Overall, though, it wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. Beagle spends a lot of time contrasting the real world with the magic world by listing things like rent-to-own stores, broken gas stations, etc., compared to blue trees and tiny dragons. Wonderful, but he does it three or four times throughout the book without any sort of progression or development of meaning. They're almost just lists. In fact, his world of magic is lovely, but it doesn't seem to have any intrinsic meaning like the worlds of Tolkien, Rowling, Lewis, Barrie, MacDonald, Andersen and other great fairy tale writers. As in all good fairy tales a great sacrifice is made, but, for me, it wasn't handled well, and came across as anticlimactic rather than the ideal "eucatastrophe" that Tolkien believed was the essence of a proper fairy tale. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

We also get the story of her Abuelita and Indigo who comes into the music shop bearing a horn that looks like a shell, and more discussion of worlds-intersecting-worlds is discussed. And I get that it is a YA novel but unlike both [Tamsin] and [The Last Unicorn], this novel seems to talk down to the reader. At the end, of course, Joey is reunited with her place in the world, and Indigo finds himself and instructs Joey in both worlds, and Abuelita finds herself, but it just seemed quite bland.
The illustrations by Robert Rodriguez in this edition are gorgeous, and he captures the unicorn as Beagle best describes her: cloven hooved, delicate beauty, a goat's tale, etc., etc. ( )
