Dragonseye is quite possibly the most well-written novel Anne McCaffrey has ever written. Certainly the most well-written Pern novel, bar none. Well-formed characters. Good plot. A villain you love to hate. Believeable heroes. And, of course, Thread. Also an interesting look at the craft system while it's still developing from its origins into its look in the Ninth Pass, or even in Moreta's time.I know I hope that she'll come back to the Second Pass with more stories.
