Product Description

Product Description

Of all the Rowan's children, Damia was the most brilliant and the one who inherited the Talent. It was obvious that she would be a Prime. As Damia grew up, her Talent became almost too strong to control, and the only solution was to send her to the planet of Deneb, to her strange grandmother.

From the Publisher

Damia is the magnificent sequel to The Rowan

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Introduction to SF & F, 27 Nov 1999
By Elise (Southend on Sea, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I first read this book about 8 years ago, when I was 13. It was the first "adult's" SF book that I had ever read, and I couldn't put it down. I started reading it at about nine at night, took it to bed with me and finished it in one sitting at about 5:30 the next morning. To a thirteen year old it was that good!

Looking at it from a more mature perspective, I think that I would be most likely to recommend it to people of about the age that I was when I read it. I think that for an "older" lady, Ms. McCaffrey has an incredible insight into the minds and thoughts of the young, although with such a young outlook, I hesitate to call her an "older" person at all, as she seems to prove the old adage that you are as old as you feel.

All of her books have the (possibly simplistic) core of good people getting the things that they need in life and the bad ones getting their just deserts, but unless you are such a hardened cinic that you cannot appreciate a happy ending, I would not hesitate to recommend her books to anyone (except those who turn their noses up at SF & F as something wierd and culty).

If, like I hadn't, you've never read a science fiction before, you could do worse than start here.

3.0 out of 5 stars Damia, 18 Mar 2005
By bookaholic - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Damia (Paperback)
What is happening to the quality of McCaffrey's writing? Both "The Rowan" and "Damia" are below the standards I have come to expect from her.

Damia is the third child of The Rowan and Jeff Raven. Her search for someone to lead, guide and support her in a man seems pathetic for a society of the future. Will women really continue to be that dependent? This was more of a love story to me. Yes McCaffrey's books tend to be about love, and romance books (even sci-fi ones) follow a recipe. But McCaffrey has at least managed to create friction and verve in her other books. Where this has gone now, is difficult to say.

That was a lot of negativity. I did read the book and it was enjoyable. After all I gave it a 3. It's just that I've come to expect more and was disappointed.
