i love anne mccffrey. but my favorite books by her are the harper hall trilogy, i love the combination of music and dragons, two of my favorite subjects anyway. menolly is a character i can see myself knowing, she is wonderful!! her g personal growth through her impression of the firelizards and separation from her oppressive and misunderstanding family, will take her far, if she lets it.

Menolly was a bit of a Mary Sue.

Oh my, I wish I got my hands on this delightfull series 10 to 15 years ago already. When I first fell in love with Pern and gave me a shelter for all the things in the world I couldn't handle. It would have been such a comfort for me than, while now I Just enjoy this part of the world I never knew the specifics of Just general idea and love seeing new and old people and places of a place dear to my heart.

Absolutely lovely coming-of-age story. Watching Menolly grow in confidence and awareness was a real treat. A few times her meekness drove me a little crazy, but I can't disagree that she made a compelling character. In fact, a few passages did bring me to tears. Further, as I read this book 40 years after it was first published, her overwhelming meekness may have been less outstanding then. I also really loved spending so much time in the company of Master Robinton.
