anything by McCaffrey is awesome, and this one established the legacy.
I love all Anne McCaffrey books. I have most of them in paperback, or hardbound. I wish they had a few more of her books online (I.e: the Rowan, the Kilternan Legacy, etc).
A classic young adult novel. It is part of a wonderful series and I encourage readers to read everyone of the books.
Love this book and author!!
I love all her books.
My favorite series by one of my favorite authors. She began my love of dragons. I found this series accidentally. I was bored and out of books so I started reading this one that my boyfriend had left hanging around and fell in love. Now I have a bookshelf full of her books, including almost all the pern series.
Have read so many in the series and enjoyed everyone. Descriptions were awesome and plots were woven with great skill.
Dragon riders fighting a foe to save their world! A physic bond with the dragon. Not everyone is a dragon rider you have healers and singers and travelers and lords all fighting the same enemy, and each other.
I love Anne McCaffrey’s stories and characters. she never disappoints.
This was probably my first post-Tolkien nerd-fest. It was the first book I got from Scifi Book of the Month Club (a 3 in 1), and I read them all (and the after-trilogies)
Loved loved this book, fantastic author
The Pern series has its weaknesses such as inconsistent characterization across some of the books, but world-building has never been better and the plots are enthralling.
Fires the imagination. Wonderful character development.
This is good writing and exciting tales. I could not put them down.
Please read these 3 books in the correct order.
They will set your foundation for any other Pern novels by Anne or Todd McCaffrey.
The story begins with Less a and a long interval when Thread hasn’t called and the Dragon Riders have seriously fallen out of favor with the Lord Holders.
From here, you need a week off and lots of food so you can …
This is a classic! I read it many years ago, but it still resonates with me. I enjoyed the characters and the bond with the dragons. A lot of action that kept me reading.
Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonrider series is my second-favorite fantasy series, after JR Tolkein’s Hobbit.
Although it’s been over a decade since I read Dragonriders of Pern, the story still haunts me. Few books stay with us clearly, but this one did. Though I can’t name any of the characters, I still remember the story line. The book is powerfully written and the world Anne McCaffrey builds is amazing and unique. If you like fantasy and science …
I picked this up, again, recently. My first go-around with this series was many, many moons ago. I loved it then. I love it even more today–though the quality of her writing makes me realize just how much further up the mountain I need to climb with my own work.
I have read every single book of the Pern world Saga. My favorite is The White Dragon
