I just finished reading Dragon's Time, the 4th book in the New Adventures of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey and Todd McCaffrey. It was an OK read, but it had been quite a while since I had read the earlier books in the series and I found myself a little bit confused about who a character was. It uses time travel quite freely (as you might guess from the title) and sometimes it was confusing to know the time reference for a scene. (This book is no where NEAR as well put together as Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife.) But, with that said, it was a book set on Pern and it had dragons in it. What's not to like? I was a bit surprised at the number of scathing reviews on Goodreads. I borrowed this book from my library via Overdrive and as soon as I finished it, I jumped in and checked out the sequel Sky Dragons. I'm finding it a little bit clearer (or maybe it's just that I moved directly from one book to the next).
