At Last,it's Here! July 14, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Well,after years and years of waiting,book three in the Unicorn Chronicles is HERE!!!!Praise the Lord!And I am delighted to say that it is worth the wait.I literally could not put this book down until I was done reading it.A danger to the unicorns has been discovered. All mention of it has been blotted out of the unicorn chronicles except for its name-the Whisperer.The new Queen of the Unicorns sends Cara,Lightfoot,Belle,and Finder to the Valley of the Centaurs to see if they can find out what the Whisperer is.But they are split up when delvers attack them,and Cara is captured.With the help of some old friends,however(and a new ally)she is able to escape.Can they find out the identity of the Whisperer before the Blood Moon,when Beloved will begin the last hunt? Meanwhile,Ian Hunter,Cara's father,is searching for a way into the Rainbow Prison so that he can free his wife.He finds two new friends-Rajiv,a cocky young street urchin,and Fallon,a mysterious man who also has someone he cares about in the Rainbow Prison.With their help, Ian makes it into the Prison before Beloved's hunters catch him.But when they get there,Rajiv discovers that there is no food or water in the Rainbow Prison.In a race against the clock,can Ian find his wife in time? Dark Whispers is a wonderful book,and the fact that it is told from other POVs beside Cara's gives the story more depth.This is a suspenseful story.There is a tragic death.There is a deadly enemy who is the cause of all the unicorn's woes.There is a betrayal by one of Cara's dear friends.And the exciting cliffhanger ending will leave readers desperate for book four.
So worth the wait July 29, 2008

I first started reading The Unicorn Chronicles about 12 years ago (when I was 10). I enjoy reading them as much now as I did back then. This series is dark at times, and full of imagination and a terrific history that keeps readers enthralled. This latest book is terrific, and I couldn't put it down.

At long last, the third book to the Unicorn Chronicles! In this story, Cara Diana Hunter, daughter of a trained unicorn slayer, and granddaughter of the unicorn queen Amalia Flickerfoot, must travel with her cousin, the unicorn Lightfoot, and friends from past journeys to unearth the story that has the potential to uncover the secret between the eminity between the unicorns and the vicious monsters called the delvers. Meanwhile, in India, Ian Hunter, Cara's father, starts of on a dangerous quest to free his wife from the red shaft of the Rainbow Prison with the help of a mysterious man called Fallon and an orphaned boy named Rajiv. With over 450 pages of cliffhanger chapters, terrifying kidnappings, a heartbreaking death, the appearance of former allies and new-found friends, not to mention a horrifying betrayal, with a cliffhanger ending that will leave you beating your head against the book, Dark Whispers is a book not to be missed!
This book was well written and worth the wait, but I don't think I can wait so long for book 4!
