I see this book and the last two getting a lot of flack for Killa being "too melodramtic." I don't disagree that she is dramtic, but it makes her character interesting, in the same way Blanche from "Streetcar Named Desire" or Scarlett from "Gone with the Wind" are interesting. Killa had to be a vibrant, passionate character or else the loss of her personality over the last century, the loss of her memories and her mind, wouldn't be such a tragedy. She is a strong, independent, passionate, dramatic, sometimes silly, talented woman, who makes us feel for her losses even more than she becomes capable of feeling. I love the lost sense of time in this book, where there would be missing decades between pages because Killa couldn't remember them. Don't expect classic literature here, but it is a fun read. Especially if you liked the first one. ( ) Anne McCaffrey was the first female fantasy/sci fi writer I ever read and as such she holds a special place in my heart. Her books are always wonderful, well written, and perfectly characterized. All of her series are great but I especially like the Crystal Singer series because of its action and clever look at the near future. Although I gave it 5 stars , this is the weakest of the Killashandra books in my humble opinion. My biggest complaint about the storyline is that the end ties things up too well. Without giving away things with a spoiler, it seems like ,Mccaffrey sets things up for another book that was never written. Her editor must have had a publishing deadline. But be that as it may, Killashandra won't disappoint you. She is still her feisty self. When Killashandra Ree joined the mysterious Heptite Guild, she knew that she would be forever changed. Crystal singing brought ecstasy and pain, near-eternal life . . . and gradual loss of memory. What she hadn’t counted on was the loneliness she felt when her heart still remembered what her mind had forgotten. Fortunately, someone still cared enough to try to salvage what was left of Killashandra’s mind. But she would have to learn to open herself—to another person, and to all her unpleasant memories.
On retrouve avec plaisir Killashandra et Lars Dahl, mais la série s'essoufle un peu sur cet opus, beaucoup plus métaphysique que les précédents. Sans sa mémoire, Killa est moins attachante, et les années qui ont passé amènent une certaine mélancolie. Décidément, pas facile d'être chanteur-crystal ! Est contenu dansEst en version abrégée dans

HTML:Crystal had destroyed Killashandra’s memory, and only crystal could restore it—if she dared! When Killashandra Ree joined the mysterious Heptite Guild, she knew that she would be forever changed. Crystal singing brought ecstasy and pain, near-eternal life . . . and gradual loss of memory. What she hadn’t counted on was the loneliness she felt when her heart still remembered what her mind had forgotten. Fortunately, someone still cared enough to try to salvage what was left of Killashandra’s mind. But she would have to learn to open herself—to another person, and to all her unpleasant memories. “A treat for long-time McCaffrey fans, a good read and a satisfying look at one of the most haunting facets of the crystal singers’ profession.”—Locus .
