Title: Avoid later-day Pern stuff, read the early works
Review: I am really not being fair, since I haven't read this book. But I've been burned by "later day" Pern books, so I am secure in telling people not to read this or anything made recently except All the Weyrs of Pern (it's a must, all the rest of poorly written unimportant crap).I really DO NOT like McCaffrey writing the story of the first settlement, or the first fall, or the founding of this or that place or weyr, since a) it takes the magic and legendary quality out of the Pern, and b) exposes us to her later-day writing, which is far less in quality than the Dragonwing/Harperhall trilogies and Moreta (gotta read Moreta!). Do yourself a favor, and don't read any of the "early Pern" books. Get what you need to know about the founders from Moreta and avoid the rest.P.S. What does she add things like talking dolphins later when they were NOT there from the beginning?
Is the review positive or negative?
