Product Description

Review

"'Anne McCaffrey, one of the queens of science fantasy, knows exactly how to give her public what it wants' The Times."

Product Description

Although she has made peace with her Linyaari heritage, Acorna knows that only by returning to the frozen stillness of space will she ever feel truly at home.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you liked the other Acorna books, you must read this!, 28 July 2001
By A Customer
I first read Acorna a while ago and swiftly follwed up with the next two. The whole series is written so that you are interested in the main character and what actually happens to her and the other characters skillfully weaved into the storyline.

The latest in the series, Acorna's World takes up where Acorna's people left off, with Acorna (the heroine) flying off on a junk ship with a human friend and a Linyaari male she has taken a fancy to. I was really excited when i got this book, simply because i wanted to know what happens next. This book does deliver too. Without giving the story away, Acorna is the heroine she always is, getting into numerous scrapes in the name of rescuing the people she loves and a few planets (in fact, also enlarging 'the federation' and wiping out an enemy, namely the Khleevi).

The inbuilt 'romance' that appears in many of Anne's books is also present in Acorna's world, and the book is as good as the first three. If you enjoyed them, it is well worth reading just to know what happens to Acorna; and the previous books always leave you wanting that little bit more too.

4.0 out of 5 stars magical and enchanting, 27 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Acorna's World (Hardcover)
Acorna's World is a spectacular book written in Anne McCaffrey's marvolous words, unfolding a story that becomes real to even the most unimaginative of minds through its characters, detail and wit. its a one to buy!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Dull, 6 Sep 2001
By A Customer
If you like Anne McCaffrey books you'll probably buy this anyway, but its definitely not one of her best. The storyline is thin, and a lot of the book is taken up with reviewing the plots of the previous 3 books in the Acorna series.

Better than Acorna's People, this installment still doesn't measure up to the two original novels. This book follows Acorna while she's living on the salvage ship with captain... Read more

Not Anne McCaffrey at best. The first two books in the series were good but the plot is wearing thin. Read more
