Okay I liked this book, it's alright science fantasy, heavy on the fantasy...

But god the relationship between the main characters is awful and doesn't even really matter to the story. The story isn't improved in anyway by its marginal inclusion, it's just baffling. Why why why it's so gross

Just a few notes: Dragonflight is a fairly light SF/fantasy novel that has held up well over the 35 years or so since I last read it. There were more typos than I remembered! There is more visual imagery than in Dragon's Kin, and I wonder whether that is a trademark difference between Anne's writing and her son's.
