The Renegades of Pern by Anne McCaffrey
4.0
A sprawling story that begins before the return of Thread and Lessa's Ride, The Renegades of Pern was not one of my favorites when I first read it. There are so many characters and it jumps all around in both space and time, but a second reading was much better.
I really appreciated the larger scope of Pern and the chance to see more ordinary people. So many of the other books focus on the Dragonriders and Craftmasters and Lords - the elite of Pern. Here we meet carters and tinkers and holdless people.
On the flip side, it's a reminder of the feudal world that Pern has become and that's not a system I support well. The book still got 4 stars, so I could handle it.
