Format:Mass Market Paperback
The Crystal Singer series is a must read for anyone who loves imagining what the distant future might bring. The author creates fantasy future worlds that are so very believable - I feel I have been to the places she describes.
The additional treat is the characterizations - Anne McCaffery is a genius when it comes to creating strong characters with a variety of interesting traits.
Put these two things together and you end up with the very best of storytelling. The only complaint I have is that there's not an unending supply of this series!
One important note: I highly recommend that you read these books in order. (Crystal Singer, Killashanra, Crystal Line)

I've read this book so many times the pages are falling out! I had to order a new copy. I read this book at a very young age (early teens) and I just loved it. The characters are colourful, the concept is original, and it's an exciting book that keeps me coming back to it. I've never re-read a book as often as I've read this one. It is quite different from Anne McCaffery's Pern books, but it's every bit as good. I recommend this book to all of her fans :)

I was given this book by a friend during summer break from college. I was desperate for something to read, and even though I didn't think I liked science fiction, I decided to read it. Thus began a life long love of science fiction and more notably, Anne McCaffrey, possibly the greatest (and most prolific) writer on the planet. The universe she creates in Crystal Singer is like those in all her books... not a perfect place to live, but certainly a bright light for the future of mankind. And also like most Anne books, the main character is a strong, vibrant, woman who has overcome adversities and made a wonderful life for herself. And although the book is not overly scientific, she always has enough interesting scientific concepts to make it a fun read. If you've never read an Anne McCaffrey book, buy one and enter the world of Anne. You won't be sorry.

One of Anne McCaffrey's best
The Crystal Singer Trilogy is probably my favorite non-Pern adventure by Anne McCaffrey. I highly recommend it to readers of David Eddings, Mercedes Lackey and Guy Gavriel Kay, as... Read more

Absolutely top sci-fi and one of my top ten favorites
Anne McCaffrey first wrote about Killashandra in a serialized short story. She expanded the story in Crystal Singer,which is the first of a trilogy of novels. Read more

Almost Perfect
What led me to this book as a review which linked it to the Harper Trilogy. In retrospect that was misleading. Read more

The Lure of Crystal...
My first encounter with Anne McCaffrey may very well be the best. "Crystal Singer" is an engrossing book, with a very headstrong and admirable female character. Read more

Great Book.
This is a great book. One of my favorites. It's a switch from dragons but the main character is well presented and the reader really becomes involved in her outcome. Read more

The Worst Book in the World
If I could give this book zero stars, I would. Believe me. Crystal Singer is filled with an anti-climatic plot, one dimensional characters, and predictability. Read more

One of McCaffrey's Best
