A great sequal!

Well, I read the first one long before this one came out. By the way, the first one's a wonderful story as well. When I heard there was another one I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! I've read them both over and over. Each time I still enjoyed the plots and characters just as much as the first time. Pretty soon I'll have them memorized. :0}

This is the best book you will EVER LAY EYES ON!!!

In Acorna The Unicorn girl, Acorna is a baby, found by her'uncles' Calum, Gill, and Rafik. They noticed the young foundling hadonly two jointed fingers and oddly shaped feet, along with a small horn in the middle of her head. She was able to heal people, and purify plants and water. In 'Acorna's Quest', Acorna is now an adult with her species, and Acorna and Calum, the mathemetician of the three miners, are setting off to find Acorna's home planet. Almost directly after Acorna and Calum leave, four of Acorna's people, one of them being her aunt, arrive at Maganos Moon base, Acorna's home! The Linyaari, as they call themselves, speak with Acorna's caretakers and tell them of a horrible enemy, the Kleevi, which are hurtling towards this sector of space. The Kleevi have captured and tortured so many Linyaari in the years preceding. The Linyaari are also searching for a young one of their race that they lost long ago. Will Acorna meet with her ancestors? Will the Kleevi reach Acorna and Calum before Rafik, Gill and the Linyaari can? Find out in 'Acorna's Quest'. This book has beautiful writing style, seamless plot, and although it is sci-fi/fantasy, it doesn't have so much scientific garbish that you can't understand. The charming Linyaari, and Acorna's tearful departure to come make waiting to read the next book as torturful as the Kleevi could ever be!

Wonderful!

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.***

Just as good as the original.

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.

Another Anne McCaffrey Miracle

I have read her Pern series over and over again, and every time i do they get better! This book is the same way. Every time i read it, it gets better! Anne McCaffrey has done it again!
