Customer Reviews

Very disappointing
I have been a fan of McCaffrey for over 20 years, and I'm sorry to say that I'm very disappointed by this. It is billed on the cover as the final episode of Acorna's adventures, yet it leaves you hanging at the end with a promise of "Acorna's Children" to come. The storyline is reasonably sound, but the style is poor- the standard of grammar and use of sentences annoyed me at times. If you love Acorna, then you must read this because it promises more to come, but if you've not read any of McCaffrey's previous works, it's not a good introduction.
