Description Concering Books Dragonsinger (Harper Hall of Pern #2)
I won't go into depth as this is a book I've read several times since first encountering it as a teenager ages ago and there are literally hundreds of detailed reviews. One thing that inspires me about Dragonsinger, though, is that it doesn't follow the contemporary form of having everything go wrong for the main character all the way through until the end. In contrast, Menolly actually succeeds in almost every chapter--a victory for her shared with the reader--and yet somehow McCaffrey still made the drama feel genuine throughout.Rating Regarding Books Dragonsinger (Harper Hall of Pern #2)

Gross. I would strongly discourage my daughters from reading this because it encourages a certain kind of female I can't stand: the girl who doesn't get along with other girls (to whom I always want to say "The other girls don't hate you because you're 'special', they hate you because you're insufferable.") The tolerable, even interesting Menolly from the first book (which I gave 4 stars, by the way) disappears into a freaking Mary-Sue, oh so talented, yet so modest, championed by the "good"I won't go into depth as this is a book I've read several times since first encountering it as a teenager ages ago and there are literally hundreds of detailed reviews.

Even after my 15th reread (this one through audiobook) I still love the hell out of the first two books in this series.

Perhaps rereading this book every year is overkill - no matter - this has been a perennial favorite of mine.
My favorite of the Harper Hall books! There's something so satisfying about Menolly, who went through hell in the first book, being treated like a princess, and shown around the Harper Hall. Getting new clothes, meeting new friends, finding out that her scarred hand will heal . . . just so satisfying!
Live for my livingOr else I must dieDon't leave me alone.A world heard that cry.I love this whole section of the Pern series, it's always such an enjoyable read! I'm a fan of the whole Pern world, but adding in a focus on music was a huge bonus for me (and I love Menolly and her fire lizards).
