On Pern, Lessa rises from exile and bonds with a queen dragon just as the planet faces a deadly return of Thread, forcing rival factions to unite in a fight for survival.
Selected by: Josh
Club Verdict
A dragon-heavy science-fantasy pick with big adventure energy and classic paperback weirdness.
Josh's May pick drops the club into Pern, where Lessa claws her way out of servitude, bonds with a queen dragon, and gets pulled into a fight for the survival of the entire planet. Expect big dragon energy, revenge plotting, telepathic bonds, and classic science-fantasy worldbuilding with a slightly feral paperback pulse.
This page now follows the Peter Pan discussion format too, so the verdict can eventually track the real shape of the conversation instead of stopping at a one-line summary and a score.
