Write Up Containing Books The Dragonriders of Pern (Dragonriders of Pern #1-3)

great characters. totally believable world, great progression and arc

Pretty standard pulp fantasy with a bit of a sci-fi bent. Entertaining & a good read, but nothing tremendous. Dragonflight begins the Pern series, and Dragonquest picks up pretty much right where Dragonflight leaves off, but The White Dragon takes place several years and 3 books later, so it can be somewhat jarring if you haven't read the Harper trilogy (the 3 intervening books). Strong points (all 3 books): 1. Generally likeable main characters who cooperate well against external threats.

I've read this multiple times from when it was 1st published as well as most of the following novels, duologues and trilogies. It is a favorite epic fantasy of mine. I consider it one of the best speculative fiction series extant. I've argued the genre of this series - fantasy vs sci-fi - since CompuServe days. To me it has always felt like fantasy and this 1st trilogy is certainly epic fantasy. Granted it becomes Sci-Fi as the Southern continent is explored and discoveries of origins made. I



One of my very rare Five stars.Very good writing, an ingenious world. The dragons are worth reading about, the characters are real and stay in character. The actions scenes are great, so are the descriptions. The plot follows itself as it should. This is the first three books which are a trilogy. So you can get the full read with this set.I fully recommend all three. A little dark in places and a surprise ending, not sure if the all the main characters are always likable but they are real. A

Awhile back I picked up a used copy of The Dragonriders of Pern, which encompasses the first three novels in the series by Anne McCaffrey. I looked up the original publication date, and the first came out in 1968, so these have been around a long time and the reviews on Amazon are mostly glowing.Looking at it from a 1968 point of view (the same year as the first book in Le Guin's Earthsea trilogy I might add), it is an original plot with interesting premises - really a mix of science fiction and

Eminently readable and occasionally problematic, The Dragonriders of Pern trilogy is a classic in the science fiction genre that all serious students of science fiction should read, at least once. As much as I tell in this review I will not give away the main plot resolution, nor many of the fascinating subplots, but I will explore characters, so...mild spoilers ahead if you've not read it yet Book one of the trilogy starts in the point of view of a very strong female lead character, Lessa.
