There is one unicorn left. Pondering what has become of her kind, the immortal creature leaves the sanctuary of her forest home to find the answer. Along the way, she gains unexpected companions and a fearsome task: to confront a formidable creature devoted to her kinds' extinction. Regardless of outcome, the unicorn enchants all in various ways, but perhaps one said it best: "I never looked at you without seeing the sweetness of the way the world goes together, or without sorrow for its spoiling."
Enchanting, haunting, thought-provoking, powerful. Considered one of the top fantasy books of all-time, I see why. A poignant portrait of both beauty and brokenness. There are echoes of the gospel here: the vanity of Ecclesiastes, the well that doesn't satisfy, the beauty of Christ. Highly recommended.
