About to start with my new book purchase! Yet another book with a mythical unicorn (the other being A Swiftly Tilting Planet)! Dunno why I'm attracted to fantasy books with unicorns! Hmmm... probably a gay thing! Hahaha!

"I have been mortal, and some part of me is mortal yet. I am full of tears and hunger and the fear of death, though I cannot weep, and I want nothing, and I cannot die. I am not like the others now, for no unicorn was ever born who could regret, but I do. I regret."
