I think I decided that I was never going to re-read these for much the same reason I don't re-read the Valdemar book anymore. I have happy!shiny memories of them and don't want them spoiled.

I think it's a bit weird, and possibly telling, that I never forget Lessa's name, but even when I was originally reading the books, I always get F'lar and F'nor confused. It used to bother my so much when I was first reading the books that it was Lessa and L'sa too. Why don't the girls get cool dragonrider names?

There's a short story somewhere of Mirrim's Impression. I've read it and it involves the poor baby dragon crawling into the stands to find her if I remember correctly.

For years I thought I was mis-remembering Moreta until I finally figured out that I just remembered Nerilka and Moreta as the same book. I think I read them back to back and they became the same book in my head.

Is it just me or did McCaffery have a thing where she'd write a trilogy that was really two books that could be part of the same book plus a completely different book? I mean Dragonflight, Dragonquest, White Dragon and Dragonsong, Drangonsinger, and Dragondrums both follow that pattern.
