Jaxom and Ruth (his dragon) are too young to join the men, and too old to play children's games. Ruth's disadvantage (she was the runt and is still small - and the only white dragon!) is soon forgotten as she gains fame talking with the fire-lizards. Jaxom grows up and becomes respected as he moves through a series of adventures. While DragonFlight is the first of the series (and also fantastic!), I found it okay to read out of turn. The books stand alone well.

Like most third books in trilogies, this one felt like a let-down. Oh, sure, it was entertaining, but it lacked all of the fire of the first book.

    I was visiting my son over fifteen years ago. I couldn't sleep, so I asked him and his wife if they had anyth8ing I could read. His wife suggested I try The White Dragon. I wasn't much of a sci fi fan, but I needed to read.

    I became a fan and read every book I could written about Pern.

    I actually secured a copy (2nd hand) of this cover, that means I have two different covers to this book. Love this one but not so keen on my original cover though the artwork is more surrel. Evelyn
