ACORNA'S TRIUMPH

Just when everything seems to be restored to its proper place and life should be grand for Acorna, something seems amiss. Can it be that she doesn't know her life partner, Aari, as well as she thought she did, or is something else going on that she can't quite put her finger on? Anna Fields's narration picks up easily where the last book of the series left off, once again giving voice to a range of familiar, as well as new, characters. Her narrative voice stays in the background as the diverse and well-developed characters take center stage and grow in their relationships. Fields finds a good pace for this compact story, which easily stands on its own for those new to the series. J.E.M. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 04]
