A review by jackirenee
Dragon's Kin by Todd McCaffrey, Anne McCaffrey
4.0
Kindan's family has recently moved to a new miner camp in the hopes of establishing a new hold. But tragdey strikes, leaving Kindan an orphan and the camp without a watch-wher. But the dramatic events place Kindan in new paths never imagined and he must make the choice to pursue his dream or save the camp.
It has been many, many years since I have picked up a Dragonriders of Pern book, and I was immediately reminded of why this series alone fills up a good portion of my bookshelves. Written by both Anne McCaffrey and her son Todd, Dragon's Kin is true to the series and the world of Pern. All the Pern books are such that I can't wait to finish them and then when I do, I regret it because I fill as though I must say good-bye to friends I have come to love.
I was a bit skeptical about having someone take-over the series, but having grown up with these stories like myself, Todd accomplished the task with passion and loyalty to Pern and his mother. I have no hestitations in reading any future work.
This book was given 4 stars because it reignited a passion for Pern and now I cannot wait to read more. However, this is not on par with the stories of Lessa and F'lar. It is however, and enjoyable read and worth picking up for fans of Pern.
