Warrior Beautiful

Warrior Beautiful (Riders of Paradesos, #1)Warrior Beautiful 
by Wendy Knight
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG! That was freaking fantastic! I've already started the second book, I need to know what happens because of that ending, it was like reading Make of Athena all over again!

I've nerve been big on reading about unicorns, though I do like them and have a few pics of them kicking about (my first poster was of a unicorn, and one of my favourite movies is The Last Unicorn), I never got into reading about them. Though, Drink, Slay, Love did a pretty good job at reimagining them. But Warrior Beautiful, damn, I want my own battle unicorn.

Wendy Knight basically did an overhaul on what we think unicorns should be like. She made them sexy, strong, and downright badass! Don't get me wrong, there's still glitter and sparkles, but with fire!

I love Scout, she is everything that a YA lead should be like. Loyal, strong, though broken she didn't do anything that I would deem as idiotic. Sure she has that one moment in the end, but hell I would have left too. I'm a pretty selfish person, so yeah, I'm so with you Scout.

I don't like Tray, I don't care if he's all still in love with her and whatnot, and feeling guilty, or whatever you want to toss in to justify his actions. In my eyes his a tool that Scout needs to let go of and just be herself and focus on healing and finding her sister. (Don't get me started on his rebound girlfriend that he just simply had to forget about Scout... total jackass! Even his friends thought so).

Enough about that mess...

This book has perfect pacing and leads you into the battle without you feeling too confused at the start. After that first bloody fight scene, we are tossed into another world, and that is where the fun, the info, and the heartache truly begins. There are no secrets, what questions are asked an answer is given. I love how upfront this book is, and it's that format that kept me reading, and then straight onto the next book!

I highly recommend this book, the action is bloody, the fight is hopeless, and I guarantee you will never look at a unicorn the same way again.

Happy Reading
