A story about a girl, with a neglectful mother, that puts together the bones of a unicorn that comes to life seemed to have potential, but then it turned into a story I didn't expect or cared for. It's still a quick read with some funny moments so it was enjoyable overall. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Tanaquil is resourceful and plucky, with a dryly humorous point of view, and despite falling into danger at times doesn't always have to rely on others to get her out of it. In the course of the story, she matures as she learns more about her relationship with her mother and also with other family members she had never met before. Her skill with mechanisms is integral to the plot and she learns the true secret behind it. And the unicorn of the title is a dangerous, fearsome creature rather than the fluffy and twee portrayal often given to unicorns in other works. Light relief is provided by the peeve, who also becomes a loyal friend. The story has a satisfying ending, which leaves open the possibility of more adventures - and I've just seen on Goodreads that there is at least one sequel. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed it and am awarding a 5 star rating. ( )
