Summary: Dragon's Blood
Review: It's a pretty good book, very detailed and gives the reader a pretty good idea on how life is with dragons. Among all the dragon related stories I've read, this one is by far the best. Although I think that children younger than ten or eleven will have some trouble understanding the climax and plot of the story.

Summary: Dragon's Blood
Review: The Pit Dragons Trilogy is one of the most delightful series of books I have ever had the pleasure of encountering. It consists of the stories of a boy and girl, Jakkin and Akki, who live on the planet Austar, a former penal-colony with a master/bond-slave societal system, where telepathic dragons are bred and trained for fighting in the Pits.One of the things that makes the whole trilogy so good is the ingenious way in which Yolen develops her world of Austar. The culture, politics, ecology, and dragon- physiology (complete with endearing anatomy diagrams) are brilliantly conceived and interwoven to create a wholly believable climate into which the reader is inextricably drawn. I have often thought with interest about the similarities between the Austarian culture and the early Australian culture (remember, Australia was also a penal colony) not to mention the similarity betwen the two names. The books are also about the perplexities of growing up, and the love which Jakkin and Akki have for each other, and for the dragons in the stories, are what make it so valuable from a human standpoint. And most of all, it is Jane's unique witty, humorous and poetic writing that keeps the whole saga going. The first of the books - Dragon's Blood - is the simplest of all three stories. Placed entirely in the setting of the dragon-breeding nursery of Master Sarkkhan, it tells of Jakkin's fight to free himself of the bond-system by securing a dragon hatchling, and rearing it in the wilderness to train as a fighter in the Pits - assisted by the resourceful Akki.

Summary: Exellent book!!!
Review: I for one didn't mind that the author didn't describe Jakkin the book requires you to go inside the book and be Jakkin or be Akki or just be with them and I like that in a book where you are the main character. Like I said it was an exellent book.

Summary: Absolutely love it!
Review: Upon reading the back of the book, I was a little reluctant to begin it. However, as soon as I read a few pages, all my worries at disliking this wonderful book soon melted away. I love most of the characters, especially Akki, who is not one of those girly-girl-help-me-save-me types. Instead she is independent and stubborn which is how I like my characters. The way Jane Yolen displays the characters' likes and dislikes and how she shows how hard it is for them to make a big discision makes them all the more real. Read it. You won't be dissapointed.

Summary: A little hard to understand... but still a good book.
Review: Yolen is a very creative writer, but I found some parts hard to understand. I think that she should have done more explaining at the beginning of the book. Also the end was kind of predictable. Still, I liked this book a lot, and the dragon fights were awesome! To anyone that liked this book I also reccomend the Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C Wrede, if you like a little less sci-fi and a little more fantasy.

Summary: Good book!
Review: My favorite thing about _Dragon's_Blood_ was the character of Akki. She is great! This book made me anxious to read the sequel, Heart's Blood, and I hope she features more in that one and we get to find out more about her. Another thing I like about this book is that it is not aimed toward little kids. It would be just as interesting for teenagers or even adults--Jakkin is fifteen. (In fact, parents should be warned that it may be inappropriate for young children because of references to prostitution.) The futuristic world is believable and engaging. At first you will think it is stupid the way EVERY character has a double K in their name, but don't worry, that is explained later. (Although I hope it will be explained more fully in Heart's Blood.) All in all, a good book, but I think the sequel will be even better.

Summary: Excellent!!!!!
Review: This trilogy is by far the best I've ever read, and believe me, Ive read alot. Jakkin's advantures are so picturesque and interesteing and the cliffhanger ending makes you wantto read the next one.

Summary: I thought this was one of the best dragon books I've read.
Review: I have read a lot of books about dragons and this rates up there at the top of my list. I've read all the Dragonrider of Pern books. And this is just as equal as those books. I hope Ms Yolen plans on continuing this series further. When I bought the books I had no idea they were listed as "young adult" books. I really enjoyed reading them.

Summary: good begining HORIBLE end
