Title: Saddening
Product review: I've loved Pern since I was a teen. Lessa, Robinton, F'lar, Moreta, Menolly, all of the characters became friends I visited again and again. Sadly, the newer books don't have the "magic" that the early ones did. Nor do the voices of the co-writers blend well. The narrative is bland, and while the mute Harper boy is an intriguing concept, the whole story is cardboard, like BAD fanfic. I fear fans will have to look for good fanfiction to continue Pern, as some of that is better than this latest professional entry.
