Ok I finished the book forever ago actually and had to return it to the library, and now I feel like an idiot because I forgot the different types of unicorns. What were they?

Anyways, I really liked this first book. Where to start? What really caught my attention was the whole killer unicorn thing because it sounded so ridiculous. I mean, nowhere had I heard that so it was intriguing.

I got into the book immediately but I must say that around the middle of so I felt the pace faltered a bit. However, it soon picked up again and then it was crowning of awesome moment after crowning of awesome moment.

As for the characters, at first I wasn’t very attached to Astrid. She seemed to me pretty pasive, but then after that battle that nearly kills her she metamorphoses to Astrid the warrior and I’m loving her. Good character development.

As for the other girls, I loved Pippa since the beginning and the same goes for Cory. I can’t say for the rest of the girls since we haven’t seen much of them, but I’m intrigued by Zelda (the geek side of me loves her name), Valerija or Grace. But in general I hope we see more of them in the next novel. After all I love girl camaraderie and there’s not enough of it in YA, sadly.

Giovanni was such a sweet guy! Although, as Astrid, I also wanted to smack him when he came to the Cloisters.

I loved Pippa’s and Astrid’s relationship – reminds me of me and my cousins, especially a lot of the one I have with one of them who is only 2 years my junior and we are more like sisters -, as well as Cory’s and Astrid’s friendship that developped so subtly.

And in general I just liked this book subtlety and how it takes its time to develop every character and relationship. It pays off at the end when everything comes together like a charm.

Well, this was almost all. Thank God the next book comes out soon (although The Book Depository is telling me I will have to wait a few weeks more than in the US, sob). I hope it gets licensed in Spain!

I do have some questions:

-How important are the other hunters going to be to the story? I mean, are they going to have as big of a part in the story developement as Astrid?

-Um… yeah, no other questions.

So basically: awesome book, absolutely love it!!!

But I’m not gonna complaint about bureaucracy right now. I wanna say how much I loved the book! I really, really loved. i almost worship it. (just kidding, I’m no lunatic.)

All I have to say is: Diana, I think you are, by far, one of the best new novelists of our time. Your books are so much fun and thrill! I can’t describe how into I got in the Secret Society series. I read all of them over and over again, and I even lent to many of my friends and to my cousins. The next step is to convince my mom to read it.

But now I have discovered a brand new world in Rampant. The unicorns and the killers… it’s such an amazing plot! I have never thought I would be so crazy about a book with this topic. My family thinks I’m crazy when I wonder around saying “Oh my God, this evil unicorns are the best!”.

Enough of that… Let’s talk about the book. Phillipa is my favorite character. I like Astrid very much too, but I guess I kinda connected with Phil. Because she has my age, and I also played volleyball, and she’s all fun and all play. The way she keeps calling Astrid, like “Asteroid” and “Astroturf”… it’s amazing! I LOL’d all the time! And I really, really think she should (and will be) with Neil.

You see, I have a thing for british and his character is kinda lonely and all full of responsability with Cory. I think she’s a nice girl and all, but sometimes he just can’t handle it, because of his dead sister and everything. So, he’s one of my favorite characters too.

Other character I also loved was Bonegrinder. She’s such a doll and vivacious, even tough she’s a man-eating monster. I don’t care, I would play for our with her if I could. And I would pet it as well.

As for Astrid lovers, I can’t hate more Brandt. He reminds me of someone I know which is exactly the same. Full of himself and mean. I hate him. But Giovanni is a cute guy. He’s understandable and gorgeous. I just can’t make him my favorite male romantic lead because you already got me Poe. However it doesn’t exclude all his features.

Even with all my excitement with this book, I am also going nuts with all the waiting to Ascendant. I want to know more about Bucephalus and the Remedy and the hunters and everything else. I am really looking foward to this sequel and I want to know more and more about the Unicorns’ Universe.

You have certainly got yourself a fan for life, Diana. Thanks for being so creative and imaginative, I owe you one.
