Team Unicorn: Nono, this book proves my theory. Team Unicorn: Unicorns kick zombie ass and the whole world knows it. All of our communications we suddenly filled with shouts of "Team Unicorn!" Or "Zombie's eat unicorn's for breakfast!"Īnd so, we did what any self-respecting book blogger would do. We tried to agree on a favourite story, a favourite author, but we couldn't. We both liked it so much that we thought we'd do a joint review. Recently two of us here at whatchYAreading sat down and read a fantastic anthology full of our favourite authors. You'll have to read below to see who it was! Only.we're not going to just announce the winner. This is a great way to dip your toe into both zombie and unicorn infested waters as well as introducing yourself to some very intriguing authors.Before we get down to talking about how zombies are better than unicorns, we have to announce the winner of the signed Sarah Rees Brennan books. I had a lot of fun reading this book and the dialogue between Holly and Justine before each story only added to my pleasure. My top favorites were Princess Prettypants by Meg Cabot, Bougainvillea by Carrie Ryan, Inoculata by Scott Westerfeld and the hilarious send-up Children of the Revolution by Maureen Johnson.
Some of these unicorns were truly ass-kicking monsters!As in all short story collections, some of the stories appealed to me more than others. The winner? The reader, of course.I went into this a firm Team Zombie member as I have an aversion to the sweet, sparkly mythical unicorns that seem to litter little girls dreams, and although overall I probably preferred more of the zombie tales, let me tell you, in most cases the unicorns in this book were far from the sickly sweet, rainbow farting ones that I was expecting. This is a head on battle, alternating creature stories in an all out bid to take top honors. The stories are by well known writers from the fantasy genre, Libba Bray, Naomi Novik and Garth Nix, just to mention a few.
Unicorns is a showdown between two mythical creatures as hosted by Justine Larbalestier and Holly Black and meant to assist the reader in determining whether they are on Team Zombie or Team Unicorn.
