This is the second read of this book for me, both times I struggled to complete it. The first time I stalled in the several iterations of the alien civilization, the second time when the storyline side-tracked into a long, historical catch-up, and again into scientific explanations. Granted, the writing came back to the story line, both times, but ultimately these are characters and a story line that I can't get interested in.

Has a great summary of things to-date as the opening chapter so it can stand on its own.
I'm very familiar with the Pern universe so not sure how this would be at portraying the world building on its own. And this is written by Anne McCaffrey alone so the writing is excellent.

Fascinating walk in the world of art crime by someone directly involved. Great information on how to acquire knowledge on art, not the illegal stuff and what types of art people are willing to acquire legally and illegally.

A great mix of character-building and action. Bad-ass nuns and an opening sentence up there with The Gunslinger.

It didn't age well. The philosophy and language is really outdated for me.
