justjukka: Both Novik and McCaffrey take great care in developing the worlds for their respective series. If you like one, you may very well like the other.
sandstone78: Bonds with dragons in science-fictional societies- I read these two series in my early teen years and they are inextricably intertwined in my memory.
allisongryski: They both have a fascinating fantasy world setting with some parallels (weyrs/dragons vs aeries/angels) and important traditions that have been forgotten and must be renewed. They also both have a duty-driven hero, a strong, resourceful heroine who begins the story as a servant but was not born to that life. Even the nature of the romance, which is something like "arranged" is similar between the stories.… (meer)
humouress: Although the [Castle Glower] series is aimed at a younger audience, it also deals with the issues and the wonder of bonding with a mythical creature.
aulandez: Lost World setting in which simplicity has been used to avoid the past failings of humanity. Similar use of sci-fi tools, similar characterization, straightforward yet not overly simple.
TheBooknerd: Both epic series feature a young but clever leader, his intrepid female "partner in crime", great world-building, and -- oh yeah! Dragons!

Boekbeschrijving
Het verre land Pern wordt bedreigd door de vernietigende kracht van de zilveren draden. De machtige draken die het land bevolken hebben Pern eeuwenlang tegen de gevaren van buitenaf beschermd. Hun macht en vindingrijkheid worden keer op keer tot het uiterste beproefd.
Met een gulden beweging recht Ramoth haar glanzende rug en springt met gespreide vleugels in de lucht. Na haar volgen nog zeven bronzen schepsels; de krachtige slagen van hun vleugels strooien opwarrelend zand in de ogen van de toekijkende Weyr-mensen.
Op de rug van Ramoth voelt Lessa zich oppermachtig. Het is alsof haar ziel opstijgt en haar lichaam trilt van opwinding en verwachtingsvolle spanning.
