Nerilka's Story
Unlike the other Pern stories this one is told from the perspective of Nerilka, a character who was mentioned a few times in the book 'Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern' and generally covers the same time period and events.
It is an inspiring and fascinating story with wonderful characterisation and a deeply emotional ending.
Another Pern gem and worth a 4.5 rating.
The Coelura
I was expecting this to be a Pern story, however, it is completely unrelated and is a rather strange story, both in subject matter and in the style it is written which while readable failed to capture my interest.
I would only give a 3.5 rating.
