"Two Hearts"

[rj_anderson]

Why did I not know until now that Peter S. Beagle had written a sequel to The Last Unicorn? And it's lovely and heartbreaking and has a wonderful narrative voice, too.

*sighs wistfully*

It's a shame I haven't enjoyed anything else of Beagle's that I've read. TLU really grabbed me and still does, but I couldn't warm to A Fine and Private Place or The Innkeeper's Song at all.

Yes, "Two Hearts" almost killed me dead. It was perfectly sad and heartbreaking, just like The Last Unicorn, and it had the same feeling of this is how it must be that I hated as a child but I appreciate now. It wouldn't be the same story if Amalthea and Lir had lived happily ever after.

Peter B. says he may write a full-length Sooz novel--I do hope so!
