This weekend's wander through the bookstore yielded something I haven't
read in a long time, an Anne McCaffery book. As others have mentioned I
read her work when I was younger, enjoyed the Crystal Singer books as a
teenager but wouldn't think of her as one of my favourtie authors, and I'm
not into fantasy generally, so have avoided the dragon books.
I have to say I really enjoyed Freedom's Landing, and I think there's a
sequel which I'll go looking for this week. The lead female character was
strong, resourceful, three dimensional, and very believable. I liked the
aliens as well, and the complexity of social interactions. The mystery of
the planet Botany unfolds well, and kept me reading late into the night.
I certainly look forward to the second one.
has anyone else read this? I'm interested to know what you thought.
Robin.
