Anne McCaffrey
Anne McCaffrey — 16 titles in the rankings, first published between 1968 and 2001. They average 7.7, below the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages. 9 of the series have a reading order worth keeping to.
Editor’s note Best known for the Dragonriders of Pern, where riders bonded to telepathic dragons defend their world from Thread falling from the sky. Dragonflight, the first, is the most read but rates lower than what followed. Her highest rated book is Dragonsong, the start of the Harper Hall trilogy about a girl who wants to become a musician; it is also a good way in for younger readers.
