Representaion Concering Books The Renegades of Pern (Pern (Chronological Order) #22)
As long as the people of Pern could remember, the Holds had protected them from Thread, the deadly silver strands that fell from the sky and ravaged the land. In exchange for sanctuary in the huge stone fortresses, the people tithed to their Lord Holders, who in turn supported the Weyrs, whose dragons were Pern's greatest weapon against Thread.But not everyone on Pern was part of that system of mutual care and protection, particularly those who had been rendered holdless as punishment for wrongdoing. And there were some, like Jayge's trader clan, who simply preferred the freedom of the roads to the security of a hold. Others, like Aramina's family, had lost their holds through injustice and cruelty. For all the holdless, life was a constant struggle for survival.Then, from the ranks of the criminals and the disaffected, rose a band of renegades, led by the Lady Thella. No one was safe from Thella's depredations, and now her quarry was Aramina, reputed to have a telepathic link with dragons. But when Thella mistakenly vented her rage on Jayge's family, she made a dangerous mistake. For Jayge was bent on revenge . . . and he would never let her have the girl who heard dragons!

This is one of the more troublesome of the Pern books, because even though it's one of my favorites, I can't deny that the "villain" is pretty much in the right. At least, at first. Thella just wants to be considered for the succession of her father's Hold, which should be her right as the first-born child. Not only is she passed over solely on the basis of gender, but then her YOUNGER brother treats he like an object, to be sold as a sex-slave to a man she despises. I'd be tempted to go ChaoticI'd give this about 3.5 stars. I still enjoy it, but for the most part Thella dragged it down. Her Pov bored me. I also didn't buy the Jayge Aramina love. He'd only seen her a couple of times before he saved her. I feel like it was almost more of a Lust that might have turned into love over the years of living together. Loved the stuff with Pieumer. I never did get to read Dragon Drums, but I've always enjoyed his character. I liked seeing the different pov's on things we'd seen in other books.
Dude, even McCaffrey got bored with her own new (deeply boring) characters halfway through the book, chucked the whole Holdless plotlines for huge swathes, and went back to focusing on Piemur and Toric and the politics of the Southern continent. It irks my sense of order that huge chunks of the through-narrative from the original (in my mind) six books/two trilogies has to be continued here before being picked up as the A story once again in All the Weyrs of Pern again. It seems a poorly

Where I thought Moreta and Nerilka should have been combined into one book, this one felt like it should have been two separate books. There are two very different stories haphazardly crammed into one. It's kind of a mess. It jumps all over the place in location and time and point of view. And every time I read one of the love scenes, I just roll my eyes. They are so awkward and forced! I am beginning to ask myself how McCaffrey became so famous when she was turning out books like this.
I like fantasy. I really do. I'm really starting to not like this Pern series. Every time I pick up a Pern book, I sigh with reluctance. Every time I pick up a Pern book, I would rather pick up my phone to play a time wasting game like solitaire or Sudoku. I think it's the writing style. It is awfully dry. Then the plotting. The ending of the primary plot about the primary protagonist and antagonist (I think primary) was telegraphed from the very beginning, down to the weapons. Then, there is
This is a comfortable book which ties together many different plots and people from all over Pern and ultimately links them to the Southern continent. It is also the book that sets up the latter stories in the series, since in the later part the Pernese discover the sites of 'the ancients' on the Southern continent and start excavating them, leading to latter books.This book contains probably the most number of separate plots, discrete plot lines and the largest suite of characters of any that I
3.5 stars Although I enjoyed this book it felt like two different stories mashed together, along with bits and pieces of the other books thrown in. The reason for that I guess is that it was over a long period of time. Piemur and the continuing excavations in the south were fascinating but I kept wishing they would come across a Dictionary as it would help immensely.
