Seconding what alexseanchai said about the Pern deconstructions. They're really incredible. And it's not just that they're well-crafted. Every little issue I had that just gave me the feeling that something was a bit off about the characters or the world, you've analysed just about to death. And that might seem insignificant, but consider that most of that is stripping the charming veneer from abusers and rapists and suddenly it becomes a public service. With cocowhats. Because all the best kinds of public service involve horrified coconuts.
