Commentary Toward Books Dragonsinger (Harper Hall of Pern #2)

I won't go into depth as this is a book I've read several times since first encountering it as a teenager ages ago and there are literally hundreds of detailed reviews. One thing that inspires me about Dragonsinger, though, is that it doesn't follow the contemporary form of having everything go wrong for the main character all the way through until the end. In contrast, Menolly actually succeeds in almost every chapter--a victory for her shared with the reader--and yet somehow McCaffrey still made the drama feel genuine throughout.

Sure, there was plenty of good fantasy to read if you knew where to look, but for most of the general populace, awareness of fantasy was limited to The Lord of the Rings, which had been published twenty years earlier. So when McCaffrey published her Pern novels,

Another enthralling science fiction work from the late, great Anne McCaffrey.

Originally published on my blog here in September 2000.Although, one of the lightest novels in the Pern series, Dragonsinger is one of my favourites. I find it very evocative of what it feels like to take pleasure in making music. McCaffery is of course musical (she was an opera producer before taking up writing), and music plays an important part in a fair number of her novels (the Crystal Singer series and The Ship Who Sang as well as several of the Pern series).Dragonsinger follows on

Live for my livingOr else I must dieDon't leave me alone.A world heard that cry.I love this whole section of the Pern series, it's always such an enjoyable read! I'm a fan of the whole Pern world, but adding in a focus on music was a huge bonus for me (and I love Menolly and her fire lizards).

This book rocked my world in 8th grade. Plus, dragons!
