Location: This novel is set in space, very far from the planet earth as it is at the edge of the universe.
This is more of an intellectual adventure, than one filled with explosions and space-chases. The less-adventurous scenes are necessary to the plot, though they occasionally drag. Pacing: The story flows in a slow-but-steady manner, with moments of excitement. The story won’t make you laugh out loud, but you could be caught snickering. Writing Style: There is no obvious humour in this book, merely some situations that could be considered somewhat amusing while being portrayed in a serious manner. Partway through her career, Anne started co-writing with up-and-coming authors to help build their careers, including her own son.Ĭover: It is the artwork that convinced me to pick up my first science-fiction novel as, being the girlish lover of the mythical and magical I am, finding a novel with a lonely unicorn girl piqued my interest.

Synopsis: When three asteroid miners heard the distress signal they had to help, but what they found in the escape pod was a little girl… with a unicorn horn.
