“Definitely Not a Conscious Influence, but I Love the Original Peter S. Beagle Novel [The Last Unicorn]”, 2024-06-07 (; backlinks):
…The Last Unicorn, which turns out to be surprisingly like The Quantum Thief trilogy…
Definitely not a conscious influence, but I love the original Peter S. Beagle novel and have read it many times.
It’s not that obscure! Many people rightly consider it a modern fantasy classic. It’s even been translated into Finnish, and that’s how I read it originally, in… 1994 or so.
