The Renegades of Pern by Anne McCaffrey

3.0

I vaguely remember this books main characters, and do remember the ending, but the middle I remember as dragging a bit. Probably would have given it a 3 stars but cannot rate it without re-reading.

all the amazing new discoveries of AVIS and who will be in charge.

. It is definitely worth reading as a continuation but it drags a lot with the telling of people’s stories. 3 stars solid, good, mainly only for readers of the series.
