This unfortunately was not one of the better books in the series. I think all the "timing" it that has happened in the last few books that were published has made even the authors' brains a bit addled. All of the back and forth, back and forth is becoming utterly confusing.
I still love the characters that Todd McCaffrey has created. Some of them really stretch themselves and grow during this book. We see them overcome some formidable obstacles, including dissension amongst themselves. In the end, they come up with a solution to help the planet which is still in peril from the dreaded dragon sickness. It remains to be seen whether or not this solution will actually be the solution needed, but it's a start. We may never know if what they tried worked or not since there hasn't been another Pern book published since Ms. McCaffrey died.
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.… (more)
