Story4.5 out of 5 stars 221
Celine Montclaire goes to the Shadow Market to escape. She would go anywhere in Paris, or the entire world, to escape the suffering she experiences at the hands of her family. She did not expect to meet Valentine Morgenstern there, or to have him promise her freedom and the heart of the man she secretly loves. On one condition, of course. At the Shadow Market, nothing is for free.

A good read even for a first-time reader

Big fan of the narrator, so I bought this without any prior experience with the series.
Based on just this novella, I might read more. Really smart characterization and hints at some really compelling storylines. Would have liked a more complete story, perhaps, but this is technically for people more familiar with the world so I forgive it for not being totally accessible or comprehensive for a newbie.
I really liked the narration and found Rickards's voice pleasing and almost seductive sometimes. That said, I'm not sure I'd have felt that way if I weren't already a big fan. There are a couple of moments where I wished for different line readings and I usually like just a touch more variation in voices for different characters. Very good for a first time audiobook reader, though.

Tiffany can't avoid being funny: it's just who she is. But The Last Black Unicorn is so much more than a side-splittingly hilarious collection of essays - it's a memoir of the struggles of one woman who came from nothing and nowhere. A woman who was able to achieve her dreams by reveling in her pain and awkwardness, showing the world who she really is, and inspiring others through the power of laughter.

The audiobook is the only way
Reviewed: 08-06-18
Memoirs are my favorite kinds of books to listen to, but in this case, I think it's the only proper way to experience this title. Haddish brings her standup skill to her reading and it feels like one long, glorious set--with some surprising emotional beats too. As to the content, it's a compelling mix of hilarity and sadness that results in one of the best memoirs I've ever read. And if that doesn't convince you,, there's a song at the end I can't imagine is even half as fun as just lyrics on a page.
