A compelling plot, vivid characters and girls who love girls make for a fantastic story. Unicorn Tracks features strong, intelligent, resourceful women and I loved it. The African backdrop was peppered with mythological
The characters were sweet, the setting was beautiful and the animals only added to the flair.
I love how casually the fantasy elements were merged into the scenes. Like how normal it was to spot a mermaid, or a unicorn!
The adventure itself was well
I wish the story had gone on longer, because I'd have loved to read more of Mnemba and Kara.
All in all, Unicorn Tracks was colorful, beautiful and a super sweet read!
