This is one of my favor authors, stories, characters and so much more. I love these books!
I read all the Pern books decades ago, a number of times. I love them still!
Anne McCaffrey’s dragon riders are the dream fulfillment of everyone who read fairy tales, and wondered it maybe the dragons don’t have to be evil. These stories are mostly science fiction (was you accept time/place jumping reptiles), and the world building is excellent. The characters are not cookie cutter, with quite a bit of variety, and …
I loved it and all of them.
This book is one of the best I have ever read. I love it and go back to re-read it time and again. I highly recommend this book.
Great fan of Anne McCaffrey Pern series. I re-read them regularly.
I enjoy all of the Pern series!
Read years ago,was a real page turner. Might read the series again.
These books have everything you read a story for. The dragons are delightful. The characters are well defined . the story line very realistic. It draws you into. The complex yet practical. world of Pern. I’ve read every Pern book written and own them. Í often reread them for the entertainment and joy they bring. Liie the Lord of the Rings …
I think that Anne McCaffrey invented the “dragons and their riders” genre. The genre has often been imitated, but no one has ever done as well as the originals. Her characters are engaging to begin with, and they grow and evolve in maturity as the series progresses. They are people that you would like to meet and emulate.

Not so much an adult science fiction book, but can be read by adults with pleasure. Well done, with good characters though a little bit predictable.
Anne McCaffery Built a believable world with a highly integrated society with all the politics and foibles that go with a true society. Characters are multi-level and sympathetic, heroic, or unlikable depending on the character. This is a great compilation of the first 3 books in her Dragon riders series. All in all a great read, and one to be …
I love all McCaffrey’s Pern novels. Her world building is excellent and the post-modern world introduced to its past storyline is well done.
This book like the entire series of Pern Dragon novels are among the best books written for entertaining a scifi reader. I’ve read thousands of books and anything by Anne McCaffrey is among my favorites but the Dragon Rider stories are the best. Don’t read one unless you’re willing to invest in the whole long list. Worth the time to read and …
Do the entire series.
I loved Pern and her people. The world and characters come alive. They grab you and claim your heart. All the dragon books are a great read. Highly recommend them.
Words cannot compare to reading Dragon Riders of Pern series, I read and read this series years ago not many books come close to to the worlds, people and dragons that come to life between these pages, this is my overall favorite epic fantasy series I’ve read in 50 years.
Classics that are still enjoyable.
I’m re-reading these favorites. Pern is a world I love returning to from time to time, with it’s intricately conceived society and ecosystem and memorable characters. McCaffery is (was) among the best.
Read the whole series many years ago and loved it. Bought it again to reread.
