Crystal Singer is the story of Killashandra Ree, music student. She has just discovered that she does not have the vocal talent to be come a Stellar, or top ranked performer. She wanders aimlessly until she gets involved in preventing an accident at the spaceport, with the help of a crystal singer.

Soon she is fascinated by the possibilities he presents. When he suffers from backlash relating to his choice of career, she decides to accompany him back to Ballybran, and apply to be a Crystal Singer herself.

I truly enjoy this novel. Ballybran is an unusual world with unusual requirements for its inhabitants. I've never been quite certain why EVERYONE wanting to live on Ballybran must have perfect pitch, a requirement for Singers, but whatever. Don't come crying to me with your recruitment problems, guys!

Aside from that one bit that drives me up the wall, it's a good read.
