The Renegades of Pern by Anne McCaffrey

2.0

Dude, even McCaffrey got bored with her own new (deeply boring) characters halfway through the book, chucked the whole Holdless plotlines for huge swathes, and went back to focusing on Piemur and Toric and the politics of the Southern continent. It irks my sense of order that huge chunks of the through-narrative from the original (in my mind) six books/two trilogies has to be continued here before being picked up as the A story once again in [b:All the Weyrs of Pern|61926|All The Weyrs Of Pern|Anne McCaffrey|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1191941122s/61926.jpg|2341135] again. It seems a poorly put-together book, but I nevertheless relished the bits about Piemur growing up and continuing his story from [b:Dragondrums|28553|Dragondrums (Harper Hall Trilogy, Book 3)|Anne McCaffrey|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167947308s/28553.jpg|1592020]. I also like the gaps filled in a bit in and around [b:The White Dragon|127586|The White Dragon (Dragonriders of Pern, Book 3)|Anne McCaffrey|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171940148s/127586.jpg|2886933]. Those two reasons are worth it to me to slog around the Jayge-Aramina-Thella bits to fill in details for the overarching storyline.

Oh, also? The cover shown here does not match my book, even though I selected via ISBN number. ::grumps::
