I really enjoyed her Pern books. Don’t know how I came to read Dragonriders of Pern, but she did create a fun world.

For those not in the know, Pern was a technologically backwards world where, when a dragon would hatch, it would “impress” on a rider and become their bosom companion, making that person quite special. Great Fantasy concept.

Better yet, Pern was a technologically backward world that began technologically advanced enough to genetically create dragons and had in fact been settlers from space. At least till the violent earthquakes of the southern continent had driven them north. Threadfall was a recurring problem as well.
