Representaion Toward Books Acorna: The Unicorn Girl (Acorna #1)
She was just a little girl, with a tiny horn in the center of her forehead, funny-looking feet, beautiful silver hair, and several curious powers: the ability to purify air and water, make plants grow, and heal scars and broken bones. A trio of grizzled prospectors found her drifting in an escape pod amid the asteroids, adopted her, and took her to the bandit planet Kezdet, a place where no questions are asked and the girl might grow up free. But Kezdet has its own dark secret. The prosperity of the planet is based on a hideous trade in child slave labor, administered by "The Piper" -- a mystery man with special plans for Acorna and her powers. But free little girls have a way of growing into freedom-loving young women, and Acorna has special plans all her own. . .

This book started out with a highly emotional scene that had me tearing up a little by the end, even though I didn't know the characters, but it went downhill from there. I think part of the problem is that it's a little too heavy on the science stuff in the first chapters for my taste. That bored me and led to me not connecting to Acorna or the miners who rescued her. After that I never really could get into the story, though it did have its good moments, especially after the group came toSurprisingly dark for what I thought would be a fun sci-fi romp featuring a unicorn girl. The writing was simplistic and uneven, and couldn't pull off what it attempted. The plot had little direction and didn't manage to create any tension.
A very cool story. It left me full of positive energy. =)
Recently I watched a review for The Last Unicorn, it was based on a book, however when I went looking for the book I couldnt find it. I found this book however. Having read all of the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey I decided to give this series a try.This was an enjoyable book. It seemed to lack somewhat in characterization and plot. My memories of Dragonriders are a little fuzzy as it was several years ago I read them, but it seems they were much better written. These books boil
Magical and dazzling, this peculiar fantasy novel about a girl who is part unicorn is one of the most interesting books I've read so far this year. Although at times I thought it was veering off the path of imaginative and becoming more typical, I still really enjoyed it.
I am not usually one for sci-fi books, but there is the occational novel that breaks that barrer and this is one of them! A suprisingly futuristic take on fantasy elements, this series is a fantastic read.Three astroid miners find an escape pod from an unknown alien race in which they find a curiously built infant girl. With no other option available, they take to raising the child and come to care for her. But the story builds as Acorna seeks to find her way the world and battle the corrupt
