A review by sylyons
Dragongirl by Todd McCaffrey

2.0

It was enjoyable, but I can't say that I loved it like the previous Pern books. It felt a little too simple and, unfortunantely, fanfic-y at times. I understand that there's trouble and these women are important but they felt very formulaic. The spunky, headstrong girl who becomes the leader through sheer will and the woman who seems like she all powerful because of her abilities and what she has done. The ending was quite interesting because it didn't go quite exactly like I thought it would.
I also need to go back and read the other books because I don't remember there ever being so much time travel like this book. It was made so that there was no other option but that, however, it seemed a little forced. What really enticed me to this series was the story weaving around the people of Pern and their dragons while fighting Thread. This one felt different and the story mostly revolved around these two women and love.
