ACORNA: THE UNICORN GIRL

A young unicorn-like human infant is discovered in a survival pod by three independent space miners. Anna Fields, as always, vividly portrays a wide range of characters with great facility. Their distinct personalities are clearly reflected in their speech patterns and inflections. Fields conveys the strong emotion that runs through the book. The deeper modulations are a little murky at times, but Fields's clear articulation still comes through. A sequel, ACORNA'S QUEST, continues the story.
