Rating: Summary: disappointed Review: I read several of John Lee's Unicorn books before finally giving up on the series. The concept of these novels was very interesting - a mideval type society with magicians and all the like, battling a non-human species that inhabits their own planet. The humans and other sedinent creatures are having trouble co-existing, and enter a war to eliminate each other. Meanwhile, a trio of Unicorns with some telepathic type abilities hook up with one of the mages, and the humans view these unicorns as the key to their success. The Unicorns can also travel through space, and bring their human friend to another planet, perhaps in hopes of helping win the war? Overall, the series had some interesting concepts and the battle scenes were graphic (for those who like war stories). However, the characters were VERY VERY dry (even depressing), and I found myself barely able to concentrate on the books, and finally gave up. These books desperately needed a little more humor or at least humanity to its dour characters.
