The Way Home: Two Novellas from the World of The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
3.0
Oh how it breaks my heart to give this three stars after The Last Unicorn.
The first story, “Sooz,” is a solid four stars—it’s beautifully written, just like The Last Unicorn, and brings us both a satisfying (if sad) look at where the characters we fell in love with were now.
The second, “The Way Home,” is, in contrast, so meandering and charmless after the first few chapters that I wanted to DNF it several times—even up to the point where there was less than half an hour left. The ending was disappointing and horrible, and I sincerely hope I forget all about it.
