about hyper privileged aristocrats who are spoilt, moody, confident of their skills and power and who never interact with the This is silly, this book isn t about Damia, it s about Afra Which is

deeply imaginative world that has all the best bits of a good sci fi telekinesis, telepathy, CATS, aliens, teleportation, CATS, and just enough romance and sex to mature...So Continuing with the re

talents In the case of the third child not very well, at first Her two older siblings had this weird sibling bond and they tended to leave her out of their games So her mother had the bright idea of having another baby, except she d been pregnant too much in too short a time, and developed gestational diabetes, and they had to pack the kids off to a different planet to live with extended family.To sum up really weird relationship dynamics The first part of the book is a reverse angle story it s many of the events of The Rowan from the point of view of Afr...One word Logical Words like

you haven t read the first like me then don t worry about this one yet I felt like I was missing most things to fill in the gaps and was winging a fair bit to try and piece the story together I think if I d read the previous text first, this one would have flowed better but that smy fault The author chose not to enable readers like me and instead insists o...Guilty pleasure reading You know it is when you open the book and the inside of the cover is coated in unicorn stickers that you put there when you were eleven.If I were reading it for the first time now, at the age of coughcough , I

issue It should probably be called Afra too, but that s something else I do love the problems of dealing with Talented and gifted childrenI m so glad I decided to revisit the series it s so fun This is the story of Damia, Rowan s daughter, Afra, Rowan s assistant friend who is so muchto this story than hinted at in the first book This story has so many great ups downs that make me smile, laugh, cry all in their t...This review is for the audiobook I have been reading McCaffrey series including The Tower and Hive since a teenager so I have read them a number of times Having the audiobook narration has been excellent Listening instead of reading made for a refreshing telling.Not my favorite of the Pegasus, and Tower and the Hive series but still very enjoyable and comfortable Still loving my reread of these series
