Synopsis

With a cast of beloved characters from previous Pern novels, Dragongirl is another triumph for Todd McCaffrey—and a riveting chapter for the Dragonriders of Pern.Young Fiona, rider of the gold queen Talenth, has returned with the dragons and riders who fled into the past to heal their battle wounds and prepare to fight anew the menace of Thread. Now more than three years older, Fiona is no longer a child but a woman—thrust into authority by a shocking tragedy. But leading weyrfolk who are distrustful of a young outsider will be only one of her challenges. Despite gaining reinforcements from the past, too few dragons have survived the recent plague to stem the tide of the intensifying Threadfall. As a senior Weyrwoman, Fiona must take decisive action. With the aid of Lorana, the rider who sacrificed her dragon for others, and Fiona’s true love, the harper Kindan, she proposes a daring, nearly impossible plan. But if it succeeds, it just might save them all.

Is it that I'm getting tired of Pern, or is it the frequent time travel, or is it the abundance of characters across many books-or is it because this was written by Anne's son, Todd?

Goodreads review by Cheryl on August 11, 2011

Wow, this is a first for me—a 2-star review! And, for one of my favourite series, no less! I really, really wanted to love this book since it deals with my beloved Pern and its dragons. But, honestly, it just had too many issues for me to give it more than 2 stars. First of all, I probably should have......more

And, whil......more
