Description

When a vicious assault compels sixteen-year-old Mnemba to leave her village, she joins her cousin Tumelo as a tracker in his booming safari business. It doesn’t take her long to become one of the best safari guides in Nazwimbe. Her work allows her to escape into a new world of wondrous creatures, and to avoid thinking about what happened at home. When Mr. Harving arrives with his daughter Kara to research unicorns, Tumelo assigns Mnemba to them as a guide. The attraction between Mnemba and Kara is almost instant, but Kara is engaged to be married when she returns home. Venturing into the savanna alone, they uncover a plot by a gang of poachers to enslave the unicorns, harnessing their supernatural strength to build a railway. They must save the creatures Kara loves while struggling not to succumb to forbidden love themselves.

Unicorn Tracks is a strange little book. Mnemba and Kara are two likable (albeit reckless!) female characters and their romance is kind of sweet. The unicorn plot was strange and a bit confusing at times but easy to breeze through. I also really appreciated that being queer wasn't a big deal and neither of the two struggled with their feelings in terms of having feelings for another woman. What was weird was the modern way characters talked to each other when the story was set at the end of the 19th century. That occasionally took me out of the story. Disclaimer: I received an advanced reade copy from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
