Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I think you can make a strong case for Dragonriders of Pern as a fantasy gamechanger. It's obviously an early dragonrider series, which is now a staple of the genre, but also pioneers some of the Weird Sex elements that have really come...
  • She might enjoy Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern books
  • go straight to the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey.
  • The *Dragonriders of Pern* to be specific. A great series.
  • Check out Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern, it definitely qualifies.

Cons

  • Dragonriders of Pern: what Eragon wanted to be, but definitely more for teens.
  • Things I've read, that was kinda okay, but not my favourite: Dragonriders of Pern
  • after trying Dragonriders of Pern and being shocked at how much sexual assault and rapey vibes the whole thing had, (when I originally thought the series was supposed to be pretty tame)

Also, maybe the Dragonriders of Pern books? Old and he's probably read them if he's that into dragons but heck, a good comfort read can cheer me up in dark times.

I would second this. I read these 30 years when I was a kid and they still hold a special place in my heart.
