Summary: Good, but not as good as the first one...
Review: For some reason, Greeno chose to destroy MOST of the main characters -- almost as if she was worried any book without a lot of senseless deaths would be unprintable...The Ghatti are also relatively absent for much of the book, which I found a great disappointment.The plot and characterization are otherwise brilliant... It was nice to see Greeno decide to treat the "Gleaners" a little more rationally in this volume than she did in the first. The only problems really occur where Greeno evidently "needed" to inject elements that didn't fit in with reality. Still, it's worth the extended read, if only for a historical set-up for the next novels.

Summary: ok after first 250 pages!
Review: hi! im 14, and have read this book. I didnt read the first, but maybe i will. I agreee this book was VERY slow in the beginning. But after about the first 250 pages or so, it got better. I think I might read the third.

Summary: Painfully slow
Review: I enjoyed the first book, Finders-Seekers. The concept of the mind links between the Seekers Veritas and their ghatta bondmates is very interesting.
Compared with the first book, Mind-Speakers' Call was a big disappointment. If you thought Finders-Seekers was slow-paced, don't even start this one. Greeno could have cut at least 100 pages without hurting the story.
I can't imagine why everyone has so much confidence in Doyce, the star Seeker in the story. What did she actually do in this book? Just spend the entire book wallowing in self-pity, and drag Jenret down with her. And what did the ghattis do? They did some long distance communication, and they kept secrets from their bondmates.
I am not sure I will read the third book. If I do, I hope Doyce grows up and stops whining. And I hope we don't get another super-villain who is going destroy the civilization. What I would like to see is the Seekers and Ghattis have an adventure on their truth-seeking circuit. We only got to see one case in the first book and none in the second.

Summary: If you thought you loved the first one, this one will ...
Review: I have just gobbled up the trilogy. The 3rd book leaves enuf loose ends to continue the tale. Lets have a trilogy of trilogies! And I generally don't like science fiction: a friend recommended it so strongly that I had to try the first one.

Summary: The Truth Revealed ...
Review: I thought this book was better than the first, the first got to be a page turner when the ending was near ... and you might need to read the first one to understand this book better ... Doyce can't accept the fact that her stepson, Vesey, was a Gleaner, a mindstealer and more, he was responsible for her friend and lovers death, Oriel. Doyce can't accept it but she has to. Time is running short. The ghatti seek the Truth. Their Bondmates help to find the truth. Disguised problems are happening across the border. Trade is slowing noticably and Doyce is positioned in a group as a recorder. She hasn't mindspoken with her Bondmate, Khar'pern, because of her grief and withdrawal. But she finally mindspeaks to her beloved Bondmate when her mind starts to clear ... The group inculdes Jenret and Rawn. Jenret has been there for her before and they were forced to work together (in the first book) so they have a wary kind of relationship. When the leader of the group dies she is forced to be Special Envoy, the leader of the group. She is opposed to it as much as Aelbert, who believes he should be the leader. But she has no choice and takes the lead. Across the border they find that things aren't as they seem. Someone wants to rule the court, now that the Queen has died and not left an heir, and wants the ghatti along with their Bondmates out of the way because the ghatti seek truth and truth would be unfortunate for the person who wants to rule. Romance, or what the others think of as romance, sparks fly between Arras (a protector of the throne) and Doyce. Jenret's emotions become more clear now that jealousy has began to flow through his thoughts. The complications are more intricate and delicate then they had realized and soon they find themselves caught in what they didn't want, Danger. They came to open the trade between the borders and find themselves seeking the truth for the rightful heir of the throne. Danger lurks where they least expect it and death is chasing them. If they slow down it will swallow them up and then what? Will Doyce be ready for the truth when it's revealed? After what she had to go through will she be strong enough to deal with the new problems and unwanted discoveries about others ... and herself? Jenret's jealousy heightens ... will he speak up or will his love go forever silenced? A great book, full of mystery and adventure, along with romance and secrets. Surprises flow with the pages ... hints of something and then your own conclusion ... when it's cleared it may not be what you thought.

Summary: Much better than the first in the series!
Review: I thought this book was much better than her previous one. I found it easier to get into and the characters have really grown on me. Looking forward to reading the next one.
