Dark Moon by Meredith Ann Pierce

3.0

---

While I quite like Pierce's interesting take on a unicorn society (with humans cast here at the villains, enslaving horses, or daya to their will), I didn't find Dark Moon as exciting as Birth of the Firebringer. I often get lost in books that make up names for human objects we already know (ie. boats, coins, etc.) and I got a bit annoyed that Jan seemed to have lost his wits as well as his name, spending much of the story oblivious to things are are perfectly obvious to the reader.

Still, Pierce has a beautiful writing style and I will continue on to the third one with interest.
