Critic reviews

"The transformation of Menolly from a terrified outcast to a woman secure within herself is skillfully handled, making her a sympathetic character with whom many readers will identify." ( School Library Journal)
"A superbly crafted fantasy in the heroic tradition....Unlike many sequels, this maintains the dramatic tensions of its predecessor." ( Horn Book)
"Although set in another world, where dragons fly and people have fire lizards as pets, Menolly's innermost concerns are wholly contemporary." ( Booklist)

Delightful

This was the first Anne McCaffery book I ever read, almost 40 years later it’s still absolutely delightful. I appreciate her beautiful writing, and her characters could leap right off the page, but the Firelizards are what keep me coming back. I still wish I could find a clutch and impress one of my own💗

Fantastic, timeless Story

I love this book...

I've always loved this book and the 2 sibling books to the trilogy, they're actually what got me into Pern. Unfortunately, the recording for this audio version is not as crisp and clear as I've become accustomed to with Audible. The reader is decent and articulate, but the audio quality is muffled, muddy at times and I have to turn the volume up beyond the normal levels I'm usually at, just so I can hear it semi-decently.
Still love the book though!!!

Love Menolly!

The story is wonderful, as good as I remember from childhood. The Performance of Sally Darling is strong and well done in the depiction of Menolly. I'm always going to be a fan of McCaffrey's but this series is what brought me to her world.

Narration

The new narrator takes some getting use to a very heavy southern accent. But overall ok.

Dragonsinger resonates with joy.

Menolly finds her place in life. She learns more about the options for her as a Harper. Her fire lizards develope, learn, and become her support team.
