Thoughts: This book was stunning. I loved how Kamilla Benko combined beautiful scenery, fun, interesting characters, and exciting action all into one book. I loved, loved, loved all the amazing, creative powers in this book. For example, controling plants and controlling metal. I also loved Claire - the main character - and Sophie's - her sister - conection. That no matter what happened to them or what each other did, they still stay best friends and sisters. Another thing that I admired about Unicorn Quest was Thorn. I loved Thorn because he was the most interesting character in the book: you never know what he's going to do or what his motives are. Overall, I loved this stunning, beautiful, fun, interesting, creative, amazing book.
