A lovely tale that I wish I had found when unicorns still ran in my dreams, and at night, as I fell asleep, a different form of body I pretended I might be.

This Trilogy is just awesome. Yes it's about talking unicorns but it is really really good. The characters are all very different and create this harmony that is so unique and great. It fallows a young male unicorn, Jan, through his adventures of becoming an adult to falling in love to being a captive of man and speaking with dragons about a shared enemy of wyrens. It has many surprises that keep you guessing what is Jan going to do next. This series is well worth reading and maybe more then once.

Solid worldbuilding, limited 'human' interaction (there are humanoids, but not expressly humans), Unicorns, Dragons and other mythological beings. I've rediscovered this book after many, many years and fell in love with it all over again.

'Diversity' was marked as complicated because most of the cast were not humanoid, yet several different creatures, clans, and cultures were shown and explored.

And while yes, it's unicorns, don't let that put you off. It's fantasy, good and solid fantasy.
