Even though girls were not allowed to be Harpers, he taught her how to play all of the instruments, to sing the traditional songs and eventually to write music. Petiron, the Hold Harper, had found her to have an exceptional musical talent when she was very young. Menolly is the youngest daughter of Yanus, Holder of Half-Circle Sea Hold on the wild Eastern part of the northern continent on Pern and she is 15 years old at the beginning of the novel. Menolly was a minor supporting character in the third volume of the Dragonriders trilogy, The White Dragon, and I was surprised to find a complete novel built around the character, but I jumped in with no preconceptions. I immediately went looking for anything more about Pern and I encountered Dragonsong. I read the trilogy in a gulp, as the world of Pern and the life of the Weyr totally fascinated me. I first came onto Dragonsong after I had read The Dragonriders of Pern trilogy (which sets up the entire series of Pern books). The following review contains spoilers, so if you’re looking for a surprise in the book, please read this after you finish! Thanks!
