a unicorn, and it felt more like a book about people who knew a unicorn.

I picked this book up because it was recommended by one of my favorite authors, Patrick Rothfuss.
The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle is a story about (as the title suggests) the last known unicorn who embarks on a quest to find the other unicorns who have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Along the way, she picks up some unlikely friends, and their journey becomes sidetracked as people get kidnapped, disguises are needed, etc. In some ways, this feels like a children's story. It has all of the timeless storybook elements and the writing creates a sort of nostalgia even though I did not read this as a child. It is a low-stakes and solid story, and I'd recommend picking it up if you liked books like The Chronicles of Narnia growing up.
