Not your everyday unicorns. This story is about some serious horsemanship, just with more magic!  Good debate about what Skandar's personal responsiblities should be - to his friends/family, his personal goals, or the truth. See you in the Eyrie!

Minor: Abandonment, Excrement, and Genocide

Almost all the wielders of the

element of spirit

were all killed when the

element of spirit

was made illegal, although this isn't a "genocide" in the conventional sense, since they're simply people who have a natural affinity for a rare and exclusive kind of magic, and otherwise have nothing in common. As this was "off-screen", not elaborated upon, and not mentioned much, I'm counting it as minor.

A strong start for a new author. Leans a bit too heavily on familiar tropes to close the story arc, but there are bloodthirsty unicorns, so I'll forgive it.
