Summary: A Sending of Dragons Review
Review: A Sending of dragons was a great heart thrilling adventure of a boy,Jakkin, trying to reach his dreams. I enjoyed this novel because you never cold predict what was going to happen next. It also left you hanging at the end and you really wish there was a fourth one coming to fill in the space. I recommand that you read Dragons bloo d and the Hearts blood, the pre-quils, so you will understand what was occuring.
This book is about Jakkin, the main character, running away from his enemies. Jakkin and his girl-friend go in a cave and get caught by cave men and women. Will they ever see daylight again? You should read the book to find out.

Summary: Not worth hearing about!
Review: A truly spellbinding book. Yolen has out done herself with her Pit Dragon series. The last book was captivating and your hands will refuse to let you set the book down. The story of Akki and Jakkin continues, along with 5 not so little versions of the beloved Heart's Blood. This is a book for any true Yolen fan and dragon lover! Symbolism and wisdom underlay the breath taking plot which Yolen has written. I personally suggest this to anyone who has a love for fantasy novels, ages young or old.

Summary: Best book I ever read..
Review: I have a hard cover edition of all three books and this is by far my favorite book. Jakkin and Akki the main characters are very believable and Hearts Blood is a very intrigueing dragon hehe. I suggest anyone who likes science Fiction to buy this book!

Summary: A Sending of Dragons Review
Review: I read DRAGON'S BLOOD (book 1 in this series) a few years ago, having no idea it was the first book in a trilogy. It was a jewel of a book, even for an adult. However, I did not feel that way about either of the subsequent books. They were okay, but they did not give me that tingly feeling the first one did. The worst part about this book is that it sort ends with a lot of loose ends not tied up, making me expect a fourth book (which doesn't exist). I'd say buy A SENDING OF DRAGONS used, if you have read the first two books, and don't bother if you haven't.

Review: The first book in this series wasn't that bad. (I guess I just don't like Yolen's style). But then came the second book, which was pathetic. It was like Jane Yolen was struggling to finish the damned series. But oh, no, she didn't stop there. She made a the momma of crappy books. Want some real books? Read the Eric Nylund and William Dietz's Halo series (The Fall of Reach, The Flood, and First Strike). Don't waste your crappy time on reading this book which sucks; big time.

Summary: A Sending of Dragons
Review: The first book was awesome! A bit slow at parts, but hey! It kept me interested. The second book I really read more as to finally get the conflict settled and all, but no, of course this is a Trilogy. When I saw how the second book ended, I should have realized it was getting cheep. I rally should have, but only one more book to the Trilogy, right? So I read, and just what was THAT?! I kept reading, just waiting for it to get better, for the conflict to be solved. And it NEVER CAME. Like the energizer Bunny, it kept going and going, without any real answer. In the end they are all acting like they answered a question, but they didn't. And a guy who was supposed to be dead was now, not dead. This reminds me just of how Dragon Ball Z lost its charm. But wait, have I said yet that this is supposed to be THE THIRD BOOK IN THE TRILOGY?! Then it says, "Coming soon~ the forth book!" Well sorry if I'm not leaping for joy. If the fourth book is any good at all, maybe it should just replace the third. Sorry for being harsh, but this book was not my cup of tea. Read the first book, and maybe the second book, then just make up your own little happy ending, okay? You'll be happier that way, and far less disappointed. Especially after they act like they uncovered some great secret in the second, and in the third it isn't anymore. *Sigh* Yolen is rewriting her own rules. Moral, don't read.

Summary: This book is a great book!
Review: This book is an exciting thriller; a great adventure. Wish there were more books in the series because this book sort of leaves you hanging expecting that there would be more. I really would like to give it 4 and a half stars. You should read the other two first otherwise it will be confusing. Dragon's Blood was really good, but Heart's Blood was the best.

Summary: Less than thrilling
Review: This review contains spoilers, if you haven't read the book. I really enjoyed the first two books of this series, but the third seemed to dwell on distractions while neglecting things that might have been more interesting. We already know the secret of gaining dragon sight and dragon abilities, and we could already guess the negative implications if the secret came out; belaboring the point by spending a large portion of the book with our heroes trapped in a phenomenally dull society that revolves around this act is overkill. I was also disappointed that the ending of the book cut off where it did; even the *prologue* went further, hinting at great turmoil and perhaps some genuinely interesting developments, none of which we get to stay around long enough to see. The last chapter of A Sending of Dragons feels rushed, and several things happen almost magically. Voila -- we've freed all the bonders? What, the entire socioeconomic structure of the planet has been turned upside down because one man thought it was a good idea, even one very popular senator? With what do they plan to replace that system, now that we have masses of illiterate free men and nobody to take care of the dragons? The book ends on an optimistic note, but we have the prologue to cast shadows over that -- we know there will be more violence, and the Federation will cut off the planet completely for 50 years as a result. This was exactly the result that Jakkin and his fellow masters originally feared, because it would render the dragon gaming pits irrelevant -- no off-planet betting in the pits, no pits, no justification for keeping dragons. Now the only use for dragons is that you can cut them open and become telepathic, if Jakkin and Akki let that little fact slip. What happens next? We'll never be told. This is all infinitely more compelling than what we actually get to sit in on during this book, a long and boring period of captivity among people who have the dragon sight but decline to use any of its nuances and just work themselves to death underground. Whatever happens to our protagonists and their dragons after the ending of the book, it can't be pleasant, despite the fluffy and abruptly cut-off ending that tries to imply bright possibilities for the future. A truly disappointing place to leave things.
