But for Thandie and her friends, a curfew means more adventure. They dare each other to sneak about the city at nightalthough Thandie is the only one brave enough to actually do it. One night, Thandie is startled by a strange boy.

When we saw this cover, C instantly fell in love. She loves the colours and the dark vibes this cover is giving off.
Little Miss C has been really happy with the author's writing style. She describes this book as breathtaking and beautifully written. She has barely been able to put this book down at all and has been quite excited about the magical setting of the story as well as the stunning world building. She also liked what the author did with the storyline and where it was all headed in the end.
Unfortunately, C had a bit of a hard time warming up to the characters and especially got a bit frustrated with Linnel in the beginning due to her actions. Though later on, she started to even like Linnel.
All summed up, ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀʀᴋᴇꜱᴛ ᴜɴɪᴄᴏʀɴ has been a good read for in between. Little Miss C enjoyed this book and would absolutely recommend it. This book is very well suited for middle grade readers.
