Diana Peterfreund's Ascendant
Peterfreund's second novel about teenage girls who hunt vicious unicorns (Rampant was the first) starts a bit slow--I'm not really interested in protagonist Astrid's lovelife or her being kind of whiny about her destiny, but as she grows more disenchanted with killing unicorns, things take a turn for the interesting. In retrospect, this didn't move us too much past where she was at the end of the first one, but the little bit that she did accomplish was pretty cool. I know this all sounds vague but parts are too complicated to go into and parts would be pretty spoiler-y. Suffice it to say I'm really enjoying this take on unicorn mythology. B+.
