Summary: The third in the Crystal Trilogy --sci fi at its very best
Comment: Killashandra, Crystal Singer, returns for a third novel in the Crystal Series. I recommend you read these in order as the events in the first two lead up to this novel.
Killashandra is now a mature Crystal Singer. She enjoys the benefits of life on Ballybran as one of the rare and valuable miners of Crystal. The career of a Singer brings wealth, long life and a certain cachet in the Galaxy. But it comes at a heavy price; loss of memory and thus an inability to maintain any meaningful relationships. Singers are encouraged to document their lives with a recorded journal so they can pick up the pieces of their personality and not become shallow and venal.
Killashandra and Lars Dahl, her new-found love from the previous novel, face new challenges for the Heptite Guild. But their relationship is threatened by forces behind the scenes. Is Lars working for or against Killashandra?
This is a fine conclusion to the two previous novels and one of my favorite series.

Summary: hmm...
Comment: i have a hard time giving an anne mccaffrey book such a low rating as two stars, as she is one of my all-time favorite writers, but this one just didn't do it for me. i loved the first two books of the trilogy, but something about this one was a bit too far-fetched. i know that sf is not necessarily supposed to coincide with reality, but it has to at least be believable, and the whole deal with killa miraculously recovering all her memories just didn't sit right with me - it was too pat and perfect. like i said, i loved the first two books of the trilogy, and the world of ballybran is fascinating (who wouldn't be intrigued by the idea of an entire mountain range singing harmonies at you? ), but my recommendation is to stop reading after the second book.

Summary: A fine end to a great serise
Comment: Killasandra and the love of her life, Lars, have both become experienced crystal singers. They enjoy all the perks of the job, lots of credit and long life, but they also suffer the draw backs, loss of memory. But, while Lars wants to remember the past, Killasandra doesn't care. This will eventually come between them.
This book is a fine end to the serise, even though we do see, or atleast realise, that many of the origanl minor characters have died. It also finaly confermes the hints we got in the other to books that the series is set in te same universe as the brainship serise (eg Helva)
The end part of the book made me cry because Killasandra forgets Lars and just when she remembers what they had it looks like she has lost him forever.
This book is a must!
