Fond memories of reading the series in the early 1980s
I have read almost all of the extensive series. I LOVE it Ann Mccaffery is a wonderful writer. It is so easy to imagine being a part of this story. If she has written something i have not read i would eagerly read it and maybe re-read it.
I generally love all things dragon. This series knocked the ball out of the park. She has set the gold standard for dragon blooks. F’lar, Less a and the other characters are well developed and reflect the diversity of life. Most interestingly, the dragon characters are as well developed and diverse as the human characters. The world building …
Enjoyed this book
It spawned its own following and many sequels. I wonder how many GOT fans gained an early love of all things dragon from reading these books?
I loved all of the Dragonriders of Pern books including this one. Anne McCarthy wrote fantastic and enjoyable stories!
Love almost all of this series!Great series!
A great read
A favorite author – favorite series – re-read many times
I highly recommend all the books based on Pern.
The Pern books are all wonderful reading.
One of Anne McCaaffrey’s (i.e. the queen of SciFi and Fantasy) best!! Very epic beginning to a great story with 26 books plus several short stories, all tied together on a planet with indigenous intelligent dragons and a lost colony of man who were stranded there millennia ago. This is a most excellent series, epic like the Lord of the Rings …
Have loved this book for years. Great story about a symbiotic relationship between humans and dragons and how they save their world.
Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern books are among my favorites. My mom bought me the three book box set when I was about thirteen. The first book was a little slow and I might not have stuck with it but my mom had bought these books, and they were kind of expensive, and I am so glad that I did. Her imagination is wonderful, the …
A Classic!
What can you say this whole series by Ann McCafferty is amazing
I didn’t expect to love this collection as much as I did, but it was awesome. The characters are well developed, the writing is subtle and smart, and it is different from a lot of fantasy. The collection contains three books, Dragonflight, Dragonquest, and The White Dragon. If you’re looking for classic fantasy that lives up to the hype, this is …
Once you enter the world of Pern, you won’t want to leave.
This is one big dragon and her rider, and about their mates. Enjoy.
A truly wonderful series of books. I fell in love with all of the characters. Made me want to have a dragon or at least a fire lizard of my own.
I read all of the Dragon of Pern books when I was a teenager. I recently purchased this great volume that has all 3 of the first novels and re-read them as a retiree. They were just as wonderful and transportive as the first time I read them. I even bought the audible books to listen to too. Anne McCaffrey’s Pern series does not seem to have a …
