The White Dragon by Anne McCaffrey

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is the third novel in the Dragonriders of Pern series, and it was nominated for a Hugo award and placed third in the Locus award for Best Novel. Back in the first novel, Dragonflight, Lessa was fighting against the people who took over her family’s domain. But as a consequence of that fight, a young man named Jaxom becomes the Lord Holder of that domain (called Ruatha Hold). Normally a Lord Holder would stick to administering their domain and stay out of the affairs of dragons and their riders, but he manages to impress (i.e. bond with) a very unusual white dragon who has an ability to always navigate through time.

I have this as part of the three-volume set The Dragonriders of Pern which includes the first three novels in the series.
