Critic Reviews

"The transformation of Menolly from a terrified outcast to a woman secure within herself is skillfully handled, making her a sympathetic character with whom many readers will identify." ( School Library Journal)
"A superbly crafted fantasy in the heroic tradition....Unlike many sequels, this maintains the dramatic tensions of its predecessor." ( Horn Book)
"Although set in another world, where dragons fly and people have fire lizards as pets, Menolly's innermost concerns are wholly contemporary." ( Booklist)

Please Sally Darling - practice each chapter before recording.

Spoilt again, by incorrect pronunciations - possibly in some cases it is American pronunciations, eg, "buoy" as booey instead of boy - "grimace" as grim-ace instead of grimus - two examples, but the misplaced emphases are really the ones that indicate lack of proper preparation. But, your voice is the one thing that makes the readings acceptable- you are listenable.

Return to old favourites

I’m loving revisiting the world of Pern.

The reading order is a bit confusing but the stories are great.

Narration is not the greatest I’ve heard but way better than I’d do so who am I to criticise. Most of the time it’s okay it’s just occasionally it distracts from the story. Overall though easy listening.

Dragon singer.

As always,. Anne McCaffrey has brought to life another part of the world of the Dragon riders. This time from the point of view of a misunderstood and talented girl as she enters the Harper hall.
