Killashandra, one of the most gifted singers on Ballybran, is drawn like a magnet to the song of crystal. In order to work with crystal, singers are infected with a symbiotic life form that heals them and gives them near eternal life—but slowly destroys their memories. Since crystal singing brings Killashandra ecstasy, she doesn't mind the initial small annoyances of memory loss. What she hadn't counted on was the loneliness she felt when her heart still remembered what her mind had forgotten—the names of her friends and lovers. Can the crystal that destroyed her memory somehow restore it? By reclaiming her unpleasant past, can Killashandra step forward into the future?

If you enjoy science fiction, I find Anne McCaffrey thoroughly enjoying. Another is the Pern series of dragon books, which I forget how many books are in that series. It covers centuries of that world's development, if I remember correctly. I been a couple of decades since I read them. Enjoy.

Outstanding series and finale

What made the experience of listening to Crystal Line the most enjoyable?

I love this series and this book. The abridged version leaves so much out and the recording was made so long ago on older technology. I still listen to this book and this series over and over again. I wish the they would get an unabridged version of this 3 book series.

The audio quality is not very good, though, the story and performance are still very well done, despite this.

great except audio quality

Books one and three in this series were oddly fuzzed and distorted, especially when compared with book two. I am not sure what went wrong with the files, and will be contacting Audible.

The story is a challenging, heart-wrenching, healing and beautiful finish for the series. The performance was quite good but for a handful of pronunciation and consistency items fairly easily ignored. The modulation and emotive variations were wonderfully done. Satisfying but for the audio quality of the file.

Great story & performance, subpar audio?

Love these books but the abridged version is a bit disappointing as it is missing so much of the wonderful detail.

Missing too much detail
