This is my first review but I had to do this because I love this book. I have the Original 1st printing paperback from the earl 90's & I have read & re-read it numerous times. If you are looking for something just a little different with some romance & an amazing storyline then please give this one a try. I enjoyed how she mixes,Hawaiian lore with New-age,Sci-fi, & fantasy to make something like this story come to light. I've read a couple of her other works also & while they are good this story is my favorite one of them all. Very well written & the characters are amazing.Check it out.

I love water based fiction. There is so little of it. I first read reef song when I was in middle school. It was a book that I picked up at the library. It was also one of the books that catapulted me from Young Adult stuff into more intense, conflict and character driven science fiction.

Reefsong is about a very driven woman who is pushed from one element into another. She has to deal with problems and she does it without spending excessive amounts of time bemoaning her own loss and change. She is not happy but that does not mean she is going to put aside her task and whine about life not being fair.

The main feel is colonial vs big company.

The cast is an interesting mesh of adult and juvenile. The evil people are evil and greedy and it is satisfying to see them loose. The science is fun and it works in the story. It is a very satisfying read.
