Skandar and the Unicorn Thief by A.F. Steadman

3.0

I really enjoyed this book. It was a nice light easy read with lots of my favourite things. Magic, unicorns and cute little heroes. Harry Potter-esque vibes, what more could I ask for? The identification of the Weaver wasn’t exactly a huge surprise but I’m hoping that with the second book in the series now announced, the author will delve further into that. I loved Bobby and Mitchell’s characters, but felt like I’d like to see and hear more from Flo and see her character develop in the next book. The way the author describes the island, the accommodation, and the scenery, makes it very easy to picture it and imagine yourself there as the story unfolds. It’s definitely not a five star book and if I could give it 3.5 I would, the only reason it’s not a 4 star book I think, is because I wasn’t so gripped that I was desperate to read it. Took me awhile to get through it for the simple fact that I wasn’t so hooked that I couldn’t put it down.
