Relation In Favor Of Books Nerilka's Story (Pern #8)

Everyone, holder and dragonrider alike, pitched in to help--except Nerilka's father, who refused to share Fort Hold's bounty with the other holds. So, ashamed of her family and determined to do her part, Nerilka packed up medicines and supplies and sneaked off to aid her people.Her quest to help wherever she was most needed led her finally to Ruatha Hold, where Lord Alessan was frantically inoculations against the dread plague.

Nerilika had long ago abandoned the hope of mariage and a home of her own. Now she found happiness in being useful and appreciated---first the Healers and then Alessan made very clear that they were grateful for her help.

She had no idea that her new path would change the course of her life forever.

Write-Up Based On Books Nerilka's Story (Pern #8)

Ehh...I find as I return to Pern stories in my old age and re-read them that I like the depiction of the women's lot less and less. Nerilka has a strong voice, and this ancillary tale is engaging - but I genuinely disliked the depiction of her "romance", if you can even use that word, with Alessan.More like 2.5 stars for the unfulfilling relationship Nerilka ends up in; but McCaffrey is still a talented writer with an impressive vocabulary, and I must award style points where points are due.

I feel like this is a can't miss companion to Moreta's story. If you like Moreta, you need Nerilka's Story in your library too! A definite departure though, written in first person from the perspective of an older Nerilka looking back.

I can see why this was where I quit on the series on my first attempt many years ago. This isn't a terrible story, but it doesn't do anything to move the overall plot of the series forward and does very little to build important characters or to enrich the reader's understanding of Pern. It feels extra.

Another fantastic story of Pern. This one is during the same time as Moreta. Nerilka is a beautiful soul who just can't stand how her father is with the people in her hold and the area around. Her father is a cold man that I haven't liked in either book. She has had enough of his nonsense, so she leaves the hold to find her own way. She is a brilliant character who puts meaning into her life by helping others. She is good at what she does and she thrives. Her mother taught her everything she

I highly recommend reading Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern first, as it gives more of the overarching framework.I have always liked the change to first-person POV, and telling the story from the vantage point of a very minor character fascinates me. I normally like to start with The Chronicles of Pern: First Fall and Dragonsdawn, working my way chronologically through Pern's history. But while in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided to try reading this to determine if reading about plagues

This is a good story, but there is some overlap with Moreta's story, and not a whole lot besides.

If McCaffrey and taken Moreta and Nerilka and somehow made them into one book with alternating perspectives, I think it would have made a much more engaging story. It gets a little tedious reading the same dialogue in this book that was in Moreta. And again, the ending of this book is spoiled in the previous one, so there are no surprises. It's a nice enough story, but not one of the best in the Pern series.
