"the struggles and triumphs of a brain ship and her brawn, the loss and recovery of her fragile psychi" — Theresa (5 out of 5 stars)
"the struggles and triumphs of a brain ship and her brawn, the loss and recovery of her fragile psychi"
" I was disappointed in this book. It's the only one of hers I haven't loved. I thought the characters where somewhat insipid and shallow and the book just didn't seem as interesting to me as her others have been. "
" What a nifty way to empower a handicapped being! "
" This brainship book included more fantasy/magic than the others in the series. Carialle is looking for intelligent life and stumbles upon a planet with frog-like creatures that use rolling globes to travel. It turns out that the planet has been decimated by the overuse of magic. "
" I really don't remember much about this book, its the only one of the 5 i have read that i do not own. I remember being very disapointed in it. maybe i'll give it another try sometime "
" Another brainship book. "
" No ground breaking new ideas but an enjoyable read none the less. Was leaning too much towards Fantasy rather than Sci-Fi which was unexpected as I did not remember that slant in the Ship Who Sang but I enjoyed the book. "
" Book 5 of the brainship delivers as good as the previous four. This is another quick enjoyable read. "
