Summary: Acorna's People
Review: I wasn't impressed with the second book Acorna's Quest, so I didn't plan on reading this, but I did and I was surprised. It's actually very good, much better then I thought. In this book you learn much more of the back ground of the Linyyari, and their home world and how they are related to the mythical unicorns. I think it's very realistic in a way. The way the others act towards Acorna, the way she feels and how she is accepted. They don't just take her in with loving arms. A good end to a Tilogy, but the end does leave many things unfinished and thats annoying.

Summary: Best so far!
Review: The Acorna series has grown from a curious, uninformed buy to my favorite Anne McCaffrey-collaboration series. I was instantly charmed by the young girl who they called "Acorna" in the first book, and after I had finished that book, waited for the sequel which had been promised. I soaked that one up, finding it to be even better than the first. I realized there were a few loose ends at the end of Acorna's Quest, but thought little of it. When I first saw an advertisement for Acorna's People, therefore, I literally cheered out loud!

Acorna's People did not let me down. From the beautiful cover (the first to actually get Acorna's features somewhat right, as well as the first I'd ever seen to use vanilla as the predominant color) to the wonderful typeface, and, oh, the story!

Anne McCaffrey brings out her very best in character creation skills once again, giving us Jonas Becker, a return to the grizzled space miners of the first book, and his delightful sidekick RK (Roadkill), and a deliciously horrible villain, along with a delightful cast of Liinyari to open up an entirely new direction for Acorna - once again.

I have always loved Anne's work, and, though I had not yet read her Scarborough collaboration, the Paytabe series, I am quite pleased with Elisabeth's contributions, which are admittably harder to spot than Margret Ball's in the first two novels - A tribute to their ability to work as a team. I won't say that a change of coauthors has done the series good - that wouldn't be fair to margaret, whose wonderful portrayal of Acorna on Kizdet first got me hooked on the series - but I will say a fresh writing style has opened up brand new worlds for Acorna (literally, even), and I eagerly await the next book in the series, already promised us after the next "Pegasus" novel.

Summary: Not as good as the first two but believable.
Review: This continues the saga of the unicorn girl. It is on the edge of believability and very entertaining. I enjoyed the book and will buy the next one, but I will wait for the paperback.

Summary: New co-author, but still the same McCaffrey
Review: This third novel in the Acorna series has seen a change in co-author, but the storyline is as strong as it was in Acorna, and improves on Acorna's Quest. Acorna has finally been reunited with her own race, and she has made some startling discoveries about them, including the fact that they come in different colours!!. As with other books by McCaffrey, three main storylines come rushing towards a dramatic climax that will take you on a ride that leaves you breathless and fully sated. There is room for another novel easily, as Acorna and her chosen male companion head off into the stars with two new friends who are as unique as Acorna's collection of Uncle's from the first two novels. Plenty of old friends abound in this novel, but Scarborough and McCaffrey have introduced new friends that will no doubt appear in future Acorna novels by this compelling team of authors.

Summary: Not their best work...
Review: Unlike previous McCaffrey works, including the other two Acorna books, this book was not worth the time it took to read it. It is incredibly slow moving, with no definite plot pattern. For most of the book the reader waits and waits for something of interest to happen, until about the ten last pages, where the plot abruptly folds in on itself in a very quick and unsatisfing ending. It is almost as if the authors just got sick of writing. In addition to being boring, the action is confusing and difficult to follow. I can only hope that the next book in the series can make up for this poor excuse for entertaining literature.

Summary: A wonderful ending to the ACORNA Trillogy
Review: What author is more beloved in the Sci-fi realm than the great McCaffrey? Who else could have written the Dragon Riders of Pern Saga? Who else could have captured our hearts and imagination over a space farer caled Acorna? Anne McCaffrey did an excelent job ending the Acorna Story in the traditional fashon of suspense, humor, action, and joy. When Acorna is thrust back into the hands of her species, she has to overcome her differences. The only way to gain trust and respect in her peoples community is to show her tallents. Will her tallents be enough against the worst enemey ever to face the peace loving Linyaari race since the Khleevi. These creatures are hateful, self-absorbed, and highly materialistic. The wish to put an end the Linyaari at any and all costs, can Acorna save her people?
