Status Updates From The Dragonriders of Pern (D...

Even baby dragons are dangerous! Ramoth the baby golden dragon. No wings yet. I just started part II. Not book two. Part II of book 1. This Searching involved baby dragons choosing boys. So girls AREN’T required then? There are male dragonriders because L and N are riders and they have apostrophes in their name. Maybe it’s a mate thing?

This doesn’t feel like the beginning of a story, but the middle and I’m not liking any of the characters. F’lor and F’nor. Why give characters names that are easily mixed up. I just nicknamed them L and N to keep them straight. I’m not sure I like Lessa either. Dialogue is a bit stilted but the world building isn’t bad. And I’m curious about why a female dragonrider is required.
