I want to re-read this. I read a few pern books as a teenager and always felt that the plot had so much potential but the writing style was lacking. I wonder if I'd feel the same way now.

God I'm loving these books! So glad they're all on my kindle. I can just go from one to the next so easily.

4 star entertainment value (this may be my favorite Pern book Ive read) and 2 for writing craft (inconsistent pacing and depth into scenes, including an abrupt ending). Averaged out to 3.
The narrative could have easily focused entirely on the dolphin plotline and fleshed out the characters and development more, instead of cramming in a weyr & dragonriders plot that didn't really connect at all.

I remember this as a great book, but I didn't like it that much this time. I'm finding Pern books constantly if slightly disappointing, and that makes me really sad.

Very good story with a very fun idea behind it.
