It wasn't, in any of the ways that matter.LadyRhianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10836206736245950979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15107283.post-6075740080145049462011-11-22T00:36:09.358-05:002011-11-22T00:36:09.358-05:00I do sincerely regret the passing of the PERN magi...I do sincerely regret the passing of the PERN magic that I've loved for many years. <br />This Todd may have a "new direction" for Pern but it is no longer the planet I fell in love with so many years ago. In my 78 years I've seen many writers come and go, and am waiting till he is forced to stop killing off the= up to his event ==mostly healthy dragons. I will no longer waste money on any book with his name on it. <br /><br />What I would love to see are new Pern books written by the grand master's previous companions who wrote with her. Perhaps Anne herself could outline her idea of a new book and have these two, Elizabeth Moon and Jody Lynn Nye write the new books. There are also others who have written with her, far more successfully than her own son. <br />Others have done this when the original writers have been unable to continue their popular series. <br />I will continue to read again the old magic ones and totally avoid any new ones with her son's name on them. They are of a place I don't like and never want to read about again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
