Summary: Excellent read, even if you have not read the first book
Review: A wonderful story, it captures you and I just had to read it whenever I could, on the tram, on the toilet, any moment I could. I loved it, and hope you will too!! Acorna is the sort of alien we hope we might meet one day for real. She is different yet we can identify with her feelings when she is looking for her kin.

Summary: Anlother special work
Review: Acorna is now a young adult, who desperately needs questions answered about her heritage and who her people are. Years ago, three asteroid miners found the infant Acorna floating through space in an escape pod. Knowing her horn would make her the abject study of science and government, they safely hid her safety while her unique, special powers evolved. Acorna knows it is time to break out in search of her ancestry. Accompanied by one of the prospectors who raised her, she begins her journey across the universe. However, her trek is temporarily aborted when her ship malfunctions, forcing her to land on Rushima, where people are being starved to death by a dastardly group of Starfarers. Even as Acorna is caught up in the plight of Rushima, a strange people with telepathic powers have suddenly appeared in the sector. The Linyaari have come to raise the alarm concerning vicious invaders who are wrecking havoc throughout the galaxy while also seeking the wher! eabouts of a missing person who was lost as an infant several years ago. The second novel in the Acorna series will intrigue die hard McCaffrey fans and readers who enjoy a clear cut good vs. evil science fiction story line. Many other readers will be turned off by the lack of subtlety that make up the various races, who easily can be classified as good or evil. Though the story line is a bit flimsy, there is the usual Anne McCaffrey trademark of plenty of action and easily identifiable races. Ms. McCaffrey and co-author Margaret Ball have a good series that needs more shades of gray to turn it into a complex, great series. Harriet Klausner

Summary: A bit dissapointing but overall a great read!
Review: Acorna's Quest is a fabulous read! It's full of excitement and suspence. When Acorna and her "uncle" Calum go on the adventure of their lives to find Acorna's people they end up in more trouble they dreamed possible. Captured by space pirates, tormented by angry "dirtside" farmers and getting caught in the middle of a war keeps this book suspenseful and most entertaining. Acorna's character is even better developed and improved upon. The book is a little slow at times however and I was dissapointed how quickly Acorna dumped Pal Kendero and of how little romance there was. I give this book 4 stars and reccomend it to all fantasy mavens.

Summary: Markel Illart is my hero!
Review: Acorna's Quest reminds me of Star Wars: Episode 1... It wasn't exactly deep, but it was a fun story. A summer day, nothing to do? Pick up this book. It's not great, but it is pretty good. Acorna showed more personality in the first book, and the other unicorn people were simply two-dimensional snobs. I loved the second chapter... Markel Illart, the brilliant 16-year-old space cadet, was resolutely heroic and I found the newly introduced subplot engaging. He was slighted and pushed into the background for the rest of the tale, though. The boy deserved a LOT more character development. Markel is too fascinating to let go; he could've starred in a sci-fi novel all by himself. I like to imagine him wearing a Jedi master costume. Yeah... Markel is cool. I'll bet Starship Captain Andreziana made him an officer.

Summary: Promising start, disappointing ending.
Review: Although "Acorna's Quest" began right in the thick of things as is McCaffrey's trademark, I feel that this book would have served better as a short story rather than a novel. The plot led me to expect a grand clash with the Khleev, but when it finally happened, we were treated with a kind of bystander POV with little commentary. I expected more out of this sequel.

Summary: A very good read
Review: Here it is, the second installment of the life and times of Acorna. A reccomendation is that you get and read the first story before reading this one. There are alot of characters and each has a wealth of background and personna to keep up with. For readers famillier with the first story the ending may not be what you want, but it is good none the less. Get these books, you'll like them. My only complaint with the entire series sofar is with the cover art by John Ennis, in which his illustration of Acorna is a bit lacking with regards to her description in the books. Guess I'll just have to illustrate her myself :) Take care.

Summary: Another Anne McCaffrey Miracle
Review: I have read her Pern series over and over again, and every time i do they get better! This book is the same way. Every time i read it, it gets better! Anne McCaffrey has done it again!
Rating:
Summary: better than prequel, still pales to precursors
Review: I liked the first book in this series, but only insomuch as one can like a book with shallow characters and an iffy plot. The sequel, I thought was better written and had more on McCaffrey's usual subjects of alien races and confrontations with them. The Khleev encounter, however was not very momentous, and seemed not to be the main point of the story. I hope more will be written about them soon. Don't just leave us haning here!:)

Review: I thought "Acorna's Quest" was cool in the second chapter I had more trouble folowing how Markel fit in but it was a good book and I to thought that that Acorna's People where some what snoby and through the way they thought of every body else Barbarians . But over all the book was good . I cant wait for " Acorna's People" to come out .

Summary: This is the best book you will EVER LAY EYES ON!!!
Review: In Acorna The Unicorn girl, Acorna is a baby, found by her'uncles' Calum, Gill, and Rafik. They noticed the young foundling hadonly two jointed fingers and oddly shaped feet, along with a small horn in the middle of her head. She was able to heal people, and purify plants and water. In 'Acorna's Quest', Acorna is now an adult with her species, and Acorna and Calum, the mathemetician of the three miners, are setting off to find Acorna's home planet. Almost directly after Acorna and Calum leave, four of Acorna's people, one of them being her aunt, arrive at Maganos Moon base, Acorna's home! The Linyaari, as they call themselves, speak with Acorna's caretakers and tell them of a horrible enemy, the Kleevi, which are hurtling towards this sector of space. The Kleevi have captured and tortured so many Linyaari in the years preceding. The Linyaari are also searching for a young one of their race that they lost long ago. Will Acorna meet with her ancestors? Will the Kleevi reach Acorna and Calum before Rafik, Gill and the Linyaari can? Find out in 'Acorna's Quest'. This book has beautiful writing style, seamless plot, and although it is sci-fi/fantasy, it doesn't have so much scientific garbish that you can't understand. The charming Linyaari, and Acorna's tearful departure to come make waiting to read the next book as torturful as the Kleevi could ever be!
