Dragonsong, by Anne McCaffrey
5.0
Re-read ... well, listen. I've read this MANY times, and saw that my library had the audiobook, so I grabbed it and experienced it again, in audio. The narrator was good, had a bit of an accent at certain times. Sounded "older" (both in age, and thinking this was recorded a while ago?)
This book was my introduction to Pern - well over 30 years ago. This trilogy is more YA than the Dragonflight/Dragonquest/TheWhiteDragon and its sequels, but it starts years after [b:Dragonflight|61975|Dragonflight (Dragonriders of Pern, #1)|Anne McCaffrey|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388182243l/61975._SY75_.jpg|2467422] ... it's really interesting as there is the prologue here, that basically recaps all of Dragonflight, setting up this complex world. Such imagination from the author!
It was so interesting to relive this world. It's been years, but I found I really remembered so much of what was happening, or going to happen. It was a little different to have the book read TO me, a little different pronunciation than my imagination had created for some of the names.
I still LOVE Pern!
