by Anne McCaffrey
So this is the first book I have read for my How Have I Not Read You Yet challenge. Before I start with the review proper I have to give a shout out to the cover art. it is gorgeous! The Blues & Greens dominate and that picture of the Rowan on the front does a good job of translating the descrip...
Audiobook2-1/2 stars.What I liked about this book? I especially enjoyed the whiny heroine having fits all over the place. NOT!That's one of the reasons for this low rating. The mind meld stuff was so boring to me but that might have to do with it not being easily transferable to audiobook. I'll let ...
I used to love this series when I was younger and it did stand up to re-reading for me. The Talents are spread out over the Nine Star League using their psionic abilitiies to help things along. Among these abilities there's a lot of variety and power, but there are very few high-powered telepaths,...
Oh dear, what happened here? For the first third of the book, I was so immensely impressed at what a deep and multi-faceted character McCaffrey had created.

This was the first book I ever read by Anne Mccaffrey. And I was hooked from the very beginning! A great science fiction with just a touch of romance. The series focuses heavily on telepathy, and psychokinesis. Those that have these abilities are known as Talents. Rowan is one such person. The...
I thoroughly enjoyed re-reading The Rowan. Anne McCaffrey just writes strong and interesting characters, especially female leads.
The Rowan is an orphaned girl with incredible psychic power and a cute little psychic pet. Oh the pain she suffers from being an orphan! Oh the oppression of being so powerful! Oh the agony of no one understanding your Speshulness!
When I first read this book I was blown away. I loved it and I re-read this over and over again. I loved the Rowan. She was amazing. I liked her power and her loneliness with isolation was sad. Even though this is a FT&T story, I felt it was more romance. I would classify this as a young adult...
Ugh.I am so annoyed I wasted a whole day on this book. But, I am even more annoyed that is was voted the book of the month under Women in Sci-Fi. This is space romance. Telekinesis and TElepathy joined in one person, albeit on a space station, does not Science Fiction make, even if there is an alie...
