Summary: A Wonderful Escape from Reality.
Review: In the first book of the series, we meet Acorna and come to know both her and her situation, which began something like this...
When three asteroid miners were just beginning one of their long collection terms, they discovered an escape pod floating in space. Calum, Gill, and Rafik had no idea what lay inside, and were surprised to find a humanoid occupant. She wasn't human, though, the hooves, and single horn protruding from her forehead proved that. Acorna, as the miners took to calling their new ward, was a very special creature indeed.
The horn gave Acorna abilities that human mythology is fraught with. She could purify air, water, and even heal grievous wounds. She also grew from an infant to the equivalent of an adolescent girl in one year, with a maturity and intelligence that constantly surprised her guardians. These three gruff single men came to love Acorna as if she were their own, and together they saved the planet Kezdet from the mysterious "Piper," and set the enslaved children free.
In this second instalment, Acorna has been plagued with dreams of finding her own people, and quite understandably wants to know where she is from and what she was doing floating through space on her own as an infant.
Calum, Gill, and Rafik are torn between their desire to protect Acorna, and that of helping her to find her people. While Calum and Acorna plot out the most likely course and prepare themselves to journey off and find her people, everyone else is reluctant to allow them to leave. Delay after delay is keeping their space ship docked, and the pair have had enough - they leave as they are.
Naturally, as soon as the pair leave orbit a strange ship arrives. The occupants are the Linyaari, Acorna's people. They are traveling the galaxy warning other life forms of the deadly and violent Khleev who demolish everything they come across. Acorna cannot be reached, and the race to save humanity is joined by the need to find Acorna.
Acorna has her hands full trying to save a planet from a horrible wrongdoing, and a ship full of Starfarer's children who have been boarded and held hostage by some very devious criminals from another planet. Acorna has no idea that her dream of being reunited with her own kind could become a reality, and much sooner than she would have expected.
As in the first book of the series, this was a wonderful escape from reality, with enough fantasy elements blended with the science fiction to keep any reader content. The story is strong, the characters memorable and very appealing. I am looking forward to the next title in the series, and wondering what could possibly be facing Acorna this time.

Summary: Nice touch -needs just a little more
Review: It was so hard to start it. I even set it down for like a mouth, but if you past the first 90 such pages it gets really interesting. It's definetly long enough and that's fine, but the story will be really good and then really boring and then realy good exc.., but I'm still looking forward to Acronas people. One last thing is that it left me with a different feeling. In Acrona it left the ending open. There were so many possibilets. At the end of this one it ended the story-it could stop and never go on again because I know what her future. I loved the cover and the book over all though.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: The sequel to Acorna! She is now a young adult. She and Calum are desperately searching for other's of Acorna's race. In their search, they come across a planet who had just been attacked by the Starfarers. The once beautiful planet is now half desert and half flooded. Of course they are sucked into the battle to help and then heal. At the same time, Acorna's race, called the Linyaari, are spreading out to warn other races of a species whose soul purpose is to torture and destroy. That species is called the Khleev and they are headed toward humans! When the Linyaari find out Acorna, who was thought dead, is alive, the search is on! ***I've been searching for the sequel to Acorna and hoping it would be as good. IT IS! I highly recommend Acorna and Acorna's Quest.***

Summary: Light and fun
Review: This Acorna story is not as good as the first, but it is entertaining and fun. I would certainly not recommend fans to avoid it (especially younger readers), but I found the subplot to be tedious. The story switches between Acorna's story and a secondary story, chapter by chapter. (I actually didn't read much of the subplot - I found it so dull that I skipped those chapters and rather enjoyed the rest of the story! I'm giving this book 3 stars because I understood the Acorna story while only reading every other chapter.)

Summary: Well worth the tme to read.
Review: This book allows a full development of reality from the original book. I liked it and think it is a good addition to the series. Buy it and see for yourself.
Rating:
Summary: Just as good as the original.
Review: This book was very good, and please, please write a sequel!Acorna and Calum go in search of her race and they are confronted with an evil invader. It may sound boring but was actually pretty exciting. Make sure you read Acorna the Unicorn Girl before this otherwise it will make no sense at all.

Summary: This book, while OK, had very little literary value.
Review: This book, in my opionion, stunk. I usually love fantasy and sci-fi, but this was awful. The plot was horrible, deus ex machina abounded, and Karina? Puh-leez. Don't get me wrong, the characters were well developed and quite interesting, but this does not live up to Anne McCaffry's usual standerds and 'Acorna'. And, no, I am not a teacher, or a proffessor, I am a 15-year-old sophmore.
