I really enjoyed this one. I just wish it had been a little longer. I'm going to unpack my feelings as one long ramble so don't mind me. The biggest takeaway is that I really recommend picking this one up.

Let me start by saying what I didn't like: the length. I thought this one was too short for everything that I thought should have been in here/expanded upon. I liked that there was a "Beast Guide" (IDK WHAT ELSE TO CALL IT) as an appendix at the end, but I would have liked more interaction with the animals during the course of the story. We really only saw a couple creatures and I wanted MOAR OF THIS. I think it would have been interesting to see them in their natural habitat and just in general and CREATURES. Also, at the end, everything worked itself out fairly quickly and easily. I think a little bit more time was needed for me to feel satisfied, especially with
Spoilerreleasing the unicorns. I thought that was wayyyy too easy. I mean, I understand there was HIGH STAKES because there could have been emotional disaster if something had gone wrong, but it just was like WHACK, done.


Otherwise, everything else was GREAT. I have no other complaints. I liked the plot, the characters, the development, literally everything. This is what a novel should be. AND there is ladylove! LADY LOVE. Nothing could be better imo. Like main things in this novel: diversity, unicorns, lady love. That = excellent novel to me.

PICK THIS ONE UP. BUY IT. NOW. Also, Books and Ladders will have a Guest Post on April 17th that is SUPER COOL AND AWESOME, so watch for that.
