His Voice Changes3
This book focuses on Menolly's young friend, the irrepressible Piemur and what happens to him when his voice starts to break. It is a don't miss for fans of McCaffrey and for Harper Hall as it does extend the understanding of the "other tunes" a harper can play in Pern's society.

I would not recommend this book as the first one to read for someone not familiar with the series. The plot suffers structural flaws and loses steam. Some themes and concepts are repeated here without the force they had when originally presented in other Pern books. The ending seems a little contrived as if the author is starting to write to a formula.

DRAGON DRUMS5
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AN AVID BOOK READER AND HAVE COLLECTED MY FAVORITES OVER THE YEARS, BUT WHEN I READ DREAGONS DAWN WHICH LEAD ME TO THE OTHER ANN MCCAFFERY BOOKS LIKE DRAGONDRUMS, I WAS HOOKED. I HAVE NOW COLLECTED ALL OF THE PERN BOOKS THAT BOTH MOTHER AND SON MCCAFFERY HAVE WRITTEN AND IT'S ONLY TAKEN ME SIX MONTHS TO COLLECT THEM ALL. DRAGONDRUMS AND THE OTHER HARPER HALL BOOKS ARE WONDERFUL IN THE FACT THAT WE GET TO SEE HOW THE BACKGROUND SUPPORT PEOPLE IN THESE BOOKS COME TO PLAY A ROLE IN THE DRAGONRIDERS LIVES. FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO ASK WHY ABOUT EVERY LITTLE THING, THESE BOOKS ARE WONDERFUL. THANKS, MCCAFFERY'S.

Dragons!5
The harper Hall Trilogy is my favorite set by McCaffrey and interestingly the first books I read by her. I love dragons and there for dragon stories, particularly ones were dragons are not mindless monsters of destruction, so it would be odd for me not to like these books. The story is very original and the characters well written. If your not sure of getting into the Pern books, this is the series to read! Dragondrums is the last in this set and it does not disappoint, well maybe the fact that its such a short book.
