The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle
5.0
This book is an ode to old stories, to fantasy tropes and staples (The Lord of the Rings and Robin Hood, for example), and to human nature. It is not perfect, but I like my stories to be like that - it makes them more real, in a way.
This is a story about a unicorn, she who may be the last one in the world! She sets to find out if that is really the case, and the quest begins... On the way, she meets her colorful companions, whom I adore to bits. It is a real feat to achieve this level of characterization in under 300 pages! I stand in awe.
What I really like here is the fact that the danger is real, the stakes are high, and you really don't know how it's going to end.
Beautiful book.
