Anne Mccaffery is a consummate story teller. There were 3 stories in this book ranging about 20 years. They were compelling tales of action romance and adventure without the long drawn out sex scenes so common today. She didn’t need them.
I haven’t read a single McCaffrey book that I didn’t enjoy. It’s always a joy to sink into the worlds she has created.
Ann McCaffrey = Dragons. If you haven’t read the Pern Series, start right now. You’ve missed out on one of the greatest series of all time. Enjoy!!
Good read. Flow between books was good. Was very original, as well as entertaining.
Fun fantasy books for dragon lovers. This is the perfect place to enter Pern. Anne McCaffrey’s books are must read for sci-fi fantasy fans.
This author, and her PERN series prompted me to write, to become an author. Knowing I will never be as good as she was. I have read this series over and over, and each time is like visiting old friends. I recommend all of the books in this series.
Dragonriders of Pern drew me in and made me love dragons and science fantasy. I will always remember and love this book and this series. Great writing. A great story focusing on a woman as the main character. It’s nice to have a book this old still touch me.
This is a favorite “world” to visit. I am still looking for a golden egg.
Have always grabbed all the books available by this author. Love her world of Pern and all the characters she has populated within it. Her son continued and although he’s a decent writer he’s not his mother and so the feeling of the world changed somewhat when he took over. If you love scifi fantasy, never miss an opportunity to latch onto one …
I have loved these books for decades, ever since I sat at the foot of my parent’s bed, and listened wide eyed, hugging a pillow, as my Mother read them out loud. Pern was the first place I ever wanted to stay. I have dreamed of Impressing my own dragon. There is just so much to love about these books, especially the originals.
I’ve read almost everything Anne McCafferey wrote. They are all good!!!!
I love the characters and the world of dragon riders in Pern
This is one of the best fantasy stories and series I have read. They are so good. I own them!
Have read & reread every book, my first and still best dragon world!
I love the Pern books and re-read them every few years. What could be more satisfying than bonding with a dragon?
Fairly fast pace but the characters have depth.
I relish any opportunity to revisit my old friends on Pern; who can resist any story with The Masterharper of Pern, Jaxom, Ruth, fire lizards, and dragons? To a new reader, I would tell them that Anne McCaffrey’s stories are immersive and I have never, in my entire life, wanted my own dragon so badly. Now if I could only find a fire lizard …
characters are realistic and engaging
This is my favorite fantasy/sci-fi series. I have read dragonflight so many times the book fell apart and I had to buy a new one!
Great book!!!
