Crystal Line Contributor(s): McCaffrey, Anne (Author). I would imagine that if you like the one, you'll like the other. I compare it to the Crystal Singer series because the plots are quite similar even if the mechanics and backstory are quite different. What other book might you compare Crystal Line to and why?

(The Crystal Singer:III): an awe-inspiring epic fantasy from one of the most influential fantasy and SF novelists of her generation. Some of the interesting back story was left out of this abridged version that had more of an impact on the story than I would prefer. It's the really bad quality of the audio recording that makes this audio book somewhat unpleasant to listen to. Is there anything you would change about this book?Īfter listening to the second book "Killashandra" which does not suffer the poor audio quality of this or the first book "Crystal Singer," the narrator was fine if fast paced.
