Book Review: Dragonsong
Dragonsong by Anne McCaffrey
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
My first visit to Pern was back in the 1980s. My book club recently chose Dragonsong as our monthly read, and I was delighted to have a reason to go back and re-visit that world.
The setting is still as cozy and charming as ever. The storyline holds up well. However, the attitudes of her family towards what a girl is allowed to do, well that grated on me more now that I’m older. In the 1980s, a girl could be told to stay in her place and I’d accept it. Now? Not so much. However. This book is a product of it’s times though, and can be read and enjoyed if one remembers that.
