" I'm re-reading this so that I remember about the world of the Pernese before diving into a couple of Anne McCaffrey's books that have been sitting on my shelf unread. These are disappointing to revisit. The first time I read them was in 2006 and I loved every moment, but now, I just found there was too many loose ends in this book, many of which were left untied at the end. Why is there no more mention of Kylara? What happens with Meron of Nabol? So many questions left unanswered. It just seemed so sloppy to me, but these books are still a guilty pleasure of mine. I got through it pretty quickly. "
