I'm on The White Dragon by Anne McCaffrey. This is my 6th Pern book. It's not my favorite, but overall I am still greatly enjoying the world. The main character is in an interesting predicament and so far I've found the way he navigates it to be relatable. His characterization also feels quite realistic for an 18 year old brought up in his circumstances.

    That was my first Pern book. Loved it. Found Ruth a fascinating outlier especially after reading more books and seeing what a "normal" dragon is like. It's possible a reread would be less because of your point, it's a teen perspective, and I was a teen.

    Favorite Pern might be Dragonsdawn, simply because it's harder scifi to explain why it's all there.

    Oh yes, I'm looking forward to learning more about the origins of the world! My favorite so far was Dragonsinger. It was so wholesome seeing Menolly come out of her shell, and I loved getting to see Harper Hall.
