Dragon Harper (2007)

Dragon Harper Todd McCafferyStale characters running through a cardboard plot. Sadly this sums up the latest return to the Pern, the world of dragons. We have been here before but in better company. In a strange choice for this book, the thing that Pern is most known for is notably missing, dr...

The Skies of Pern (2002)

Originally published on my blog here in December 2001.This latest Pern novel reads as though it is meant to round off the series. It is one of the most successful series of novels in science fiction, both long running and consistently high selling. The general trend has been for the novels to bec...

All the Weyrs of Pern (1997)

I enjoyed this book by Anne McCaffrey. I read some of the reviews written about it before deciding to read the book. I had read several of her books, and though the few reviews I read were not particularly positive, I felt I would read ALL THE WEYRS OF PERN in any case. But two points mentioned...

Book

Dragonsblood (2015)

From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. The torch has been passed and burns more brightly than ever in this latest chapter of the venerable Pern saga, the first of what one hopes will be many solo efforts by the son of series creator Anne McCaffrey (_Dragons of Pern_). The narrative shifts smoot...

It has promised to help to rid the world of Thread forever, and is educating the population to its purposes. It needs to learn the specifics of the Dragons powers...

Book

Dragonquest (1986)

Oh my god. So I thought the other books were full of weird rape and slut-shaming, but this one is the worst one yet. WTF, McCaffrey.It takes some special talent to write a sex scene between two people who are in love and want to have sex, and somehow make it actually rape.This entire scene betwee...

Book

The Masterharper of Pern (1999)

Warning: I am in love with the books by Anne McCaffrey, and have been for over 20 years. I do re-read my favourites often, a few at a time, so there will be more reviews in the next few days. Master Harper Robinton plays a big part in most of the books in this series, so his own history is always...

The White Dragon (1986)

Author: Anne McCaffrey First published: June 1978Length: 319 pages, 7042 kindle locationsThis book has posed me a challenge to review. For much of the time, I didn't like "The White Dragon". I like the ideas. I like the extensive World development. I like the overlap of characters and events from...

Dragon's Kin (2004)

Lately I have had a craving for Pern.I remember that someone from Baen's Bar recommended the series to me because of my love of Mercedes Lackey books years ago.They told me I had to read this series if I loved dragons! How could I not give it a read after that.Sadly, I was never able to finish th...

Dragon's Fire (2006)

From Publishers Weekly The McCaffreys' second fire-breathing collaboration (after 2003's Dragon's Kin) again proves why these fabled dragons still cast a spell. Pellar, a mute Apprentice Harper; Halla, a homeless girl; and Cristov, a miner's son, learn invaluable life lessons as the planet Pern...

Book

Dragon School (2000)

I loved this and of course it had special meaning as it was the last Pern novel that Anne McCaffrey wrote before she passed away. She wrote this with her son and her legacy to her son and daughter was that they alone could continue the Pern stories. A pretty clear picture of surviving on an outpo...

Dragon's Time Dragonriders of Pern (2000)

***Spoiler alert***Dragon's Time by Todd & Anne McCaffreyI've been a McCaffrey fan since the 80s and recently reread the entire series. She's one of the few authors I've seen successfully depict a near-Utopian society. That said, I don't think she could have had any input into this awful, awful...

Book

Sky Dragons (2000)

I can't tell you how many times I've read this series. Just read this title again, and it still doesn't disappoint. Telepathic dragons, strong female characters, great relationships, and the Harpers' guild and music as a strong guiding force. What could be better? In hindsight, I still enjoy read...

Book

Dragonheart (2008)

This book is the best (so far as I've read) of Todd's Pern books. At times, it was hard to put down. But, it's not a stand-alone book and the story is not finished at the end. All of the Third Pass books need to be read together, in quick order... Parallel stories are told and reading the book...

Book

Dragongirl (2010)

I have been reading Todd McCaffrey's books in sequence and when I first began Dragongirl, I was dismayed to note the extremely negative reviews (I had not been pleased with the writing or cohesion of his previous books although I had enjoyed the stories). Having finished Dragongirl, however, I th...

Book

Dragon's Time (2011)

I love anything Pern but the series with Todd McCaffrey has some twists that seem inconsistant with his mother's portrayal of the citizens of Pern. Dragon's Time has carried the story to some interesting places but this generation of riders are not as conservative as they are referenced to in la...
