Acorna is the miraculous unicorn girl with a healing horn searching for her origins, and this means finding her home planet, however, she is frustrated that her friends keep holding her back in the interests of protecting her, but she’s grown up now and it’s time for her to go out on her own. She and Calum (one of the three miners who discovered and raised her) escape, and do what they can to make sure the others don’t follow them.

Much of the story is about endearing trivial happenings surrounding Acorna and her friends, but there is also a coup on a spaceship and events surrounding Dr Hoa and his weather modification technology and how it affects the agricultural planet of Rushima.

Also, the evil Khlevii aliens are on the hunt, and they’re coming closer to human habitable systems, and as a result Acorna may learn about her origins sooner than later and in a way she didn’t expect.

The more I read the more I understood the characters and their dynamics, and the humour came from unexpected sources, making me laugh and like the characters more. I haven’t yet read the first book Acorna but may well do so. Acorna’s Quest was thoroughly entertaining, and reminds me of Futurama.
