This was a really quick read but very enjoyable, just like all of Anne McCaffrey's other Pern books.

A nice little companion story to MORETA: Dragonlady of Pern. It almost could have been smushed onto the end of that book as a bonus side-story or something?? I didn’t think it deserved to be Pern#8 more like #7.5.
I liked how Nerilka and Alessan’s romance began in an unconventional way as him falling into her arms would have been highly OOC for both characters. I would have liked a bit more happily ever after with them before the future-epilogue but I liked what little I got.
The next Pern book is patiently waiting on my shelf and I am excited to crack open that cover!
3 Stars - a nice way to get more info on N and A.

If McCaffrey and taken Moreta and Nerilka and somehow made them into one book with alternating perspectives, I think it would have made a much more engaging story. It gets a little tedious reading the same dialogue in this book that was in Moreta. And again, the ending of this book is spoiled in the previous one, so there are no surprises. It's a nice enough story, but not one of the best in the Pern series.
Short little story that coincides with the last book, fills in some gaps and sheds light on what was going on with different characters. Short! Quick read, enjoyed it.
The only Pern book I've read that was written in the first person. It was odd, but personal, for a change. As an account of the great plague, it was good, but I didn't like the characters as much. (January 2008)
