• The Last Unicorn: Minimalism Done Slightly Better

    Ah, The Last Unicorn. I’ve genuinely forgotten if I’ve reviewed this book yet or not. If I haven’t, then I’m gonna need to fix that sometime soon. But for now, let’s just take a good look at the cover. At first glance, this is another ‘A Game of Thrones’ situation, where the cover was put…

    Ah, the dryad. A fantasy classic. But if we’ve learned anything in this series, it’s that those aren’t immediately prone to a win.

Some people love the series with all their hearts (heh heh, puns). Others think…
