Title: Too Close for Comfort
Product review: This book is entirely too much like Anne McCaffrey's Harper Hall trilogy. Let's see: young girl with abusive males in her past runs away from her overly restrictive home, gets lucky and ends up in a Hall with Healers etc, and happens to live in a world with Companions entirely too similar to McCaffrey's dragons (telepathic mind link & all). Oh and she finds she loves to sing (like Menolly) and she also suffers all sorts of bully problems (like Piemur deals with in _Dragon Drums_). And I think at one point the place is actually called a "Hold" too.If you read this book and loved it, read Anne McCaffrey's series and you will see that the writing there is vastly superior to Lackey's. And those books were written 10 years earlier.I hope the next books in this series make up for this oh-so-sweet (and completely predictable) first book.
