Old favorite

I've read this book a few times - once fairly recently, I feel like (within a few years) but strangely, never reviewed.



This book is the first one in a three book series written by fantasy power-house author, Anne McCaffee. This is the only series I've read by her, though one of these days I'll read more. 



The series stars Killashandra, and this book sets up the series. McCaffee does a terrific job of letting you get to know Killa, her original home planet, her new home planet, the job of a Crystal Singer, and the multitude of other characters. She does a great job with world building - my favorite - and I could really see this as a movie or tv series. Not a lot happens in this book other than character and world building, but there's just so much to learn about Ballybran & Killa that you never feel like the story isn't moving right along.



My copy of the book did have rather a few grammatical errors - or perhaps the English language has just changed that much in 40 years, but I was surprised at some of the wonky sentence structures. 



Quick read, looking forward to rereading the rest of the series.
