Book Reviews of Dragonquest (Dragonriders of Pern) (Dragonriders of Pern)
Book Review: A pleasant entertainment, lacking the wonder of the original
Summary: 4 Stars
F'lar and his brother F'nor must save the planet Pern from unexpected falls of the deadly Thread in this sequel to McCaffrey's marvelous fantasy `Dragonflight'. Reading the earlier volume first is probably a good idea - it sets up the characters and the situation on Pern to an extent that this book does not. Lessa, the heroine of volume one, is still present, but no longer a crucial player in this story. Much of the emphasis is on the rivalries between Weirs (homes of the Dragonmen) and the Holds (enclaves). At the same time, tensions are rising among the Dragon Riders themselves between the ultra-conservative Old-Timers (who were brought forward through time from the distant past in Volume 1) and their more modern and forward-thinking counterparts led by F'lar. A lot of pages were devoted to topics that didn't really go anywhere (the fire lizards, for example) but will likely be addressed further on in the series. This was a pleasant-enough entertainment, but didn't possess anything like the wonder and majesty of the original.
Summary of Dragonquest (Dragonriders of Pern) (Dragonriders of Pern)
Another Turn, and the deadly silver Threads began falling again. So the bold dragonriders took to the air once more and their magnificent flying dragons swirled and swooped, belching flames that destroyed the shimmering strands before they reach the ground.But F'lar knew he had to find a better way to protect his beloved Pern, and he had to find it before the rebellious Oldtimers could breed anymore dissent... before his brother F'nor would be foolhardy enough to launch another suicide mission... and before those dratted fire-lizards could stir up any more trouble!
