I truly loved Anne McCaffrey's 2nd book in the Rowan series "Damia". The indepth details and the look into the past of Afra and Damia was wonderful. You saw things from both perspectives. The twists and turns of the emotions were unbelieveable and kept you on the edge of your emotional plain. I found myself crying and upset sometimes at the way things played out but it made the end seem that much more pleasant. Truly a work of art by AM. I found the life of Damia, the Rowan's daughter truly unexpected and full of twists unlike her mothers. I highly reccomend the interspace thriller if you like to see a few surprises. I'd tell more but I don't want to ruin the experience. Enjoy!
Damia could be a biography. Were it not for the fact that it is the sequel to one of Anne Mccaffrey's most popular science-fiction books Damia could very well be about a real person in another time. Damia is that real. The reader is instantly captivated: Damia's little adventures when she is little, from innocent things like running around the Callisto Moon Base to getting caught inside a capsule at the worst possible moment draw from the reader everything from humor to even apprehension. As the story matures so does Damia, and her roles become more than that of a mischievious child-she is a heroine, an average woman, and a phenomenon all in one. Anne Mccaffrey was also careful to make sure that while the story centered on Damia, the other characters, some designed to stand on the sidelines until they recieved the spotlight and limelight, developed as well, so the overall impression one gets is of a wonderful tale that is so intricate and rapturous you'd be hard pressed to put the book down. There are more dangers to Damia than a pool and growing up, though-alien species are focusing on her world, and not all have benign intentions. Her wrenching battle with a terrible, malignant mind erodes a great deal of her, more than just her mental powers. Fortunately she eventually emerges, fully recovered, to deal with a new species, one whose intentions are to ally with the Humans and to project both of them into a new era of peace and triumph.I must admit I was rather put-off by the novel when I saw it on the shelf: the Greek Damia ate her children, so I did not look forward to reading the tale, even if it were by Anne Mccaffrey. But when I read the Rowan, and then started on Damia, I realized the instant I opened up the book this is not that Damia: the heroine I read was a brave, compassionate, and human character, and I'm certain you will agree.
I read this series when it first came out in book form and enjoyed them thoroughly. Strong women characters which is a wonderful charateristic of Anne McCaffrey. I enjoyed the Tower and Hive series almost as much as her Pern series (which have to admit is still my favorite). My books are packed away so I cannot get them out and re-read them unfortunately. I have a Kindle and would love to purchase the whole series again - except for one small problem The Rowan isn't available on Kindle! I'd love to know why the rest of the Tower and Hive books are available on Kindle = but the one that started the series (not counting the Pegasus series which I would love to read as well) ISN'T available? - do everyone a favor - when you republish a series in Kindle format at least make sure that all of the books especially the first one is available! So I won't buy the series on Kindle until Rowan is available.....
This is the sequel to The Rowan; it's the second volume of The Tower and the Hive series. The Rowan was a lonely child, orphaned at a very young age. Damia is her third child, and lead an interesting and complicated life, starting even earlier than the Rowan.If you enjoyed The Rowan, this is very good.
I enjoyed listening to this book very much. This book Me on the edge my seat for 11 hours and 33 minutes. And I was very greatly satisfied. I listen to books when I travel and on cold winter evenings when it is too cold to be outside. I very highly recommend this book.
Damia is part of the Rowan series. Beautifully written. Full of details and emotion, but still leaves you feeling good. So many of these futuristic fantasies are dark and disturbing, Ann Mccaffrey knows how to build the story with hope and vision.
No really! It's hard to find books where the sequel is better than the original but each book I pick up in this series is better than the last.Only Anne McCaffrey could manage to make a princess into an underdog as sweetly as this story does. Damia is even deeper than her mother Rowan and even more trapped by her talents. Even with a strong mother, Damia has to struggle to find herself before she can become more than a liability to her talents.A story where a mother does everything right and her daughter still has trouble because she's smarter and stronger than her peers.
I've read most of this writer's works. I appreciate seeing this in the Kindle shop.Decently fleshed out characters. .. I'm not going to be revealing any other plots etc.Again, the Kindle, online books have MANY SPELLING AND UNFINISHED LINES! This aggravates me to death.
