After my comment that Dragonflight stood up well in the reread, I hate to report that this one didn't. Of course, being on antibiotics and feeling generally rotten may have had something to do with my attitude. My general feeling is that it was too long and too diffuse. There were several plot lines that could have been central, and somehow none of them were. It just seemed to ramble on. Another problem may be that it seemed to me to require the background provided in the Harper Hall books which overlap this trilogy. A host of characters appear which are developed in the Harper Hall series without any introduction to speak of. Curiously, the Harper Hall books do not seem to be available for kindle - and they are not where they should be on my shelves, either.
I do like the way she changed the central characters in each. Still, while Jaxom is an appealing character, he doesn't stand up well to Lessa in the first book or F'nor in the second.
