Summary

Teenage Aramina has the unusual ability to hear dragons. Her keen perception causes dismay to her mother, who fears Aramina will desert her family and commit to living the life of a dragonrider. In the land of Pern, Aramina's family is known as the "holdless," nomads who roam the land to hide from bandits. Aramina must find a way to exploit her unique talent without sacrificing the family she loves. The Girl Who Heard Dragons is narrated by the accomplished actress Constance Towers, best known for her starring role in the daytime TV drama Capitol.

Badly abridged

Didn't realise this was abridged till after I had bought it. It is read by a lady with an irritating american accent and as a consequence is not easy to listen to. It is a collection of short stories all of which feel unfinished and have very abrupt endings. All in all a disappointing book

This is why abridged stories should be avoided.

Not sure if this is the case in the original book, but it isn't mentioned in its description, but it reads as three short unrelated stories, not one complete tale.

Badly abridged

Just 3 short stories, only the first about the "Girl who heard dragons", the other two were just generic sf. Very disappointing.
