*punches F'lar in the face* (he spends the entire first novel being a douchenozzle. The second one starts promisingly, and then he makes a list of the female leaders and decides they'd be useless at the all-boys meeting he's going to--where all the boys act like two-year olds and make more of a hash than the women would have)

He's not very bright.

Dragonsdawn was actually pretty decent. But I've a thing for colonies and desperate measures and dragons.

Moreta was all right, too.

It's just some of the earliest stuff (Dragonflight, Dragonquest, The White Dragon) which is a bit iffy--and White Dragon is somewhat better, though it still has its issues (like being entirely confusing if you've never read Dragondrums, but there's also stuff that happens in WD that ONLY MAKES SENSE if you've read the stuff she wrote LATER--like Dragonsdawn, or Renegades of Pern). OK, and the part where Holder women are supposed to be TOTALLY LIKE PURE, but it's a-ok for Jaxom to go around sexing any and everyone up (and never reflects on him, and doesn't even get into the part where she can't refuse his advances with him being her Lord and stuff, and ARGH, MCCAFFREY).

ahem. I may have a lot of feelings about this.

I remember liking Moreta. I think I got up through Dragonsdawn and I don't think I read Dragondrums (I believe I mislaid my copy). I can't remember why I stopped reading it (though given the time, it was probably a lack of availability for the next book in the series) and I've forgotten enough of earlier books that if I restarted it, I would need to reread the older ones. I figure at some point, I'll just suck it up and speed through the earlier books to get to the good ones.
