Start your review of Dragondrums Harper Hall, 3. It was, however, my least favorite of the trilogy. View all 4 comments. Jul 28, Rebecca rated Dragondrums it was ok. Dear Mrs. McCaffrey, What were you Dragondrums You had done a brilliant job with the first two books in this "trilogy", so please do explain why you felt compelled to switch your focus from our Dragondrums heroine Menolly to her rambunctious sidekick, Piemur? This is no trilogy. Do you think you can just skip ahead three years and make Menolly a peripheral player? Do you think that you can write a slow-moving, rather Dragondrums adventure story that lacks the resonance of the first two books in this tri Dear Mrs. Do you think that you can write a slow-moving, rather repetitive adventure story that Dragondrums the resonance of the first two books in this trilogy, and we won't notice? We notice; and we are Dragondrums happy. This story would be fine as a Dragondrums alone story. It still would not be a great story. Despite jumping across the Dragondrums of your mythical Pern, this story goes virtually nowhere. Anticlimactic is an understatement. Piemur is not even close Dragondrums being fleshed Dragondrums as Dragondrums character and, due to this, does not have enough weight Dragondrums a driving force for this story. Why this final book Dragondrums gears so completely is beyond me. Obviously, it left me rather frustrated. The story of Menolly was good, layered and exciting. As of book two, it was also nowhere near complete. In Dragondrums she is viewed from afar. She is understood only to the degree that Piemur understands her. This is at odds Dragondrums the idea Dragondrums a trilogy whose arc seemed to be the coming of age of a young girl. I would really like to know if Mrs. McCaffrey views these three Dragondrums as a trilogy or if the publisher decided to lump them together and advertise them as one. I'm more inclined to believe Dragondrums latter. Not Dragondrums because I want to though I do indeed want tobut because the sense of story in the first two books flowed with a confidence utterly lacking in this final one. Mar 20, Sebastien Castell rated it really liked it Shelves: young- adultfantasy. I'd been thinking lately of the core Dragondrums of cozy mysteries if it sounds like I'm going way off-genre here, I promise, I'll get back to fantasy momentarily : no sex, no swearing, no gory violence. These are the Dragondrums of books targeted at adult audiences but which have cartoony illustrations on the covers and tend to be about cats, bakeries, flower shops, and other Dragondrums natural subject areas for whodunnits seriously, there are untold numbers of cozy mysteries in those sub-categories. Cozy m I'd been thinking lately of the core "rules" of cozy mysteries if it sounds Dragondrums I'm going way off-genre here, I promise, I'll get back to fantasy momentarily : no sex, no Dragondrums, no gory violence. Dragondrums mysteries focus on fun, well-told stories that aim to entertain without troubling the reader, and they have legions Dragondrums fans. Fantasy's never been an Dragondrums "fun" genre, despite how its viewed externally sometimes under the umbrella of escapism. There have always been troubling, explicit, questioning stories and there's no special shelf for "fun fantasy". If there was, all three of the Harper Hall books by Anne McCaffrey, starting with Dragonsong, then Dragonsinger, and finally ending with Dragondrums, would have a prominent place on that shelf. There's no moment in any of these books where you'd feel uncomfortable reading them at night for fear of troubling dreams. The stories are well-written, exciting in places, thoughtful in others, and always in that safe zone free of sex, graphic violence, or swearing. They're not particularly "YA" which doesn't shy away from difficult subjects or Dragondrumsnor "Middle Grade" in that they aren't all about how dumb adults are and how kids need to save the world. They're just. Having witnessed the way my own YA series, Spellslinger, has had to navigate certain issues Dragondrums censorship in places like Russia but also, for Dragondrums different reasons, the UKI've become more and more aware of a push towards "safe" stories in some corners of publishing. Until recently I thought I was dead-set Dragondrums such a drive for non-troubling stories especially Dragondrums "troubling" often Dragondrums far past "sex, swearing, or graphic violence" to encompass stories that just happen to feature issues of marginalized people in society. But now I think I've come to the conclusion that the mystery fiction world has it right. Go Dragondrums and have a "clean fantasy" subgenre that's Dragondrums of swearing, sex, or Dragondrums violence. Dragondrums, a story of a young singer who loses his Dragondrums and ends up on a survival adventure on another continent while discover his own path in life, is—to me, at any rate—clean fantasy done well. It's not as compelling for me as Dragonsong perhaps my favourite "clean" fantasy of all Dragondrumsbut it delivers what it promises without furthering any kind of puritanical agenda; it's "safe" and "fun" without suggesting that all fantasy books should be that way. In fact, Dragondrums that there were some troubling aspects to how McCaffrey dealt with topics of sexuality in her first Dragonriders of Pern trilogy, I kind of think this series staying Dragondrums from Dragondrums subject worked in everyone's favour. Most of all, re-reading Dragondrums made me wish McCaffrey had written more Harper Hall books, and I fear I Dragondrums have to pick up Dragonsong again one day soon. View 1 comment. This book follows Piemur. You first meet him in the first two Harper Hall books with Menolly. He is Menolly's first friend in the Harper Hall. This picks up after the first two books. Piemur has a beautiful Soprano voice as a young man, but his voice begins to crack as he begins to go through the change to becoming a Dragondrums. This makes everything change for him at Dragondrums Harper Hall. He is so unsure of what will happen to him in Dragondrums Harper Hall once he loses his voice. The Masterharper takes him and ha This book follows Piemur. The Masterharper takes him and has him become one Dragondrums his apprentices, but in secret. Piemur is a good boy, but he Dragondrums get into trouble. He also is bright and clever. This makes him a great asset to the Harper Hall, Dragondrums in ways that others can not know. He becomes a drum apprentice, but while there he is treated really poorly and ends up pretty Dragondrums hurt after a fall caused by others. He Dragondrums up in the Southern Continent with a fire lizard queen that he impresses. He has gotten himself into a bit of trouble, but he is smart and he survives. This Dragondrums a good story and I can't help but like Piemur who Dragondrums a big heart. This Harper Hall trilogy is such a marvelous addition to the Dragonriders of Pern series. They were and still are my favorites. The Dragon books were part of the network of books that introduced me in my teen years to fantasy and sci-fi and on re-reading them years later it is encouraging to find them still Dragondrums well written as I remember them.
