| Re: Which is your favourite book? (Any series)
Robinton is great, but I don't like MHoP much. It's hard to believe Menolly's story about girls not being allowed to be Harpers if just a generation earlier they had a female MasterHealer and even more surprising, female sea captains (given how conservative the folks at Yanus Sea Hold were). After that, the Harper Hall books lose all their impact. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that I personally don't count MHoP as Pern canon at all, because it conflicts with so many precedents. |
