RIP Anne McCaffrey
Nov. 22nd, 2011 02:19 pmReported by tor.com that Anne McCaffrey has passed away.
I'll always remember her for the Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, and Dragondrums trilogy. I love the academy milieu in SF&F, where young people step out of their ordinary lives into a setting where they can truly shine for the first time, but they must earn their success. I didn't care so much about the dragonriders, but these-- well, these books sang to me.
