Book #24 - Dragonsong
I'm continuing my Anne McCaffrey experience with the first of the Harper Hall books. This one was a pretty fast read (or maybe my speed in general is picking up), in the same clear and easy style as the first two books of hers. I'm... sort of ambivalent about Menolly. I get happily caught up in her story and then every now and then it hits me that she's a _raging_ Sue. With the phenomenal talent (music) and the woe-is-me-nobody-understands-my-art and the running away from home and leet survival skills and Impressing _nine_ fire lizards... In my edition on a page right before the foreword is a list of their colors and names. So before I even started reading this story, my back was up.
However, I'm not sure what it is about her that makes me still like Menolly, but I do, so I'll keep reading. Pern continues to be an interesting place, and in this book we learned a little more; Menolly is from a Sea Hold, so we find out about life outside the Weyr, and specifically about sailing and fishing. Also it's interesting to see weyr life from an outsider, get a different perspective on events from a previous book.
