Just read a line of perspective or dialogue, and one can almost feel the pulsating personality of the character, like the whirling eye of a dragon or a fire lizard.
I did not really want to read this one since I really can’t stand some of the science fiction elements in it (some of them are, frankly, disgusting and nothing can cover the foul taste), and it’s not as if I care for the ones I can tolerate, but the characters, the dragons, and the awesome writing more than make up for it! It has been a while since I have read a new Anne McCaffery Pern novel (new to me, that is), and I’d almost forgotten how much I loved her characters and her dragons. Review (I don’t think I really had any spoilers to talk much about this time, so there’s only the one review, but be ware: snippets, as usual, as the review draws to a close): Rating: Fascinating, Immersive (by now, a lot of you are probably familiar with my unique take on ‘rating’!) If only, they thought, the dragonets were big enough for a human to ride and intelligent enough to work as a team with a rider…Īnd so they set their most talented geneticist to create the creatures Pern so desperately needed – Dragons! Then some of the colonists noticed that the small, dragonlike lizards that inhabited their new world were joined the fight against Thread, breathing fire on it and teleporting to safety. It began to look as if the colony, cut off from Earth and lacking the resources to combat the menace, was doomed.
Suddenly deadly spores were falling like silver threads from the sky, devouring everything – and everyone – in their path. The beautiful planet Pern seemed a paradise to its new colonists – until unimaginable terror turned it into hell.
