Pros: Fills in all the gaps in Robinton's backstory Cons: It's a biography, not a novel. {YAWN} Familiarity with Pern is essential.
Masterharper of Pern is the only work in Anne McCaffrey's Pern saga that isn't a novel, and it suffers because of it. It's the biography of Robinton, the incredibly gifted, perceptive, and beloved leader of the Harper craft.
Pros: An overdue look at an important character and important events. World developing info. Cons: Character personality is too static from youth to adulthood. Revisionism. Deification of Robinton.
Having become a fast fan of Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern series I have quickly embraced the wide range of prequels, perspectives and character studies with which she has embellished her world. One of the most beloved ...
Pros: Great Series, great dragons, great everything! Cons: Once you 'pop', you can't stop!
This series is just awesome. My mother read the first Pern book of the series, and couldn't stop. She then had to get the second one, and then all of the rest. Before the author could even finish writing the newest of the series, my mother was making...
Pros: ANNE'S IMAGINATION AND DEPTH INTO THE STORY Cons: NONE!!!!!
This book is really one of the best I have read. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. What happens in the book pulls you in and you want to know what happens all the time.
Pros: The life of a truly wonderful man. Cons: Minor differences between this book and other books in the milieu.
Master Robinton is one of the best-loved characters in all the many volumes of the Pern series. He is the wisest of the wise, and this book relates how he developed into his post as the person who keeps Pern's history alive through all the teaching songs...
Oh so many of us are addicted to the wonderful world of Pern. We drool just at the very idea of the next new book... This one more then meets the high standards readers have come to expect from this wonderful writer of dragons. The great Robinton...
Pros: Excellent plot, fast paced, and never dull. Cons: Very sad, at times.
Many years ago, I read Dragonflight, by Anne McCaffrey, soon followed by more of her delightful tales of the Dragonriders of Pern. Then I discovered the Harper Hall trilogy, and more about Masterharper Robinton. I longed to know more about this...
Anne McCaffery's books, particularly those of the Pern series, are all superb. She manages to capture in her style and tone what one imagines to be the atmosphere of an entirely different world. Pern is utterly unlike Earth but Master Robinton the...
Pros: Allows a look into what made the Masterharper what he is. Cons: There were a few minor details that are in conflict with other books in this series
After reading this book, it made me want to go back and read the harper hall series of books again. It allowed that series of books to become brand new. I have been hooked on this series of books for years since reading Dragonsdawn for the first time 6...
Pros: Gives more details on Robinton's life. It explains somethings only touched on in other books. Cons: Depressing at times, only read it if your in a good mood.
You must read the Masterharper of Pern if your going to be truly acquainted with the Dragonriders of Pern series. The book gives in-depth details of subjects only touched on in the other books. It shows you what Robinton's view point really is...
Pros: Great story, written by Anne McCaffrey Cons: Need to be familiar with Pern, is a little depressing
This is a very good book, one that I liked very much. I love the books McCaffrey writes, especially in the Pern series. This one book focuses on the travels of the young Robinton and of his close friends. It doesn't go to far, and you'll have to read...
Pros: Dazzling Cons: One or two minor discrepancies, noticed I'm sure only by the avid fans
Parrallel Earth Resources Negligable
A series that shows well just how fine the line is between science fiction and fantasy. Most readers start with Dragonflight or Dragonsong, although...
Pros: Is a truly brilliant book Cons: none, that i can find
This book is excelently well written and tells a great story. It is about Robinton, who is the Master harper and bascically tells the story of his life. I think the book is different from the others in some way, as it is very solum and melancoly and...
Pros: Wonderful writing, very real situations Cons: besides that none of it is true? None.
The first Anne McCaffrey book I ever read, I found hidden in my father's bookshelf, it was called Dragonsinger. Since that book, which I read at the age of 10, I have read almost every book written by this wonderful author. I have read all of the Pern...
Pros: Extremely interesting, fun to read, enlightening. Cons: A little unnecessary info; confusing timeline at times.
All I can say about this book is, WOW. If you like Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, and Dragondrums, this book completes your Harper Hall interest. And, undoubtedly, if you like the Harper Hall Trilogy, you probably fell in love with Master Robinton the very...
