This book was pretty good and very complicated. I just didn't like the big time jumps they had between all the main sections.
"HOW CAN ONE GIRL SAVE AN ENTIRE WORLD?
To the nobles who live in Benden Weyr, Lessa is nothing but a ragged kitchen girl. For most of her life she has survived by serving those who betrayed her father and took over his lands. Now the time has come for Lessa to shed her disguise—and take back her stolen birthright.
But everything changes when she meets a queen dragon. The bond they share will be deep and last forever. It will protect them when, for the first time in centuries, Lessa’s world is threatened by Thread, an evil substance that falls like rain and destroys everything it touches. Dragons and their Riders once protected the planet from Thread, but there are very few of them left these days. Now brave Lessa must risk her life, and the life of her beloved dragon, to save her beautiful world. . . ."

I love the Pern Series. I have been reading it since I was a pre-teen. And I still go back and re-read it over and over.
The beginning of Ann McCaffrey's excellent Dragonriders of Pern series.

I liked this installment of Pern: it's a good story and a gripping read.

According to an "official" guide, this book is #1 of 16.
The first Pern novel, and for me, it's the best.
My favorite of the Dragonriders series.

1st book in the series. I got all the other books after reading this one!
When I bought this one, I forgot that I had read it in the past. It was a good re-read. I enjoyed it.
