Commentary To Books The Renegades of Pern (Pern (Chronological Order) #22)
As long as the people of Pern could remember, the Holds had protected them from Thread, the deadly silver strands that fell from the sky and ravaged the land. In exchange for sanctuary in the huge stone fortresses, the people tithed to their Lord Holders, who in turn supported the Weyrs, whose dragons were Pern's greatest weapon against Thread.But not everyone on Pern was part of that system of mutual care and protection, particularly those who had been rendered holdless as punishment for wrongdoing. And there were some, like Jayge's trader clan, who simply preferred the freedom of the roads to the security of a hold. Others, like Aramina's family, had lost their holds through injustice and cruelty. For all the holdless, life was a constant struggle for survival. Then, from the ranks of the criminals and the disaffected, rose a band of renegades, led by the Lady Thella. No one was safe from Thella's depredations, and now her quarry was Aramina, reputed to have a telepathic link with dragons. But when Thella mistakenly vented her rage on Jayge's family, she made a dangerous mistake. For Jayge was bent on revenge . . . and he would never let her have the girl who heard dragons!

One of the Core Books of the Pern SequenceI have loved this entire series from day one. If you haven't already done so, begin with the first book and read forward. Although Renegades is terrific as a stand-alone, it is far more memorable and meaningful when read in its place in the Dragonriders of Pern sequence.Recommended for everyone.I'd give this about 3.5 stars. I still enjoy it, but for the most part Thella dragged it down. Her Pov bored me. I also didn't buy the Jayge Aramina love. He'd only seen her a couple of times before he saved her. I feel like it was almost more of a Lust that might have turned into love over the years of living together. Loved the stuff with Pieumer. I never did get to read Dragon Drums, but I've always enjoyed his character. I liked seeing the different pov's on things we'd seen in other books.
Always a fan of Pern and its many wonders. Thella is such a great character in regards to villains. You seriously want to see her maimed or dead, you dislike her that much. And I love the details of other things going on in the world of Pern at large, especially things pertaining to the Southern Continent. Those bits are actually probably my favorite.
Warning, this story is at times disturbingly violent. I think I may have enjoyed this one more on the second or third reading, though, because I already knew which characters would turn out to be super evil/crazy and violent, and how far they would go, so I was prepared. It's a story that ranges over about 15 years of the characters' lives, some of them children in the beginning, growing into adults with families of their own. The action flips between the Northern and Southern continents of
I like fantasy. I really do. I'm really starting to not like this Pern series. Every time I pick up a Pern book, I sigh with reluctance. Every time I pick up a Pern book, I would rather pick up my phone to play a time wasting game like solitaire or Sudoku. I think it's the writing style. It is awfully dry. Then the plotting. The ending of the primary plot about the primary protagonist and antagonist (I think primary) was telegraphed from the very beginning, down to the weapons. Then, there is
This was an fantastic book. There is so much happening and so many different stories within that you never grow bored. There are quite a few characters, but those from other books that you continue to follow. There are great characters and one terrible villain. There is continent hopping and history being uncovered. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.It's funny, reading through these books has been a lot of fun. Reading in chronological order has been fun. It has been so long since the first couple
