Damia (Tower and Hive, #2)

by Anne McCaffrey

Of all the Rowan's children, Damia was the most brilliant and the one who inherited the Talent. It was obvious that she would be a Prime. As Damia grew up, her Talent became almost too strong to control, and the only solution was to send her to the planet of Deneb, to her strange grandmother.

Reviews

[wyvernfriend]

From when she was very young Damia had a lot of power. So much that it became almost essential that she leave home to live with her grandmother and discover how to control her powers. She comes into contact with aliens and discovers treachery, but there's also love.

I do have some problems with father figures or almost father figures becoming romantic figures, it's an almost deal-breaker, particularly when he uses a post-hypnotic suggestion, implanted when she was very young to send her to sleep when she's an adult "for her own good".

Not my favourite of hers, not a bad story overall, but more joined short stories than an actual full novel
