1: great fluff
I love reading about the whole powers that be series and it has been awhile since I've read the books. This was a great book to read while snowed in for awhile and it was nice fluff. Nothing serious or horribly deep and thought provoking. However, it was a good book. I can hardly wait to read the next one because it ends in a bit of a cliffhanger.

2: Simplistic sequel
I was disappointed by this book, because it seems less complex and exciting than the Power trilogy. Or maybe the novelty of Petaybee just wore off. I can only hope the boring nature of this book is because it sets the background for something exciting in its sequel.

3: Another Great Story of Petaybee!
What a great story! I love Anne Mccaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series, and so I read Powers that Be, and loved it as well! You do not need to have read the trilogy that preceded this book, but I HIGHLY recommend it. Those three books get you familiar with the planet and its inhabitants as well as give you a great understanding and love for the characters. I believe I enjoyed those books slightly more than this one, but only slightly. Looking forward to reading the next in the series, Maelstrom.

4: No Dragons!
Not Pern, no dragons. But the PTB (Powers That Be) series is just as good and just as soul satisfying as any of Ann McCafrey's books. If you don't read it, it's your great loss.

5: Continuing The Series
Although the cover of the book says it is a new series, it really is a continuation of the original Peytebee (sp?)story. I liked the original series both as one of the few fantasy stories I enjoy and as a break from the heavy-handedness of my murder mysteries, and it continues to fit that bill. The book is light and fast reading (as are all of McCaffrey's books) but is a pleasure to read. Anne McCaffrey has continued to write in an interesting way about a fantasy type subject and I will continue to read her work; I look forward to any new books she might write.
