That was my first Pern book. Loved it. Found Ruth a fascinating outlier especially after reading more books and seeing what a "normal" dragon is like. It's possible a reread would be less because of your point, it's a teen perspective, and I was a teen.

Favorite Pern might be Dragonsdawn, simply because it's harder scifi to explain why it's all there.

Oh yes, I'm looking forward to learning more about the origins of the world! My favorite so far was Dragonsinger. It was so wholesome seeing Menolly come out of her shell, and I loved getting to see Harper Hall.
