After reading this book, I wanted to read all books about bonding with dragons.
My absolute favorite series ever
Anne McCaffrey has created a wonderful series. The characters draw you in, and riding on the back of a dragon to save the planet is just an added bonus.
Absolutely awesome
This is a woman who knows her craft. Her characters – male and female – are strong and believable. The world building is excellent and cohesive. There are scenes that are provocative without being overtly sexual. Amazing work. You will want to stand on the hatching ground and be chosen, even if only by a blue.
Mostly fantasy but some in series have Sci-fi
This is the trilogy that starts McCaffrey’s multigenerational epic. The action unfolds in a fantastic quasi-midevial world ruled by Lord Holders, Craft Masters, and Dragonriders telepathically linked to their dragons. Be prepared to fall in love with Pern!
A Classic! Haven’t read all the follow up books but really enjoyed McCafferey’s world of Perl. Recommended!
This is THE book that got me totally hooked on fantasy. The entire pern series is a wonderful read. Not overly deep, but the characters are ones you will care about, and the writing is, well, McCaffery.
I read the whole series. these are a great read for someone interested in dragons and fantasy
Loved all of the Pern books when I read them a long time ago.
Love her writings…all perm books are excellent.

The Dragonriders of Pern takes us to a space colony that is suddenly abandoned by their homeworld. They settle on the planet of Pern, which is an amazing world in itself. The colonists have to adjust to the …
One of my all-time favorite series. A superb read with engaging and vivid characters facing unique challenges.
I know this book is hailed as one of the pillars of sci-fi/fantasy, but I was not impressed. I got through it, but never had any desire to read another in the series.
The Dragonriders of Pern are excellent books. The Characters are interesting, realistic and well developed. The story line is an incredible tale set on a planet far from Earth. You will witness true acts of courage, as well as cowardice. You will feel the frustration, passions and grief along with the characters. Anne McCaffrey has created a …
I read all of this author’s Dragon Rider’s series years ago. Loved them all!
Marvelous !
beginning of excellence
So many elements in this tale of science fiction…political pvertones, a race to retain knowledge before all is lost, the failure and reawakening of technology….fascinating series! I love them all
