Search - Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern (Dragonriders of Pern, Bk 7)

The story of Moreta takes us deep into the Weyrs and the lives of the Weyrfolk hundreds of years before Lessa and F'lar rule Benden. Aside from the fantasy aspect, this story is also a medical drama, following certain characters who are racing to diagnose and cure a plague.

I really liked this book, and I love the two Weyrwomen who it focuses on (and their Queens, of course). It is an excellent read, and can really be picked up at any point in the series, even as a first look into the world of Pern.

This is the story of a key personage in Pern's history, Moreta. Moreta is the leading Weyrwoman of Pern and finds the job not an easy one. Not only does she have to deal with the threat of Thread, but also a plague that could destroy life on Pern. This is one of the best Pern stories and will really tug at your heart strings. If you're a Pern fan, you HAVE to read this one.

For fantasy lovers, if you don't know about the dragonriders of Pern you are in for a treat. This one was definely one of my favorites!

a good book, well written
