From Kirkus Reviews
McCaffrey's latest rummage through the archives of planet Pern (Dragonseye, 1997, etc.) has unearthed Robinton, the Masterharper of Pern, and the circumstances surrounding the advent of weyrleader F'lar and Lessa, the first woman Dragonrider. It's a time when no Thread has fallen for centuries (it's due in 50 years or so), and five of the six weyrs stand inexplicably empty of Dragons and Riders. Young Rob, rejected by his father, is a musical prodigy and has the ability to speak telepathically with dragons. As Rob's musical and diplomatic skills grow, he becomes friendly with Dragonrider F'lon and also earns the enmity of Fax, a holder who refuses to allow his people to be educated (the traditional role of the Harpers). Rob marries, but his wife dies of a fever; F'lon's wife dies in childbirth; Fax, meanwhile, by force and trickery dominates the north and threatens the very basis of Pern society. Then, after F'lon is killed in a contrived duel, Fax invades Ruatha Hold, and now Rob must enlist the aid of F'lon's son F'lar to defeat Fax. Covers well-trodden ground in more detail than hitherto; presumably, most dragonfans will find it satisfying enough. -- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

From School Library Journal
YA-Set just prior to Dragonflight, Masterharper details the life, loves, and heartbreaks of Robinton, Pern's most beloved harper. Readers follow him through a childhood filled with rejection and neglect by his Mastercomposer father, the loss of his wife, the death of his best friend, to his becoming Masterharper of Pern. This is McCaffrey at her best, combining excellent writing with vivid settings and detailed, fully fleshed-out characters. The book would be best read after Dragonflight (1986) and Dragonquest (1979, both Ballantine), but can stand alone.

Format:Taschenbuch
I liked this book. I did read a few things that had me confused because they were different than the rest of the Pern series. But overall it helped me understand where a few people came from, like Camo and Sebell.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
With Masterharper of Pern, McCaffrey continues her attempt to fill all possible voids in the history of her beloved planet Pern. Although it is well written, and the characters are believable, the book does not cry out for me to change pages as the Dragonsong trilogy did. Overall a good addition to the collection of Pernlovers everywhere, but not a good introduction to McCaffrey for newcomers.
Format:Taschenbuch
This story is generally about the life of Masterharper Robinton, prior to Threadfall, with additional details about Petiron, Fax, and others. The book does not entirely stand alone, as it is necessary to have read other books about Pern to establish the setting. It does not always mesh correctly with other books in the Pern series (for example, the gratuitous mention of Thella in Chapter XVIII does not match the details in "Renegades of Pern"). The book is fast paced at some points, and a little slow in others, with side digressions into different segments of Robinton's personal life. It is a good story if you want to fill in additional details about Pern, including some of the inter-relationships between people, and the development of some characters or incidents that show up in other books which are later chronologically (although published earlier). Overall, the characters are well developed, including the relationship between Robinton and his parents, and the various sub-plots wind together well.

Hopefully not the last
The MASTERHARPER OF PERN is one of McCaffrey's best novels. Obviously if you don't care for Robinton as a character, then you probably wouldn't enjoy the book. Lesen Sie weiter...

A little too morbid!
I'm a big McCaffrey fan but this is not one of the better ones. It gives a good amount of background information, but it's kinda sad. Lesen Sie weiter...
