What a fantastic read! Although I am wondering where this is going to go, since the book is the first in a series. The story does end sooner than I wanted to, but that’s because Litton has drawn me into the world her characters inhabit well, given the short length of the story. Unicorns as humans is an intriguing idea and makes me want to read further in the series.

I'm not sure exactly how long it took me to read this, only that it was well under an hour. The concept was really interesting and I enjoyed what was there, but I feel like the story could use a lot more development. I'd like to see what happens if this were a full-length book. I don't feel like the conflict was adequately resolved and I'd want to see more so it can come to a resolution. I would recommend this book, I just think the story needs to continue.

bigotry comes in a variety of shapes, sizes and species, in this world.

love does not know those boundaries - and stubborn youth really takes offense at them.

read on to be drawn in to an enticing world of characters.

it ends too soon - so we wait for the next adventure!

A unique take on the age-old theme of loving someone different than you and your family's and community's reactions. I'd love to see this world expanded.

Enjoyed the world building and the new take on a classic fairy tale creature.
