The Seventh Wing

I am going back and rereading some stories and putting reviews in on those that I have not previously reviewed.

I had forgotten part of this story, so glad that I went back to reread it.  The story was compelling in the fact that I found the two main characters and several of the auxiliary characters very interesting.  Taat said, I do think some additional character development would have helped.  I think we needed a little more background information.  

The story flowed well except for one chapter that I found awkward while reading.  The writing was good and got sharper as the story progressed.  The plotting was a little simple, but the author indicated that this was either his first story or among the first so that is easily understandable.  

I did find some of the physical violence in the story unsettling but it was explained and did serve a purpose in the story that I don't think could have been developed without it.

I do recommend this story; there are a few issues but my interest in any stories that use the Dragonriders of Pern by Anne Mc Caffrey; allowed me to overcome then.
