Engrossing read entices me to go back and read the Pern series

Dragon’s Code: Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern

By: Gigi McCaffrey

Rating: 5 of 5

Many, many years ago, I read a couple of the first books in the Dragonriders of Pern series but then life got in the way and I never finished reading any further in the series. I recently chanced upon this book and was interested in reading it because I was curious to see how the author carried the series forward.

The story is engrossing and well written, and from what I can tell, builds upon the earlier story lines but does not expect that the previous series to have been read. This book provides enough back story necessary to understand the world of Pern without spoiling what has happened in all of Anne’s original books.

New characters and a fresh new story line are the focus of this book which is centered around Piemur, Piemur is a young man in Pern, who ends up as the protagonist in this book at least.

“Dragon’s Code” is a great read and I am looking forward to continuing reading this new series as additional books are written. Reading this book has also had the effect of luring me back to Anne’s original Pern series. I now plan to go back and read her entire Pern series of books over time.

I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
