Well. Once again, Bruce Coville has managed to change my life. Dark Whispers is a fantastic tale, which is so refreshing for telling an adventurous story about the most "perfect" beings, unicorns, and making that story deep and dark and bloody. I devoured this book, in which Cara is sent to find a secret torn from the pages of the Unicorn Chronicles that might save Luster, now that their arch-enemy Beloved has an amulet that will help her open a gate from Earth, in which her father Ian, a former unicorn hunter, allies himself with strange characters with even stranger powers to free his wife from the Rainbow Prison, in which the delvers are more than what they seem, and in which the Dimblethum will listen to the nagging voice in his ear, betraying everything he holds dear.
Not exactly writing a kid's series anymore, are you Coville? That urgency I felt as a child is back in all its fury, and there will be a review of the series conclusion, The Last Hunt, on this blog in short order.
