After several years traveling, Tanaquil — a sorceress like her mother with the ability to mend — returns home only to discover that her true love has been betrothed to her sister, Empress Lizra.

She discovers also several new powers. Powers she will need to foil Tanakil’s sinister plot of revenge.

Review

“Lavish, whimsical dreamscapes reminiscent of Lewis Carroll. Lee’s charming exuberance is everywhere in evidence, no more so than in Tanaquil’s familiar, a wonderfully comic, cavorting beasty.” —Publishers Weekly

“Lee’s language is lyrical and her setting is fantastical. Tanaquil is a good role model for any young girl struggling with love, relationships or parents.” The San Diego Union-Tribune

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Feb 18 2004
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Tanith Lee should be given credit for her handling of an old cliché - that of an alternate reality, where everything is the opposite - with style and flair. Unfortunately, I was left with the feeling that the journey to the alternate world was completely unnecessary. Tanaquil did not learn anything she did not already know in the Real World. So while enjoyable, Red Unicorn is actually quite pointless.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Grand Finale Aug 31 2003
By Brittney Hinson
Format:Mass Market Paperback
After many adventures and a few heartbreaks, Tanaquil returns home to her mother's fortress in the desert only to find that everything has changed. Tanaquil's mother has fallen in love and, if she spent little time with Tanaquil before, she spends none with her now. Tanaquil is considering moving on when adventure comes for her in the shape of a red unicorn...

The red unicorn leads Tanaquil into a world that mirrors her own. Everyone she knows and loves is in this world...even she is here in the form of a princess named Tanakil. But everything here is opposite. The sky is green, wolves eat nuts, and everyone that is evil in Tanaquil's world is good here... and vice versa.

Can Tanaquil stop her evil twin Tanakil before she does the unthinkable and murders her own sister? And will Tanaquil ever be able to return to her own world? And, more importantly, if she does, will Tanaquil have the courage to tell her half-sister the awful truth...that Tanaquil is in love with her half-sister's future husband? How could such a tangled story have a happy ending...you may be surprised.

This is the last book in the trilogy that also contains Black Unicorn and Red Unicorn. All three books are wonderful, but this one is by far the best. I highly recommend them all.

With Tanaquil's heartache, it is a natural downer. But Lee's fast-paced writing never lets go, and I will promise this: the last few pages redeem its depressing nature just enough... Read more

I dunno, I was very disappointed in this one. I LOVED Black Unicorn, and I thought Gold Unicorn was excellent, but the plot of Red Unicorn just left me... a bit cold. Read more
