Our view
“Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern” rewards readers curious about Pern’s history by telling in full an episode the earlier novels only hinted at. Anne McCaffrey’s seventh Dragonriders book leaves the familiar characters behind for an entirely new set. Some longtime readers struggle with it, finding the many new names hard to keep straight and the plot contrived and repetitive.
