![]() ![]() I had a lot of fun reading this book and the dialogue between Holly and Justine before each story only added to my pleasure. ![]() My top favorites were Princess Prettypants by Meg Cabot, Bougainvillea by Carrie Ryan, Inoculata by Scott Westerfeld and the hilarious send-up Children of the Revolution by Maureen Johnson. ![]() Some of these unicorns were truly ass-kicking monsters!As in all short story collections, some of the stories appealed to me more than others. The winner? The reader, of course.I went into this a firm Team Zombie member as I have an aversion to the sweet, sparkly mythical unicorns that seem to litter little girls dreams, and although overall I probably preferred more of the zombie tales, let me tell you, in most cases the unicorns in this book were far from the sickly sweet, rainbow farting ones that I was expecting. This is a head on battle, alternating creature stories in an all out bid to take top honors. The stories are by well known writers from the fantasy genre, Libba Bray, Naomi Novik and Garth Nix, just to mention a few. Unicorns is a showdown between two mythical creatures as hosted by Justine Larbalestier and Holly Black and meant to assist the reader in determining whether they are on Team Zombie or Team Unicorn. ![]()
