Rampant follows Astrid as she discovers that despote how crazy she thought her mother was there really are unicorns in the world. And not just any kind of unicorns, but giant killer unicorns. And it's her destiny to kill them. Sent off to a convent in Rome to train in the fine art of unicorn hunting, Astrid learns about life, boys, and that not everything is as it seems. 
 I found some parts of this plot were too predictable, but that didn't take from the enjoyment of the book and the twists that were still twists were pretty great. I was more interested in the girls dealing with issues of being young women rather than hunting unicorns, and that was a great backdrop for bringing out and discussing those issues. 
 The characters were mostly well rounded. I wished Astrid could've been more sure of herself in some places but I still enjoyed the way her character progressed. My favourite character was, surprisingly, Giovanni. He had a interesting and surprising amount of depth to him. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and the ideas about young women it discussed.
