In The Last Unicorn, did you enjoy ...

... a quest to recover something lost and magical?

Stardust by Neil Gaiman

If you were enchanted by the unicorn’s journey to discover what became of her kin, you’ll be swept away by Tristran Thorn’s quest to retrieve a fallen star for his beloved. Stardust is a lush fairy tale brimming with adventure, mysterious forests, and magical encounters, all propelled by a heartfelt, goal-driven narrative.

... a band of companions on a fantastical journey?

Watership Down by Richard Adams

If you loved traveling alongside Schmendrick, Molly Grue, and the unicorn, you’ll be riveted by Hazel and his group of rabbits as they embark on a perilous search for a new home. Watership Down captures the camaraderie, banter, and deep bonds of an ensemble cast facing challenges together.

... characters transformed by their trials and losses?

Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay

If you were moved by the Last Unicorn’s transformation from innocence to bittersweet wisdom, Tigana will resonate with you. Characters like Devin and Dianora are shaped and changed by love, sacrifice, and memory, giving the story a powerful arc of personal growth and self-discovery.

... mythic creatures and legends woven into the fantasy world?

The Forgotten Beasts Of Eld by Patricia A. McKillip

If you delighted in the ethereal presence of unicorns, harpies, and Red Bulls, you’ll be captivated by Sybel’s menagerie of legendary beasts and the air of timeless myth that infuses The Forgotten Beasts of Eld. This novel is a poetic tapestry of ancient tales and magical creatures.

... fairytale melancholy and wistful, poetic storytelling?

The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman

If Beagle’s lyrical prose and sense of bittersweet nostalgia lingered with you, The Ocean at the End of the Lane offers a dreamy, flowery style. Gaiman’s narrative evokes the haunting beauty and sadness of lost innocence, much like the unicorn’s journey through a fading magical world.
