This is a wonderful tale of growing up and trying to find your way. I am a big fan of Anne McCaffrey and expected a great read, I was not disappointed. I feel that the character of Acorna is one of her best ever. I am looking forward to reading more about her.
I loved this book and the arena of characters McCaffrey enters. It's a mix of fantasy and Star Trek. If you love Star Trek you will love this book. It's of an orphan girl who learns she has special powers and must harnass them. I simply loved this book!
I read the first 5 books of this series. I couldn't complete the series. They are saccharine sweet. I love Anne McCaffrey, but these are not her best work....not by a long shot.
