I still love the world-building. There are certainly elements of the early books that haven't aged well (particularly around the dragons' mating flights, but hey, the first book was written in 1968).

I had a lot less patience for reading about Menolly's abusive family this time around. It's important to show her character development, but it hurts a little to read.

I do plan to continue reading the series. I think Dragondrums was the first Pern novel I'd ever read. I hadn't actually read Dragonflight back in the day, so there's even an element of discovery there!
