One of McCaffrey's best outside of the Pern series. MUCH better than Acorna. ( )

Amnesiac crystal miner yells at boyfriend, feels bad about it until she forgets everything, repeat. ( )

A favorite sci-fi series. Recommended if you like strong heroines. ( )

Brain candy. I'm not a huge fan of Anne McCaffrey's style but somehow this bothers me less than the Pern books. ( )

This is listed as the conclusion of the crystal singer trilogy. I didn't find the ending that satisfying. It felt like it held no conclusion to the series. Somehow, it felt left open so if the author wanted to go back to make it a longer series, she could.

Now I know she has written Brain/Brawn novels within the same universe, but these are not technically continuing on the path of the crystal singers. I would hope that the author does as another did, and tie up the last of the loose ends that dangle so nicely at the end of the book with no conclusion. ( )

Anne McCaffrey

Crystal Singer series

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345384911, Mass Market Paperback)

"A treat for long-time McCaffrey fans, a good read and a satisfying look at one of the most haunting facets of the crystal singers' profession."
LOCUS
When Killashandra Ree joined the mysterious Heptite Guild, she knew that she would be forever changed. Crystal singing brought ecstasy and pain, near-eternal life...and gradual loss of memory. What she hadn't counted on was the loneliness she felt when her heart still remembered what her mind had forgotten. Fortunately, someone still cared enough to try to salvage what was left of Killashandra's mind. But she would have to learn to open herself--to another person, and to all her unpleasant memories.
