Drachenauge (Ein Roman aus der Welt der Drachenreiter von Pern)

The connection feels so deep and nuanced—I'm curious what inspired her to explore this relationship in such detail.

The story is full of power struggles, but I wondered if that made some characters feel a bit less fleshed out.

The world-building is so immersive; I wonder if it was based on any real-world traditions or entirely imagined from scratch.
