The oft-repeated quote in the book, "We might not be able to break time but we can cheat it" is rather apt, for me - because this is all Todd McCaffrey does in this story - CHEAT. It's akin to a fantasy writer using magic as the cure-all for the conflicts and problems his protagonists face, only in this case it's time-travel. The cavalier way he treats time-travel in sharp contrast to the way his mother first introduced it to us quite spoils the Pern world in my opinion. And the monumentally slow pace of the book just made it boring for me - I spent over half of it skimming. I just couldn't feel any connection to any of the characters. I also found it overly dramatic, and once again bordering on corny, as I have found all his books. He has potential as a writer but I think he needs to stop playing in his mom's sandbox, or at least restrict himself to short stories that won't spoil the world for the fans.
