Loading... The Skies of Pern (2001)by Anne McCaffrey
None. Definitely one of the lesser Dragonrider books, bedevilled by too many main characters all jostling for elbow space (and getting only paper-thin characterisation as a result), strawman villains, and the two halves of the plot sitting in uneasy relationship to each other. Having said that, there was some gravitas to be had from: A) the planet-wide emergency caused by the tsunami (this is lent extra weight by the fallout of the major tsunamis of the last five years in our own world), and B) by a terrible event befalling on a main character, which has genuine repercussions that aren't completely glossed over.

Again it was rather longer than the earlier books, and there was a definite sense of the author having run out of momentum, but being required to keep churning the books out because the series is so popular. (  ) Robertgreaves | Jun 6, 2010 | Dragons, intrigue, suspense, hope... a gamut of emotions for this last Pern novel. All good things must come to an end, and this one was satisfying to the very last page. (  ) kpolhuis | May 13, 2010 | no reviews | add a review
