I am also not very fond of music in my audiobooks, although it wasn't as bad in this one as some others. I did NOT like the voice of the Squijum though, and am very grateful that it didn't appear much. I also especially liked the voice of the dragon. audiobook (Unabridged) The Unicorn Chronicles, Book 1 The Unicorn Chronicles. Coville weaves traditional unicorn myths into his.

HIGHLIGHTS / CAUTIONS: -The home & library of the Keeper of the Chronicles - Just like Cara, I want to live there. There is an ending to this quest, but the overall plots regarding Cara's family and the danger to the unicorns remains open. It moves along at a good pace with a mix of action and talk. The book is very short, but doesn't feel under developed. We then meet the main individuals who will be going on our quest. PLOT: The book starts right in with a couple of action scenes that do a good job of setting up the mystery & danger Cara will be dealing with. The history of the unicorns & hunters is quite interesting. My niece said it was 'quite gripping.' Girls who like unicorns will probably love it. It seems to be aimed at younger tweens/children. There are good descriptions of the colors, sights, sounds, and smells of the world. This first book (Into the Land of the Unicorns) is very short and not that interesting to an adult, although I am clearly not the target audience. WORLDBUILDING: The world seems to be a standard fantasy setting (forests & caves, unicorns, dwarves called Delvers, dragons, etc), but also includes a couple of unique creature people who aren't fully explained in this volume. We don't learn a lot about anybody besides her, but my favorite side character so far is Thomas (the Tinker and philsopher). Note: She always wanted to live in a library, which is an excellent life goal. First performed at the Theatre-Royal in the Hay-Market, on Tuesday, August 11th, 1789.

CHARACTERS: Cara: In such a short book, we don't get a lot of character development for her but it was enough. This book is definitely more on the plot driven side, rather than my preferred character driven tales yet the glimpses we get into what is going on with the characters is intriguing. SUMMARY: Many of the elements of this story are straight out of the fantasy playbook, but Bruce Coville's style of writing almost always manages to suck me in and keep my attention.
