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)

Wonderful! I was spellbound from start to finish.

I cannot wait to read the final part of the trilogy, and then the rest of the books

Great read, brought tears to my eyes.

The reading and story are lovely.
There’s an issue with the production as the Chapter numbers are incorrect. I guess it may be because it was produced a long time ago. I had to jump about a bit to listen to the story.

Dragonsinger

I loved hearing this book using Audible . Even though I had read it some time ago I found a different experience and in the excitement of the book with hearing it read to me . I would recommend anyone to give Audible a try and also all the Pern series of books by Anne McCafree.

Lovely, just lovely

A deeply underrated writer whose work has been classified as light/fantasy, but is buried in science, as you’d realise, once you make your way through the Pern books.

The audiobook is well read, and I cannot find fault with this version.

If only someone would tackle “The Ship Who Sang”, and the “Crystal Singer” books in their unabridged forms.

one of my old time favourites

This is book 2 in the Dragon singer mini series.

I grew up reading these books, Pern is a world I have loved since I was around 11 years old (I'm 43 now) this book was written the year I was born and it's still as enthralling now as then.

I listen to this roughly once a year, the 3 books in this mini series in the Pern world. These and The White Dragon are my favourites... if you haven't read/listened to these before, do give them a go.

You may want to start with Dragonsong first though as it tells Menolly's story, although this can be listened to as a stand alone.

Sally Darling reads well, its strange to hear irish sayings or phrases read with an american accent but as Anne McCaffrey was an American living in Ireland, I doubt it matters much!

Enjoy!
