I wasn't sure if I was going to like this after I read the depiction of the unicorns to be blood thirsty rather than the cute, fluffy, rainbow riders we are all used to. It was then I realized this was definitely not the middle grade book aimed to the feminine at heart. Nonetheless, lots of adventure, lots of close calls, lots of mystery. I actually quite enjoyed it even though it wasn't what I was thinking!
