The character development and uniqueness of the kinds of challenges she faces are exceptionally well done. This trilogy does not take place in the same "universe" as the Pern books. (no dragons)

I second the recommendation for the Crystal Singer trilogy. I can't give a particular reason as it has been many years since I read it but I remember liking it a lot.
