These are very... very twee.
I get it, I'm not actually the demographic for these books. My young child is. But this was just... painful for me personally to read. It wasn't BAD... it just... was... I don't even know how to describe it.
When my 6 year old is reading books on her own, I'm sure she will love it.
For now, I'm wishing I hadn't bought the entire series... because ugh that is 12 of these to slog through.
At least they are quick.

The second book I read tonight by the author.
This one is almost exactly the same as the other in terms of plot. Two kids end up in a magical world. Something evil steals a group of magical objects. The kids volunteer to get one of these objects back.
The books are aimed at new readers. The language used is appropriate to those.
If I had read this one before the other then maybe I would have rated it as 3 stars and the other as 2 stars. I think on average they both should get 2.5 stars.

This book is almost exactly the same as the weather fairy series, except with unicorns instead of fairies. There is a bit more of an effort to differentiate the two female protagonists by giving them 'likes' (a sporty one vs a scientific one). I wasn't keen. It is just searching on a quest for a magical item with talking unicorns. The unicorns weren't amazing and were a bit dull if I'm honest! There is always a princess one in charge, and I didn't really like them all talking!

Easy enough for my child to follow, but has an odd otherworldliness that makes the protagonists quite uncanny.
It's a classic tale of getting the mcguffin back. Honestly would make a decent dungeons and dragons scenario!
My youngest enjoyed it all the same and wants to read book 2, so I imagine he's a bigger fan than I am!
