Heart's Blood

Heart's Blood I am reading the fantastic book Heart's Blood, by Jane Yolen. The book is the second book in a trilogy called The Pit Dragon Trilogy. I think the book is absolutely awesome. First of all, it is creative, dramatic, and very interesting. It starts off very fast so you don't get bored. One of my favorite parts is when Heart's Blood the dragon fights against a large black dragon. It was such a good scene, that the night I was reading it, I couldn't put the book down! Also, Jane Yolen wrote other great books like Dragon Boy, and Here There Be Dragons.

The Best Book

This book was one of the best books I have ever read. I read alot, I mean reading is basiclly my whole life! My family and I were in the book store one day and said she would buy us all one book. One book? How was it possible to choose? There were so many! I started to scan the sci-fi/fantasy section(my personal favorite genre) when I came to a book called Dragon's Blood. I love fantasy, adventure, mid-evil, dragons kind of stuff so I stopped to read the back. When I finished, I was certain this was the right book to choose. I took it home and read it in 2-3 days. I couldn't put it down. The word choice was excellent, because even though I'm only 13, I understood everything. I couldn't stop thinking and talking about it so my older sister read it. She loved it too. (...) I knew there were more books after Dragon's Blood. This was my chance to use it! I can't wait for my new books to come in the mail! If you are reading this and havn't read these books, I seriously recomend you do a.s.a.p. All books have effects on your life, this one made me wonder if there really is another planet with dragons!

ONE OF THE BEST

This book (along with its companions) are one of the best books I have ever read in my life! The expression and feel of the wording makes it come to life inside a persons mind and makes what is just a dream come alive. My congrats to the author (Jane Yolen, who has written WONDERFUL books in the past and hopefully more to come [especially books about mythical creatures such as this]!). I also wish to say that any one who likes to read should, read this book as it teaches lessons in life, as well as in imagination.

A great sequel to Dragon's Blood

The second of the Pit Dragon series, Heart's Blood, is every bit as good as the first! Jakkin ventures into the dangerous and unstable world of politics and rebels to save Akki, whom no one has heard from for a long time. At the same time, he must take care of his dragon, Heart's Blood, and her hatchlings. This series is excellently written, with great details and charactariztion! I highly reccomend it to anybody!

Jakkin risks everything to save his love, Akki.

This book is just as good as the original, Dragon's Blood. This book has a very interesting story, but it has quite a few plot twists and can become confusing at times. The basic plot is this: Jakkin who has recently won his title of master, is getting used to life with Heart's Blood, who is now pregnant with eggs. But a mysterious political figure named Golden appears to Jakkin and Sarkkhan telling them that Akki has dissapeared. Now Jakkin is torn between Heart's Blood and Akki, and trying to discover manhood. He travels to the Rokk, and leads Heart's Blood through a great many pit fights. It is a great story of love and courage, with a touching end. If you like dragons, you will love this book. Be sure to read Dragon's Blood before you read this book, so you understand what's going on. Also be sure to catch A Sending of Dragons after you have read Heart's Blood. This book was easy to read, but it is not exactly adult reading material. I would recommend this book for anyone ages 10-15 who likes dragons.
