Are they starting to tire? [Posted on 2008-06-09]
I think this is a good book for Pern book lovers like me. I do NOT however think it is up to the McCaffrey of old, It feels like it could have taken another rewrite. The characters didn't quite come to life, somehow.
The story's entertaining, and the pace is at times, fast. To kill off a major character, then re-awaken him later in the story reminds me of the film end-of-season cliffhangers.

Dragon's Fire [Posted on 2008-08-02]
The Mccaffreys have collaborated again to create a Pern saga that revisits characters such as Master Zist and Kindan. In this volume, the reader is introduced to Pellar, the mute Harper apprentice, Cristov, a miner's son, Halla, a homeless young girl, and Moran, Harper to the Shunned. This entertaining fable includes breathtaking dragon flights and the discovery of a new source of firestone to be used in fighting the dreaded "Thread" falling on Pern. Great summer reading.

Pern....will we ever get enough [Posted on 2008-08-05]
Again, the McCaffrey family has outdone themselves. I started reading the series as a youth and past 40 I am still reading the series. I wait with great anticipation for each new book. I am glad that her son is now writing.

No dragons (AGAIN) [Posted on 2008-08-12]
I am just SO tired of Pern books with no dragons (except for ferrying people around). Be warned, this is another wandering kids book.

This book was a terrible disappointment. I just kept slogging thru it, hoping at some point it would finally hold together. It didn't. The big "search for Maron" just fizzled. The guy was never held accountable for what he did wrong, which just doesn't jibe with the way Harpers are supposed to me.

The thing I've been noticing with the trend of these latest books in the Pern series, is that no one is ever happy. There is only misery and a lot of back-stabbing. The only happiness seems to come in the last two sentences.
