A review by kmg365
Sky Dragons by Todd McCaffrey, Anne McCaffrey
3.0
Well, whaddaya know? After I complained bitterly about the last three Pern novels, I fully expected to dislike this one as well. But I didn’t! And it wasn’t all due to sentiment generated by the fact that it’s the last Pern book that Anne herself will have a hand in.
I think I figured it out-- Fiona only makes a brief cameo in this book. Therefore, I was able to understand what was happening, and when. When Fiona did show up, near the end of the book, sure enough, things started to get confusing again: Xhinna is no longer a wingleader. No, wait-- she is. No-- she’s definitely not. Hang on a bit-- she is. She really, really is.
I’ve decided that Fiona is the literary equivalent of a wormhole. Any plots involving her become grossly convoluted, and the reader is spit out on the other side of the galaxy, battered and bewildered.
Not the best Pern title in the series, but far from the worst.
