'Belle reflected on how odd it was that telling the tale of the Whisperer and the delvers had caused her to feel some sympathy for the delvers.what strange power did telling a story have, that it could open her heart like this?' Need I say more really. Coville hits the nail perfectly on the head with this comment. The entering into a story, the walking in the footsteps of another through use of your imagination, can transform your sensitivities to another's plight.This book is the fourth, theFinished this fourth book in the series as an adult... only got through the first one as a kid. I was satisfied with the ending and actually surprised at the complexity that this series entailed. Spoiler alert comments below:My one complaint is I don't think Beloved would be so stupid to leave Martha unattended in her castle. I didn't see coming the twist with Elihu and the Dimblethum, and I really enjoyed the idea of Fallon taking back some of his own darkness at the end, even though he is a
(Disclaimer: Bruce has edited not only some of my short stories, but also some of my unicorn short stories. So I'm not an unbiased reader here.)If my inner 10-year-old has a strong thread of horse girl in her, she has an even stronger thread of unicorn girl.

Cara remained basically the same age, lending an air of timelessness to this tale. It brought me back to my childhood, but the world of Luster expanded so much I felt like this series grew up with me. It
It's honestly a strange experience to finally finish a series I remember starting when I was a kid - the force of nostalgia is strong! I enjoyed reaching a conclusion, although I thought some of the story threads weren't entirely necessary - but overall I had a good experience and am definitely glad that I discovered that this series had finally been completed.
Like the previous book - there is a lot going on here. The last hunt to destroy the unicorns has begun with Cara right in the middle of it. This time she's going to see another dragon, Graumag. The hunters bent on destroying the unicorns are destroying Luster in the process, tremors shake the land. The world is dying and only one being can heal it, but he is no where to be found. Cara is reunited with the group she lost and even rejoins her father her mother. In the end it takes all the
