This is just the first three books told from a dozen other points of view. To begin with the many different points of view (which don't merge until somewhere around the middle of the book) was a bit disjointed and irritating to me. It took me a long time to get interested in the story at all and nearly just stopped reading the series all together. In the end I didn't hate it, but it is for SURE my least favorite. McCaffrey shifts her focus from dragonriders, harpers and lord holders to the other people who live on Pern and are affected by Thread. The book covers a longer time span: it starts around the same time as "Dragonflight" and ends a bit after the end of "The White Dragon". Many events in those books are revisited in other books through the experiences of the newly introduced characters. The book gives more depth to some of the conflicts in the previous books. It also reinforces the turn to science fiction, with more discoveries of the technology of the original settlers. It was good enough that I was happy to stick w/ the series, advancing to the next book, "All the Weyrs of Pern". ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML:“[McCaffrey is the] master of the well-told tale.”—Chicago Sun-Times As long as the people of Pern could remember, the Holds had protected them from Thread, the deadly silver strands that fell from the sky. In exchange for sanctuary in the huge stone fortresses, the people tithed to their Lord Holders, who in turn supported the dragonriders, Pern’s greatest weapon against Thread. But not everyone on Pern was protected. Some, like Jayge’s trader clan, simply preferred the freedom of the roads to the security of a hold. Others, like Aramina’s family, had lost their homes. Regardless of their differences, however, they all feared the outlaws who preyed on holds and holdless alike. The Lady Thella’s renegades are the most dangerous yet—all they need is Aramina, whose telepathic link with dragons can help them evade the dragonrider patrols. But Jayge is out to stop Thella . . .and he will never let her have Aramina. No library descriptions found. |

By the time I was halfway through the book I disliked all the characters. Every single one of them. They're all doing selfish crud with no redeeming features at all.
This isn't the clear good guys and bad guys Pern I was expecting, and it could have been without even changing the plot.
A few brighter spots towards the end, but to little too late, and a ending only someone selling a sequel would love.
The interesting Pern backdrop just barely helped me make it through, but you're better off finding a different Pern. ( )
