[Sca-cooks] Pern Critters (was Fantasy Foods)

[Lisa]

The two most recent are by Anne's son, Todd, but he seems to have hit a very
similar style to hers.  I've only read one of them, but did read an excerpt
of the second and am looking forward to reading it.  I have to agree that a
few of the pern books seemed to be a bit slow and just reiterating history
but I enjoyed them anyway.  Todd's stories though seem to be more historic
than "current" time... but then again you can only get so many stories from
"current" characters without being redundant.
