Les Ciels De Pern

The mix of dragon lore and a sci-fi setting is unique and intriguing. I wonder what inspired her to create this hybrid world and how she balanced those elements.

The story had such exciting moments but the middle felt a bit slower. Was that intentional to build world or character depth?

It adds a layer of depth to the story, but I’m curious whether McCaffrey intended this to be a central theme or if it evolved during writing.
