 70% Romance Novel, 30% Sci-Fi August 25, 2009
Scott Allen (New York)
This story by Anne McCaffrey is part two of the Crystal Singer trilogy. I have to admit that I liked the first novel much better. The first novel was the story of how Killashandra Ree becomes a Crystal Singer, and took us along with her entry into an interesting world. In "Killashandra Ree," Killa continues her adventures, this time off Ballybran and on a foreign planet, Optheria. She is tasked with repairing their crystal-powered Organ. She has a set of adventures on a planet that I found fairly indistinguishable from our own.
Killashandra is a strong, interesting main character. I agree with Lars Dahl; I also fell for her "vibrant youth, charm, invulnerability, indefatigable energy, and resourcefulness."
In this novel, Anne McCaffrey returns to her roots as a romance writer. This story is 70% romance novel and 30% sci-fi. Great Sci-Fi makes its readers think about real issues that arise due to a setting that is different than our everyday reality of the present. In Crystal Singer, the issue McCaffrey deals with is memory - do we forget for a reason? Are some memories better off forgotten? If we don't remember events, is that the same as if they never actually happened? What is the impact of living much longer than our peers?
"Killashandra Ree" tackles no big issues. The story meanders, with a romance between Killa and Lars Dahl as the focal point. I struggled to finish this novel in the middle part, which is unusual for an Anne McCaffrey story. Only my love for the character Killashandra got me through these slow parts.
I am looking forward to the third novel of the trilogy - I hope McCaffrey soars back to her usual heights.
(This Kindle edition has numerous typos and spelling errors- the file was not transferred perfectly from the original document - but in most cases I knew the word they were trying to spell.)

As with all Anne McAffrey books this is a fine work. The Crystal Singers are a breed apart, the planet on which they work the crystal from has a deadly secret. One which both lenghten's their lifespans and can destroy them if they stay away to long.....

"Killashandra" is the exciting sequel to Anne McCaffrey's "Crystal Singer." Killashandra Ree,who has become a musical mistress on the dangerous planet Ballybran, must secure a powerful load of crystals. She's kidnapped... and finds a people enslaved. Of course,there's an obligatory romance between Killashandra and her kidnapper Lars Dahl. "Killashandra" is a fun,fast-paced read. It's not as good as its predecessor,but it doesn't fall into the Sequel Syndrome. Fly away!

I read all 3 books in one weekend. I could not put them down. Some of the most imaginative, creative storytelling, but then it is Anne McCaffrey. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys fantasy with a touch of wonder. All of Anne McCaffrey's series are enjoyable, this series takes second place only to "The Rowan" series of books.
