Story ends with death of Fax as Ruatha Hold is liberated. The main part of the story is the growth of Robinton, his relation with his parents, and his eventual acceptance of the post of Master Harper. (  ) EssFair | Jan 16, 2009 | As a stand a lone book, The Masterharper of Pern is a well written, enjoyable story. However as the 15th or so book in the Pern universe, it unfortunately ignores the lore and framework established in the earlier books. These aren't little things but major storyline affecting continuity breaks. The book is basically written in some alternate universe where the characters and settings are familiar, but the history and relationships are different. The overall effect is that of a mary sue piece of fan fiction. (  ) Landshark5 | Jun 30, 2008 | Masterharper Robinton may be Anne McCaffrey's most beloved character. A truly good man, who wants the best for his people and friends. After a long wait by fans, McCaffrey finally gave us his story. Excellent!

The rest is more interesting, as snatches of Robinton's growing up and career are given, until his ascenscion to the top job.
He's almost a bit too good to be true, except when seen dealing with the odd spy or other.
McCaffrey as usual tends to glos sover anything remotely nasty to keep it kid friendly, but there's still plenty of charm to be found, and a it of realpolitik in dealing with the repressive and murderous Lord Holder.
