Work detailsCrystal Line by Anne McCaffrey (1992)
Oddly for a fantasy fan, I had never read a solo Anne McCaffrey book. I happened upon this one on CD and mostly listened to it while walking to and from work. However, part of the way through the second CD I got back to my apartment and was so interested in what would happen next that I couldn't turn it off. The woman reading it did an excellent job and the story was intriguing (part fantasy, slight romance). Now that I know this is book 3, it makes sense that I was slightly confused in places; the passage of time was a bit confusing, and I was a little lost when what seemed to be well-known concepts were discussed, but was able to keep up fairly well. I'll be looking for the first two in the series. ( )I enjoyed this when I read it, though I do not recall much about it now. It was decent, but not amazing. Okay, despite a few negative comments I have read about this book, I decided to read it...after all, it's the third in a series that I do enjoy and that I have reread several times. So, on to the book... I don't think it's on a par with the first two books, "Crystal Singer" and "Killashandra", but I enjoyed it anyway. There were some loose ends that I wish had been resolved, but I can live with that. Worth a read? Yes. A reread? Perhaps. Killashandra's no longer young, and the amnesia that preys on Crystal Singers has definitely set in. The conclusion of the Crystal series is probably my least favorite - mostly because McCaffrey does such a good job of portraying crystal singing's long-term effects - Killashandra is whiney, selfish and cold. Unfortunately for most of the book. What is fun, and which I'd forgotten, is the intersection of the Crystal series with the Brainships. CRYSTAL SINGER no reviews | add a review Is contained in

Crystal singer Killashandra Ree doesn't mind the gradual loss of memory that her crystal mining job brings, until someone else cares enough to try to salvage what's left of her mind.
