Book Reviews for the Blue Unicorn's Journey To Osm by Jennifer R

5.0 out of 5 starsA fantastic journey of finding himself!

By Jennifer Radmall 

Format: Kindle Edition

In the Tribe of Metal Horned Unicorns there is a prophecy that tells of a unicorn who will save them from the evil sorceress Magh who uses their horns and hooves for spells, but when he is finally born the Blue Unicorn has no metal in his horn. Without a metal horn the Blue Unicorn has no magic, but he still must find a way to save his people or they will all be doomed.Along the his way on the perilous journey he has the help of many friends, like Gaiso the Stag and Girasol the Firebird. With the help of both forest friends and magical friends alike, Blue Unicorn must battle his way through the magical land of MarBryn to get his tribe back to Unimaise or face extinction.

The cover art caught my eye as soon as I saw it and I was delighted to find that the same vibrant and detailed illustrations are found throughout the entire book. A map in the beginning of the book make it easy for readers to follow both the Blue Unicorn's journey and the separate trek of his Tribe as they make their way to Muzika Woods. Each section has a small black and white illustration and is only two pages of text, making it easy to pick up and put down. Following each section is a full-color 2 page spread version of the black and white picture on the text page. The formatting in the e-book great, but is best enjoyed on a color tablet or computer screen to get the full color illustrations.

Seeing each of the unicorns special abilities corresponding to each unicorns unique metal horn is creative. Although Blue is without magic, he certainly isn't helpless and his ability to stay positive throughout the book definitely helps him on the way. The writing style is appropriate for the age category. The story moves at a steady pace and kept me hooked from beginning to end. Readers should be warned of the inclusion of death near that end, which may be too dark for younger readers.This coming-of-age story is sure to delight fantasy and unicorn enthusiasts.

Book Reviews for the Blue Unicorn's Journey To Osm by Sage

5.0 out of 5 starsA Wonderful Story for Young Readers

By sagesurge 

Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase

This book is aimed at younger readers and has many underlying life lessons in its story. It follows a unicorn named Blue, who is the prophesized savior to save the tribe of MarBryn from the evil sorcerer Magh.Though the writing is easy to follow and as I read the story I could imagine myself reading it out loud to a child.There are parallels to real life in the story and the book will likely teach young readers the value in believing in themselves despite the pressure that is put on their shoulders. The illustrations are well put together and will help young readers visualize the story. I do wish that some of them appeared larger on the screen in a higher resolution, but they served their purpose regardless.Not everyone appreciates how complicated it can be to write a children’s book. You have to use language that easily flows, while also being conscious of word choices that will help build upon a child’s vocabulary. It takes real talent, and I believe that the author has paid close attention to the writing of this book as well as the visuals.

Unicorns!

What an amazing read! “The Blue Unicorn” was colorful, adventurous, riveting and just plain amazing. I love love love the illustrations. I mean, a picture book for adults! It’s refreshing, engaging.Durant’s writing is beyond imaginative, enrapturing and inspiring. I would pay hard cash to spend five minutes in her head. The characters are thoroughly fleshed out, the pacing is without flaws, and the action scenes are precise and well-written.Also, be prepared for violence and death. This is not about unicorns farting skittles or drawing rainbow hearts. The situations are real, the peril, the losses, the journey…If you are looking for a refreshing, unique read with lots of action, feels, and a real plot, then grab this one! You won’t regret it.

Format: Audible Audiobook|Verified Purchase

I was hooked immediately with this book, I even began to read it aloud to my family. It’s totally different from anything I’ve ever read before and I loved it! The added pictures helped to enhance my reading experience, as well as, keep my younger children entertained.I loved the ideas that are taught in this book and I love the way the unicorn’s have human traits. They have fitness rooms, hair salons, and can even be allergic to things, but it all adds to the magical factor in the story.Blue’s journey was interesting to read and made me realize there is so much about this book that I absolutely loved. I can’t wait to read it a second time! It was “scrumdiddlyumptious”!

Book Discovery - Year 1983 - Ariel by Steven R. Boyett

Book Discovery

Year 1983

Ariel
By Steven R. Boyett

Ariel may've gone out of print after its 1983 debut, but fans haven't let it fade away. For years, used copies have been making the rounds, commanding a premium auction price & making a profit for used book dealers. Now, you can not only get your own fresh, updated version, you can get it as an ebook.

At four-thirty one Saturday afternoon the laws of physics as we know them underwent a change. Electronic devices, cars, industries stopped. The lights went out. Any technology more complicated than a lever or pulley simply wouldn't work. A new set of rules took its place—laws that could only be called magic. Ninety-nine percent of humanity has simply vanished. Cities lie abandoned. Supernatural creatures wander the silenced achievements of a halted civilization.

Pete Garey has survived the Change and its ensuing chaos. He wanders the southeastern United States, scavenging, lying low. Learning. One day he makes an unexpected friend: a smartassed unicorn with serious attitude. Pete names her Ariel and teaches her how to talk, how to read, and how to survive in a world in which a unicorn horn has become a highly prized commodity.

When they learn that there is a price quite literally on Ariel's head, the two unlikely companions set out from Atlanta to Manhattan to confront the sorcerer who wants her horn. And so begins a haunting, epic, and surprisingly funny journey through the remnants of a halted civilization in a desolated world.
