embereye's review against another edition

4.0

This is a reread of course. Honestly the Harper Hall books strike me as McCaffrey's best out of the Pern series for a variety of reasons. Being written for younger audiences but not particularly dumbed down, familiar storylines and characters, and so on.

Just as good as the first book. 01/30/2017: Read this again. Enjoyed this just as much this time, and I think I will stay in the Pern world for a while.

01/26/2019: Just the right time for a re-read. How I wish she had written more about Menolly.

02/21/2020: It is wonderful to be back on Pern, and Menolly is one of my favorite characters

01/23/2021: These books never fail so satisfy, no matter how many times I read them.

04/25/2022: Read again

01/04: Read again

Menolly is still have to fight the same battles in this book as in the first, but we get to learn more about the other characters, which was nice. The ending is clearly leading to the third book. For most of the end I was wondering how this book was going to propel itself and then it’s a quick conclusion that does the trick. It’s not bad and I feel it can still be enjoyed today.
