I was hesitant to buy this book, since I had never read book one and am more of a science fiction reader than a fantasy reader. To my surprise, I was delighted by SONG OF THE WANDERER. I thought Cara was a great character, who must deel with her heritage, and the choices her ancestors made and what side they were on, and how it affects her. The book was fast-paced and exciting, and never lagged. Mr. Coville has written a perfect book. Now I can't wait to read book one, INTO THE LAND OF THE UNICORNS, and hope that book three doesn't take too long to come out. But if it's as good as this one was, it will be worth the wait!

When a friend told me that a sequal to "Into the Land of the Unicorns" was coming out, I was lost for words. This book has meant so much to me, ever since I read it years ago. And once I did, I didn't stop. My copy of "Into the Land of the Unicorns" has become very bedragled and dogeared from my many readings, though luckily I am getting the hardback version soon. I have probably read it over 20 times, and every one is better than the last, because of the beautiful writing of Bruce Coville. "Then fear and hope and all attempts at calm were washed away in a tide of wonder, as a creature of such exquisite loveliness that the very sight of him brought tears to her eyes stepped into the moonlight." The words have touched my heart, and have remained there ever since I read that book.

As soon as I heard about the new book being released, I informed my sister, someone else who had read this book. And she responded with the indigent commment, "Well, it's about time!" which rather mystified me. Through the years after I read the book, I imagined new endings, each one different from the next, every time I read the book. So now that the sequal is coming out, it only makes the whole experience sweeter, for if I had been able to go out and buy the next book right away, it wouldn't have been nearly as wonderful or magical for me.

I would like nothing else better in the whole world than to be able to tell you, Mr. Coville, how much I have loved and cherished your book. I only hope that "the Song of the Wanderer" will be one of many Unicorn Chronicals to come, as I am certain I will share this book with my own children some day. I just wanted to let you know how much it means that you put so much into your books, a quality that I and other readers keep coming back to. I thank you with all my heart,

Mr. Coville has really outdone himself. I read it and was entranced. His writing style is great and fast-paced and really keeps the book moving. I finished it in one sitting...it was extraordinary! And doubly as long as the first one? Double the treat for all of his readers! I loved it! Just when you think it's over...guess what, it's not. And you finally get to meet Beloved face to face.

This book defies all other unicorn books with its originality [Well, except for the Firebringer Trilogy...heh :)], and the world Mr. Coville has created is legendary. Hope you've started the next one already, Mr. Coville! I'll be the first one to grab it!

Excellent writing, excellent characters, non-stop pace. You'll love it, guaranteed.

This book was dream like. I have waited a very long time for it's release. I enjoyed how Mr. Coville intigrated more mysterious events, and solved some of the old mysteries from the first book. This book was imaginative, and captivating. Mr. Coville, you have done an excellent job, and i look forward to a continuation of the series.

I have waited years to read the much awaited, 2nd book of the Unicorn Chronicles. And I am certainly pleased. This adventure that Cara goes through is a master piece. A wonderful fantasy in Luster, the land of the unicorns, as Cara tries to avaid Beloved and find her grandmother. I was touched with the ending. (don't worry, i won't spoil the surprise) I can't wait fot the third book!

I read book one, I don't remember about it, but I know I liked it. I just checked out "Song of the Wanderer", on Thursday. I started reading it yesterday and I practically just finished it about maybe 40 minutes or less ago. I loved it. The characters were richly detailed, especially the Unicorns, I like Lightfoot and Finder. The story really is excellent. Bruce Coville really knows how to keep people riveted to their seats for hours on end. I'm kind of sad that I finished it so early. I wanted to stop reading it for a while last night, but I just couldn't stand it. It called me back, It's that good that you keep wanting more. Where is the next one? I can't wait to find out what happens. I want to see what happens in the final battle. Beloved is going down. I hope, but I'm sure she will be defeated. Three words, READ THIS BOOK(Song of the Wanderer), you will not be dissapointed. I'm 15 years old, I know that I'll probably be grown up when the Third one comes out, but what's to stop me from reding it? I don't care how old I am, I love it. And I think you will too.

I absolutely love unicorns and bruce coville for thesebooks. Ialso love "A glory of unicorns" ...ever since I readbook 1 for the first time I have read it about 30 more times and it is my favorite book.

Bruce Coville, this is to you, You are the best author in the world today to have written such exquisite books. I loved every minute of all your unicorn books, and I do believe, whether you do or not, that unicorns exist and I feel condfident I will until the day I die. No one believed me when I said you would come out with more and even less as the years went by. But I have examined and read the book enough to know that it is called the unicorn chronicles(notice the "s") so there had to be more.

You will enjoy this book no matter how old or young you are.

THESE ARE THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER HAD OR READ AND I OWN ALOT (I MEAN ALOT!) OF BOOKS. READ THESE BOOKS!

SONG OF THE WANDERER,by Bruce Coville, is a fantastic follow-up story to the book, INTO THE LAND OF THE UNICORNS. I waited for what seemed like forever for this book to be written. And as soon as I found out it was in stores I snatched it up and devoured every word. I couldn't believe how well Bruce told this story. It is even better than the first book,(INTO THE LAND OF THE UNICORNS)if you can believe it. I highly recemend this book to all ages. I loved it, and am sure that you will too.

This book is about Cara's adventures to find her grandmother back on Earth, and to avoid Beloved. This book has many surprising twists and turns, and it is better then the first one, if that is possible. Not buying this book is a big mistake!

I really loved this book. It was even better then some of the Harry Potter books. I just couldn't put it down. I kept telling myself just finish the chapter then STOP! Of course that didn't work. In the book most of your questions from the previous novel, Into The Land Of Unicorns, are answered. Also Cara is on a quest to bring her grandmother, known as the Wanderer, back to the unicorns while also trying to save the unicorns from Beloved. Also what about her crazy past, who is her real mother anyway? Read all about Cara's quest and more in Song of The Wanderer, by Bruce Coville. It was one of the best books I've ever read!
