Flight in Yiktor

Rating:
Summary: interesting sequel
Review: "Flight in Yiktor" is the third in the Moon Singer series, coming after "Moon of Three Rings" and "Exiles of the Stars." The fourth book is "Dare to Go A-Hunting."

The first two books are excellent, told from the point of view of a spaceman named Krip and an alien named Maelen. "Flight in Yiktor" continues their story, but it's told from the perspective of a new character, Farree, a deformed alien who can't remember how he ended up in a slum on a planet that is not his home. Krip and Maelen rescue Farree and take him aboard their starship as they return to Maelen's home planet, Yiktor, with villains in hot pursuit.

This book was not quite as strong as the first two, but I recommend it, because it's an exciting adventure that tells us quite a bit more about Krip and Maelen. Farree is an appealing character, although perhaps not as interesting as Krip and Maelen. Unfortunately, the artwork on the cover of the book reveals the big secret about his deformity, which should have been a surprise near the end of the story. Farree's story concludes in "Dare to Go A-Hunting."

Summary: Very well written
Review: Andre Norton is one of my favorite authors,so when I saw this book I had to get it.At first it's a little slow but you get drawn into the story very quickly.

Summary: Am I Missing Something Here?
Review: Maybe it's because I haven't read Moon of Three Rings, but this book didn't appeal to me at all. This is the first Andre Norton book I ever read, and I wasn't very impressed. It all focuses on the main character's low self esteem. It's boring. It reminds me of Moon Called, just not as bad. The characters are great, and so are the descriptions. But the dialogue is too formal, and the plot is dull.

Summary: great follow up!
Review: Moon of Three Rings was great. But Flight in Yiktor took it futher! If you read one, you MUST read the other. The Thassa of Yiktor are, in my opinion, alive today on Earth. They're the Witches of today. Moon Singers, and Shamans...not a race apart, but people with special insight into the hearts of man/woman. Andre Norton is one of the great SF/Fantasy writers of all time. "Flight in Yiktor", proves it once again! (Notice I didn't talk about the character "Farree". You read "Flight in Yiktor" and you'll know what I'm talking about! Great book!

Summary: This is a gread read
Review: While this doesn't hold me as much as some of her others have, it is still a very good book. Ms. Norton is one of the best authors in the genre and this book is typical of her work. If you haven't read it, find a copy and do so.
