Krim Du Shaw edition by Talia Haven Sytiva Sheehan Children eBooks Reviews
Disclaimer This book was sent to me by the author, Talia Haven, for an honest review.
Opinion This is a great short story that has a true knack for bringing out your inner child, who will inevitably be crying by the end. If you were like me as a child, you probably wondered what happened to those beautiful creatures called Unicorns. In this story, the reader sees the ugly side of mankind and the true beauty in innocence.
Krim Du Shaw is the dark and haunting tale about the extinction of Unicorns. This story starts out with Krim as a young colt, where he observes a place with stone walls and a heavy door that opens each day and closes each night. As the inhabitants of the stone fortress come out each day, Krim watches as the Stallions become fascinated by them. As the stallions feel an overwhelming urge to go towards the humans, Krim and the reader will find out what happens when they get too close.
This story is listed as being a children’s or YA short story, but I think it is highly suitable for all ages. This is my first Talia Haven short story, and WOW am I blown away by her creativity. This story feeds my inner child’s innocence and happiness, but completely just obliterates it at the same time! Not only does this story show the ugly side of mankind, it proves that some mistakes cannot be corrected over time. It was heartbreaking to be with Krim as he realized what the cost of his “yearning” meant, especially not being able to fulfill his need in his final moments. The writing is easy to follow and the story is only about 6 pages long. This author knows exactly how to condense a big idea into a small amount of words, which I find to be a hard thing to do. I am very interested in looking into other short stories by Talia Haven, this writer has me hooked!
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Krim Du Shaw is a male unicorn. This is a fable about him and what happened to the unicorns. Apparently only male unicorns have horns, according to this story. It was a strange concept for me – whenever one sees a drawing of a unicorn, it is often surrounded by rainbows and stars and all sorts of happy magical things, I guess I just always got the feeling that they were a bit of a 'girly' type of animal. So I did a quick double-check among a few other animal species with horns and tusks and such prized adornment, and it seems the horns, tusks, or whatever are common to both the males and females. So I really don't understand why only the male unicorn has a horn, but this is essential to the story, which is why I'm making a point about it.
This story is very short – only 6 pages. It was written with older children in mind who may have some trouble reading and have better success with something short. I've read another story by this author which was also relatively short (but not this short), and it packed a powerful punch, so I understand that a story doesn't have to be long to make it interesting and purposeful.
Unfortunately, I didn't care for this story much. I thought the whole thing was a bit depressing. It also didn't have characters or a story line that I thought might be appealing to young people. It lacked excitement. The cover picture fits the story line well - kind of dull and colorless. I think I understand what the author was trying to create, but this one just didn't deliver, in my opinion.

This week, we are serving up short stories in the Starving Review kitchen. Seeking to follow the recipe of the fairy tales of old, Krim Du Shaw promises magic and something ready for reluctant readers. Will this modern fable deliver or has this recipe gotten too old to stand the test of time?
Before we answer those questions, let us bring forth Ye Olde Starving Review Laws
I attempt to rate every book from the perspective of a fan of the genre
I attempt to make every review as spoiler-free as possible
Krim is a short tale, so our examination of it will be short and to the point. In its core ingredients, this treat calls back to many of the elements of old fairy tales, and we aren’t talking about the cleansed versions many of us are more familiar with. There is a strong sense of commonality with the original Grimm’s Tales, a world of wonder but just as much darkness. In that way, Krim hits on all the right flavor notes, while being more comfortable linguistically for modern young readers.
If Krim has any flaw for a young reader, it may be simply too dark. There is a strong undercurrent of inevitable loss and destruction, and an important message about giving into temptation and how it is sometimes unavoidable. Unlike many fables, though, there is no bright spot to be found here. The ending is starkly final, which is a strangely all-too-realistic flavor of fatalism for a young reader’s meal. However, not all children are the same and there is merit to bringing such dark themes home. Still, for my tastes and trying to access my youthful mind, it takes a half-step too far.
What does this mean in the end? Krim Du Shaw is a darkly fatalistic fairy tale, but it still zings with the flavors of wonder and magic. I am frankly a bit conflicted. I think I would have no worries with letting a hypothetical child of mine read this, but I would be ready for hard questions afterward. It’s a sad, tragic tale, but a worthy one.
FINAL VERDICT **** (A darkly fatalistic fairy tale, but still zinging with the flavors of wonder and magic!)
I liked this book. Wish it had been a little longer. The ending was very sad and made me wish those villagers had not been so mean to the poor unicorns.
