The last unicorn is such a simple but sweet story of courage and love. The characters love each other in the truest sense, not for any role they play, not for any expectation on who they should be, but for the joy or comfort their presence brings. They support and encourage one another, even when it hurts themselves. 
I loved the prince's character, he's so devoted to his cause as to be a martyr to what is right. He holds compassion for everyone. 
The courage and strength of the unicorn to keep going despite every single adversity is very moving. She is not immune to wavering, she wavers constantly, but she has such a persistent faith. 
Thr exploration of emotion and morality in this book is very interesting and done incredibly poetically that it inspires you to look beneath the surface. I really enjoyed that, it made it more fantastical.

I liked this book well enough, but I think it might have been a bit overhyped for me.
