Why read it?
1 author picked All the Weyrs of Pern as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love all of the Pern novels, but Iâve chosen this one because it features my favorite dragon and human characters. What I enjoy most about the Pern books is their setting in the future, when humans have settled in an alien world.
Some of the humans form a telepathic bond with a native species which look like dragons, and work with their dragons to preserve life on Pern. I would love to live on Pern and to be the rider of a gold dragon!
From Chrys' list on great dragon characters.
