Advantages: This is a more subtle story. Disadvantages: The pace is slower too
Menolly loves Music, and she loves Harper Petiron for teaching it to her, her father disapproves as traditionally only men can be Harpers, but that doesn't matter to Monolly, at least not until Petiron Dies.. Flying in the face of tradition, Menolly leaves the sea-hold, and moves into a cave with some Fire-lizards. Trapped in the cave during threadfall, Fire-lizard eggs start to hatch, trying to keep them safe Menolly impresses several, her new friends ... ...almost as shy as her new friends, and she has a lot of adventures, trying to come to terms with the loss of her dreams, when a dragon rider rescues her from threadfall, she is in for many surprises.
