Umm.. not the best book of the series submitted by ValerieL on July 4, 2012, 10:33pm I love this series and I will happily read every book that comes out in it, some of them many many times, but this was definitely not one of the best. I think all the "timing" it that they've been doing in the last few books has made even the authors' brains a bit addled. All this going back and forth, back and forth between times is just getting utterly confusing. I'm really hoping that with the ending of this book, we're done with timing it so much and we can be less confused in the next one (if there *IS* a next one, since Anne McCaffrey died in Nov. 2011).

I still love the characters that Todd McCaffrey has created and some of them really stretch and grow during this book. We see them overcome some formidable obstacles including dissension amongst themselves. And in the end, they come up with a solution to help the planet which is still in peril from the dreaded dragon sickness which took the life of so many dragons. It remains to be seen whether or not this solution will actually be *THE* solution needed, but it's a start.

In the end, I would still recommend this book to Pern-lovers because I think it does advance the storyline, but it is certainly NOT one of the best books in this series.
