  highly emotional
  
  This is a great book in the dragon riders series. A highly emotional book. It leads you in one direction but takes you in another.

  This book was really not that good.
  
  I'm going to keep this short because this book doesn't warrent that much of my time. Nothing really happens in this book. I've read the prior Pern novels and they were good enough to enjoy for a light read. This book, yes, pertains to the history of Pern but does not add much to it. Nothing is really accomplished, except that this is a start of a different era of history. I kept waiting for something to happen that is notable but nothing really did. You get a few small tidbits of imformation about the origional colonists but not much. This book really makes me reconsider weither or not I will read anymore Pern books.

  The story behind the ballad
  
  Here is the story behind the Ballad of Moreta mentioned in the excellent Dragonsinger series.
  
  It is a gripping story of an influenza pandemic sweeping through a medieval society. In that, it is an excellent and worthy addition to the Dragonriders of Pern series.
  
  It is set prior to the time of Lessa and the familiar characters of previous books. Those books speak of a time of restoration, of rediscovery and of renaissance as changes sweep through Pern's society. In this book, that excitement is lost. If this book had never been published, the Pern cycle would not be damaged. In some ways, this story undermines the appeal of the Ballad of Moreta as the plot here disagrees with the story told by the ballad. However, this is small damage and this is a pleasant story of an earlier Pern that stands well on its own.
