I cant think of enough words of praise
First, let me get my only complaint out of the way. I haaaaate the way she pronounced N'ton, very much, loathed it.
That being said The Harper Hall trilogy is one of my favorites. It always has been, I'm very sure it always will be.

Wonderful story
This book captured my heart. It was slow and sad in the beginning but blossomed into a beautiful story

This book is my go-to happy place.
What a charming world McCaffrey created. Lovely, dynamic characters lovingly developed. Narrator Sally Darling is one of the best ever. Really Kate Reading is the only one I've heard that is in the same league.

Personal taste
I love this story. I read it as a child. I think my taste of narrators is for a younger voice, otherwise this would be a 5

A favourite book of mine
This book introduced me to Anne McCaffrey’s writing. I have since read everything of hers I could find. I relate to the young girl who had a difficult time finding her place in the world.

A favorite, told instead of read
This is one of the first English books I read, and definitely a favorite. A relaxing retelling, hearing a different voice than my own inner voice.
The mixing is a little odd...some Chapters beginning a millisecond after the last word of the previous or a lengthy pause after. But that's a detail. Story still good

A beautiful coming of age novel
I first read Dragonsong in the 1980s in paperback, and enjoyed it every bit as much now, in 2024 as an audiobook. This book is brilliantly written and has aged very well, proving that fantasy doesn't need to be action packed, pre ent thr end of existence, be fullfull of teenage angst. A wonderful and timeless work. The reading is excellent.

This is a young YA Novel
This is clearly a YA novel, with basic language, I've clearly come in part way through a series as the last chapters are very much both rush and tying in with other novels, which was somewhat irritating
The lead character, Menolly, struggles with her lack of confidence, and often coming across as whiny. The story also tends to rely heavily on exposition, which slows the pacing.
However, I found it very useful as an audio to use to fall asleep.
