About this listen
The third Dragonriders of Pern novel from the New York Times best seller Anne McCaffrey.
There has never been a dragon quite like Ruth - he's small, agile, able to communicate with fire lizards and has an uncanny ability to know exactly when he is. His bond with the young Lord Holder Jaxom is uniquely strong thanks to their unlikely connection and the fact that nearly everybody else on Pern thought the diminutive dragon wouldn't survive to adulthood. With Jaxom set to inherit control of his Hold, the pair is banned from fighting Thread, their flying time strictly limited at the insistence of the Weyrleaders and Lord Holders.
Stuck halfway between the Holds and Weyrs, Jaxom and Ruth decide to train in secret, learning how to fight Thread and how to fly through time. Their illicit flights seem like a small rebellion against the expectations of their elders, until they find themselves in the path of danger and in a position to prevent the biggest disaster of all....

Excellent
I first read this book when I was a teenager roughly 12/13 years old in my school library ..... now I've heard it at age 48 nearly 36 years later - still interesting and entertaining all these years later - I am blessed with a good memory - so I have to give myself a good break between books - but even now after all this time I was anticipating from memory some of the characters reactions! 😁

Terrible Narrator
The mis~pronunciation of well known Pern words was bad enough but the voice of Ruth was awful.

The white dragon
I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed the Pern books. It's more than 30 years since I read them and they are just as enjoyable today as then. The only thing I didn't enjoy about this one was the narration. The narrator has some peculiar ideas about the different voices, especially Jaxom's dragon Ruth. Other than that it's 5 stars all round for excellent story, and characters that are delightfully 3 dimensional.

Performance
At several points in the reading words were either mispronounced or missed altogether, which jarred me out of the narrative. Also his dragon voices made them sound too rough even when the words were gentle. Several of the human voices also did not fit well with the characters they were meant to portray.

The best dragon rider book.
The story is great but the narrator isn't very good in my opunion & the creepy voice used for Ruth is really bad. Frankly it ruins the character almost completely & detracts from the performance & story, which is a massive shame.

Good audible book
Enjoyed this audible book (read the paperback 35yrs ago). Narrator was different to the 1st 2 books of this series but found I preferred him.
