Started off as a 3 and settled out to a 3.5/4. Seemed to age so much better than other early Pern books.

This was good but didn’t have the same flavor as the future pern books. So many baddies in this storyline! McCaffrey’s sexism is there of course but she also writes in some of her characters lightly opposing gender norms which is interesting.
