The Acorna series was one of my first sci-fi series I've ever read. Love McCaffrey, but her Pern series reads more as fantasy than sci-fi. I just have a thing for a strong fmc who was abandoned as a child lol.

2/5 ⭐
I wondered why I never ate up this series when I was young (unicorn girl, an author i like, sci-fi) and now I know! Does the the 'silly females' bs a lot. I would have preferred if they had written from Acorna's perspective more or not at all.

I owned about 35 Anne McMcaffery books as a teen and only maybe 10 of them were not from Pern lol (Acorna, Crystal Singer, and The Tower and The Hive). 🙈
Enjoy!

I KNOW I was too young for the Acorna series, which were definitely bought for me by well-meaning adults based entirely on the covers.

And even then they made Acorna look like a human with a horn stapled to her head fffsss

fun fact, the book describes her species as having opal horns and horselike features but the art never shows this or… remains consistent lol
