Davies' mixes his characters well, with a fair few turning out to be not at all what they seem, and sufficient of the others being no more nor less than their presentation so that while you might question everyone's motives, you'd be wrong to do so.
''The Unicorn Road'' is a romance in the traditional sense. It conjures the brutality and beauty of the lands it crosses, and speaks of love, honour, greed and power. In its final unfolding it comes down to the importance of words: their power and their limits…and how much can be said without them, and how far they can be trusted. A few philosophical questions are raised along the way, but mostly it is a story, to be enjoyed in and of itself, and not to be analysed too deeply.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag.
If this book appeals then you might also enjoy [[The Aviary Gate by Katie Hickman]] or [[In Great Waters by Kit Whitfield]].
