The Dragonriders series of novels by Anne McCaffrey did offer a thrilling ride fantastic worlds with interesting conflicts, issues, characters and good storytelling.

When I first read the Dragonriders novels more than ten years ago, I found them a refreshing change from the typical sorceress and sword tales that were being published at the time.

I did find that later novels in the Dragonriders series had less of the freshness of the initial novels as they were more formulaic.

Dragonflight was the first novel I ever read after more than a decade. I had been a huge reader of the novels when I was a school child but had stopped reading them when I grew older.

With a new found thirst for some fantasy stories, I read this novel and I have to say it is just as good as it was all those years ago.

This list has blown my mind. I was that one reader in my family that spent my childhood calling Anne McCaffery the dragon rider lady. I started saying it at five, and I never stopped.

I had no idea that she had written other novels in other series. In fact, I’m just realizing now that I never finished the Pern novels, which doesn’t make sense because those books were my life.

I blame my school librarian. When I got to book 10, she told me the series was over. I don’t know what she was thinking. Maybe they thought I would demand the rest of the series, and they couldn’t be bothered to procure the other novels.

I don’t get it. And honestly, I don’t really care right now. I cannot wait to dive back into this world and to figure out where the story went.
