I had actually raed the book that came after this one a few years ago so I knew all along that the situation with Aarri wouldnt get resolved. It was ok and like most Anne Mac books i read it really quickly....something about her writing style i can just consume her books in no time at all (only other author i feel the same way about is an aussie author - Traci Harding).
Anyways it was kind of interesting to learn about Acornas peoples past a bit more, and i just love the android Mac, but other th...more

I had hoped that the different second author would make a difference because I liked other books this pair had written. Really though, these books didn't get better (or worse, really). The characters are caricatures. The real problem (I realized as I lay in bed wondering why these were irritating me) is that the "adult" characters are extremely childish and the children are way more adult that they are. It bothers me.

I was fairly disappointed with this story. There was a fascinating plot, poorly executed, and one had to have read the earlier books in order to understand the characters and their motives. Perhaps I should have quit with the previous one, but I've got the next two checked out so I'll just plow on. There was a cliffhanger ending and I want to find out what has become of Acorna's lifemate.
The heroic story of Acorna touched my heart. Her saga is a fantastic sci-fi journey in another galaxy, but the writing of the places and times makes them seem so real and even comfortable. Fantastic read for any sci-fi fan.
Finished. I only got to page 37, and I put it in the "take back to library" pile. I'm pretty much done with this series; most of that seems to be because of the author. I'm just done with her.
Read prior to 2010
Awesome
I just finished this book. I could not put it down, except for a very few times just to rest my eyes. The Linyarri fate is plunged into a crazy realm of time travel, wonder, and distress as all that is known is wrenched away from all the Linyarri characters we know and love. I cannot believe the state in which Acorna was left. I cannot wait to start the next book where there will hopefully be a complete and happily instated resolution.

I fell down the rabbit hole. What the hell just happened? Now we find out about Kubiilikaan? As a side note, where the hell does she come up with some of these names? Once again the rug is ripped out from under me. Alien scientist? Really? WTH. I do like this Host city though. I want to see it. The descriptions are so clear I wonder how Ms. McCaffrey comes up with all these devices and cool technology.
A book that you'd get lost in unless you've read the rest of the series.
When people start disappearing as they explore their destroyed world to prepare for terraforming, people start disappearing and when they start looking they discover an underground city.
Readable but not impressive. It wasn't a book that would urge me to continue reading the series.

this book was really good and when i finished it, i was really surprized at what happened because she found the lost city of freedom and there she found a whole bunch of people and when she basically saved them except for a few that had died brfore she had got there
I was somewhat disappointed when McCaffrey came out with several books in this series. This first installment contained some interesting elements, but the whole thing became extremely drawn out.

Much better than the previous, took a step down on the over explained past of the characters. I actually was intrigued by the plot this time instead of just trudging through it.
how acorna searches through the universe for someone of her own kind,trying to find out where she comes from acorna learns to learn that she is not unique in the world
I honestly don't remember much about this book, but I'm sure I liked it at the time. Fun light reading for even the non-science fiction fans.
Good.
