In the world of Pern, Harpers with great musical ability are held in extreme regard. This is why the young, mischievous Piemur carries himself with so much pride, for he sings like an angel. But when his voice begins to change, Piemur loses all confidence and questions his role within Harper Hall.
Incapable of singing, Piemur is sent on various errands by Masterharper Robinton, including the task of learning the complicated beats of the messenger drums. Piemur has no clue of the grand adventures that await him, and he'll need to find the courage within himself to survive.
When his boy soprano voice begins to change, Piemur is drafted by Masterharper Robinton to help with political work and is sent on missions that lead him into unusual and sometimes dangerous adventures.

I Also Recommend:
This is the third book in the Harper Hall trilogy of McCaffrey; it adds a new chapter to the Harper Hall story that began with Dragonsong, in a more mature way, and continues the story of the Fire Lizards of Pern. Beloved characters Menolly, Piemur, Robinton and Sebel are revisited and we find out more details about their lives and those of other prominent people of Pern that are not touched upon in the parent trilogy of Dragonriders. This book follows Dragonsinger (luckily with more thrill and story) and preceeds The White Dragon.

This was a good book and I love the trilogy, but I think the ending was a little weak. I think the author needed to tell us a little more about Piemur at the end and his fate. Don't get me wrong, this was still a very good book and I loved Piemur, but I just wished there was a little more.

This book is an excellent ending for the fantastic Haper of Pern Trilogy. The book itself is about the young Piemur and his exciting adventures away from the ever musical Harper Hall and his travels in the wilderness. This book is full of wonder and exciting adventures that make it almost impossible for the reader to put down since its captive storyline enchants the reader and makes his/her desire for adventures ever more growing. Overall, this book has an exquisite plot and makes an excellent finish to the trilogy. I give this wonder to literature five stars out of five.
