Dragonquest by Anne McCaffrey
4.0
Here's my no nostalgia review. First time reading this book in 2023.
(Go check out my Dragonflight review first. I don't wanna just copy and paste my thoughts here)
TLDR: If you read Dragonflight and Dragonquest and still doesn't like this series, you aren't gonna like any of it. I think everyone should give at least these first two books an effort. The sci-fi and characters in this book really hooked me to keep reading.
Dragonquest introduces some interesting characters and way more sci-fi elements. I don't know if I just wasn't paying attention enough in the first book but the sci-fi here really wowed me and I was seriously excited when those elements started popping up (trying not to spoil anything here.) We also get more information on the world which I just can't get enough of at this point.
Personally, I think what got me to keep reading this series (besides the interesting world building) was Jaxom. He is introduced in this book and has a very small role here but I just have a huge soft spot for the hatching scene with him.
