Fortunately there are plenty in the series to go back and re-read. I think I first read them a good 25 years ago and they still hold up today.SQThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251030404220909306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-90356857361113999102011-11-23T08:41:39.850-08:002011-11-23T08:41:39.850-08:00Also sad to hear the news.

I read the first one because I got the chance to meet her at a publishing convention about a decade ago, where she was signing a new "YA" edition (repackaged version) of Dragonflight. I figured that was a sure sign I should give the book a try, and I wasn't disappointed. While I haven't read any of the recent books, it's nice for fans to know that it will likely continue on in the hands of her son, who's been writing with her (and I think on his own) for awhile now.Jim Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11674061625786617635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-17997063816105370982011-11-23T07:24:49.489-08:002011-11-23T07:24:49.489-08:00Yes, Sad to hear this.
