Robinton Revealed

I enjoyed listening to Robintons early years. It gave me a new view into a character that I have always loved in the Pern novels.


Masterharper weaves quite a tale

McCaffrey's beloved Dragonrider's of Pern series has been blessed with yet another novel. For as many of these novels that she has written, one might suspect that there would be at least one dud among them, yet every time I get my hands on one, I am pleasantly surprised - and find I don't really want to put it down.

Chronologically, this novel perfectly segues into Dragonflight, one of the primary Dragonrider novels. The last chapter introduces us to Lessa and the events at the beginning of that novel. But Masterharper is actually about Robington, a Mozart of Pern, if you will. A musical genius who masters all instruments his fingers touch, Robington strives to find his identity and person despite his father's lack of acceptance. Through his various adventures and training and teaching Robington realizes the dangerous lack of regard for the danger of the future fall of thread and begins to try and somehow fight this fading belief in thread.

If the previous paragraph makes little to no sense, don't sweat it. This is an excellent novel, moving quickly and developing some very interesting and intriguing characters. Most of these novels could be categorized as Fantasy due to the element of dragons, but in reading other books of the series, it is actually realized that this series is more science fiction than fantasy. All in all, it should be a fun read to fans of either genre.

If you've never read a Dragonrider's novel, this is an excellent example of one, though, personally, I would hold Dragonflight (Dragonriders of Pern) or even The The White Dragon (Dragonriders of Pern Vol 3) to be a few of the best Dragonrider's novels.

Masterharper of Pern

The narrator of this was excellent. I have a long drive to college, 3 days a week and this made the driving easier. Anyone who likes Pern will love this.

Get ready to cry.

If you have read any of the series you know how the Masterharper steals your heart from the first book. This book makes you love him even more. Wraps you up from beginning to end in Annie's wonderful world. Enjoy.






In a time when the deadly scourge Thread has not fallen on Pern for centuries--and many dare to hope that Thread will never fall again--a boy is born to Harper Hall. A musical prodigy who has the ability to speak with the dragons, he is called Robinton, and he is destined to be one of the most famous and beloved leaders Pern has ever known.

It is a perilous time for the harpers who sing of Thread--they are being turned away from holds, derided, attacked, even beaten. In this climate of unrest, Robinton will come into his own. But despite the tragedies that beset his own life, he continues to believe in music and in the dragons, and he is determined to save his beloved Pern from itself--so that the dragonriders can be ready to fly against the dreaded Thread when at last it returns . . .
