abbielester 's review for:

Skandar and the Unicorn Thief by A.F. Steadman

5.0

---

The series opener from A.F. Steadman is a wild ride and a wonderful reimagining of unicorns. Instead of ethereal beings of light, they are bloodthirsty carnivores who are difficult to control. The Eyrie is the perfect magical school for unicorn riders with lots of fun and whimsical details. (However, I want just one of these magic school books to at least mention the study of language and math. or do you magically have a mastery of the regular subjects when you get magical powers?) This is a well-plotted series opener with plenty of twists and false suspicions along the way. Harry Potter fans will eat this up! Highly recommended!
