Was supposed to be bad! (Or at least shlocky!) I believe that McCaffrey
stated it was intended as an SF parody of romance novels, or something
like that. I've never seen anyone who really took it seriously (or
never until now...)

McCaffrey's women are anything if wimpy. They are romantic, because
she writes romances (which happen to use SF and fantasy settings), but
they are also strong. I'd hardly say Lessa 'falls' into F'lar's arms,
for example.
