The Mennoly story has held up, although I found the references to the other plots in other novels distracting.

I love McCaffrey’s dragon books ☺️ this one was more of a novella but still very good. Makes you wish you could have a fire lizard of your own. A dog is pretty close though. Mine eats my food and sits on my shoulder anyway.

I loved Menolly, and how despite all her misfortune from her the environment which she was brought up, she sees an opportunity when she finds the fire lizard. She heads back out with no intention of returning and surrounds herself with the fire lizards who haven't expected her to be someone she's not. It was heartwarming to see her choose to stay away from her family, surrounding herself with people who saw her skills and did not deny her for what she was capable of.
