Pursuing her dream to be a Harper of Pern, Menolly studies under the Masterharper learning that more is required than a facility with music and a clever way with words. Sequel to Dragonsong.
Strong YA fantasy novel that continues McCaffrey’s triumphant run on Pern.
I read this after Dragonsong, but still out of order from the overall correct order to read these books.
I liked this book quite a bit. Other than length, I'm not sure why this book is suggested for an older age group than Dragonsong. I read this book quite fast and am well immersed in Pern at this point.
Clearly, parts of this story reflect things that occur in Dragonflight and Dragonquest, which is why you would want to read those books first, but they just are refered to, so I am enjoying the stories as they are told.
