A review by mastersal
Dragonsinger by Anne McCaffrey
4.0
June 2022
I must have read this a dozen times before so some of this rating is the nostalgic. This is one of my favourite worlds and this is a fine tale of a young girl becoming a Harper. Yes Menolly is perfect but that’s ok given all she has been through.
The book actually is a pretty quick read and Menolly wins everyone in a few months. It’s all pretty sweet and uncomplicated. I think the wish fulfillment of her character - being so good at everything she does and in a short amount of time- works as a second book in the trilogy where you got to see how bad her childhood was.
On the reread I can agree that this is a middle grade or children’s book and as that it works well. It’s uncomplicated and kids will like the wish fulfillment nature of the book.
Lots of fun !
