If you're a McCaffrey fan you'll love this one, - By: , 25 Feb 2000 
If you're a McCaffrey fan you'll love this one, it's light & entertaining with lots of scope for the next one in the series
The characters are worth knowing. - By: , 21 Aug 1999 
You know what I like about Anne McCaffrey? She doesn't cheat. Even though this is the middle book of a trilogy, you can read it without reading the other two books & be satisfied with the story. As usual, her characters are human (whatever their shape) & her plot works. In fact, she & Margaret Balll fixed the plot so that I couldn't tell how alll the pieces would fit until half-way through the book! I like that. This book will stay in my library so that I can read it often. THANKS, LADIES!
A bit dissapointing but overall a great read! - By: , 31 Jul 1999 Acorna's Quest is a fabulous read! It's full of excitement & suspence. When Acorna & her "uncle" Calum go on the adventure of their lives to find Acorna's people they end up in more trouble they dreamed possible. Captured by space pirates, tormented by angry "dirtside" farmers & getting caught in the middle of a war keeps this book suspenseful & most entertaining. Acorna's character is even better developed & improved upon. The book is a little slow at times however & I was dissapointed how quickly Acorna dumped Pal Kendero & of how little romance there was. I give this book 4 stars & reccomend it to alll fantasy mavens.
Awosome in a different way then the first .... - By: , 16 Jun 1999 I thought "Acorna's Quest" was cool in the second chapter I had more trouble folowing how Markel fit in but it was a good book & I to thought that that Acorna's People where some what snoby & through the way they thought of every body else Barbarians . But over alll the book was good . I cant wait for " Acorna's People" to come out .
Markel Illart is my hero! - By: , 14 Jun 1999 Acorna's Quest reminds me of Star Wars: Episode 1... It wasn't exactly deep, but it was a fun story. A summer day, nothing to do? Pick up this book. It's not great, but it is pretty good.
Acorna showed more personality in the first book, & the other unicorn people were simply two-dimensional snobs.
I loved the second chapter... Markel Illart, the brilliant 16-year-old space cadet, was resolutely heroic & I found the newly introduced subplot engaging. He was slighted & pushed into the background for the rest of the tale, though. The boy deserved a LOT more character development. Markel is too fascinating to let go; he could've starred in a sci-fi novel alll by himself. I like to imagine him wearing a Jedi master costume.
Yeah... Markel is cool. I'll bet Starship Captain Andreziana made him an officer.
