 I Loved It! September 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I had to wait 9 years for book 3 and I is fantastic. When I got the book and started to read it I could not put it down. I was upset with the second death in the book, but that is personal feelings.
It leaves you dreaming of a book 4.
Worth the wait. November 5, 2008
I have been waiting impatiently for years for the third book in The Unicorn Chronicles series to be released. I had almost given up hope. I love this series. Dark Whispers was worth the wait.
Worth the wait November 8, 2008
I loved this book! I began the series many years ago, and I wasn't sure about picking up the series again. I'm glad I did. I really appreciate these books more now than I did when I started them. The characters have a lot of depth although the book itself is told almost like a fairy tale. We see Cara mature, and we get to see the deph in her father, too. It had a variety of point of views, which are all portrayed differently. I definitely reccommend reading this one.
 Unconscionable cliffhanger. November 12, 2008
This is not even a cliffhanger. It is not a book. It is 462 excellent pages of an 800 page book. Let this serve as the warning that should have been on the cover of "Dark Whispers": Wait for pages 463 to 800 to be written before starting this book at all.
Book three explains a lot, but introduces new characters, new twists, new angles, which all build up to ... nothing. The building-up was done very well, but give me a break! The story races along until you hit the brick wall (the "epilogue" which in its essence is this, "everything you thought that this book was supposed to resolve, as well as the new tensions just introduced, is another story altogether. See ya.")
I guess Bruce ran out of space. Whether this disappiontment was the author's decision or the publisher's, my hope is that Book 4 comes out after 9 weeks, and not the 9 years it took for book 3. It's a near-fabulous series, but it needs more frequent installments.
BTW, the "cliffhanger" was so egregious that I was tempted to give only one star. The build-up however, and the entire series, was 4 or 5.
