A Booming Sensation As Jakkin and Hearts Blood become one of the most feared dragon fighters, something unexpected happens. A nuclear bomb goes off! Now the police are after him and his new girlfriend Akki. They have only one choice, trust in his Dragon and head for the hills. When reading Hearts Blood I was always in a sense of awe. Reading this book really shows how well Jane Yolen can write.
When Jane Yolen wrote Hearts Blood, she must have been in a perfect writing zone for the whole time. It seemed as though Jane's excellent writing skills were mirrored by her creative imagination. For example, the image of a feral dragon loaming the skies, made Jakkin's knees felt a tingling sensation, which was like being stabbed by a thousand needles in the leg.
The suspense of Hearts Blood is an exact image of the high quality writing used. When Hearts Blood tried to stop the police from reaching Jakkin and Akki, the pages seemed to be turning ever faster. However, when you found out Hearts Blood saved their life by sacrificing hers, you would almost have a tear come to your eye.
As the final page was turned, I was overcome by a sense of sadness, only to be overcome by a sense of happiness. This was because I knew there was a third book in the series A Sending of Dragons. This certainly will have the same quality of this magnificent book.
Blood Sight This book is the second book in the seris The Pit Dragon Chronicles. Even thought i didn't read the first book, i found this book to be a pretty good book.It has a nice blend of Action, Adventure, and the occasional romance. This book shows the overall emotion, comprehension and the pure thrill of Dragons.Jakkin owns his own dragon named Hearts blood which fights in the Rokk. Anyway this book is about the main character Jakkin, a stout fellow, who receives a note from Akki. Golden gave him the note, and knows where she might be. So Jakkin begins he search for her a the Rokk a major city in Austar. He fights with his dragon at the two pit matches. After she wins both, he goes bar to bar looking for Akki, and the rebel that Golden was going to send to Jakkin. A man comes and dies beside Jakkin in an ally, but not before leaving him a message. He goes to the nearest bar and tells the bartender his troubles. The bartender keeps him after, and the rebel cell comes in. Number 1, number 2, number 3 (Really akki), number 4 and number 5. They don't use names... Jakkin and Akki take a case to the pits, which is really and bomb. They leave before the pits come down.The wardens chase jakkin and akki because they suspect them of the crime. Also i will give away the ending. The dragon dies, and Jakkin and Akki get some power called "Dragon sight".

Niq's (On Time) school project Jane Yolen's "Heart's Blood" is an incredible read. Although I have not finished the book, it shows great promise towards the end of the book. Jakkin (the main character) is an ex-bonder that won his freedom from a dragon that he stole. Heart's Blood (Jakkin's dragon) is a female "mute" dragon. She does not roar when wounded or in any pain. She has won 22 out of 24 fights. One of the greatest parts of this book and the other is the connection between them. They don't speak or use words but they send pictures or images to each other with colors showing their feelings. Then when Heart's Blood is in the pit fighting, the communication is phenomenal. I would recommend this book to anyone that read. The book also has a background story that is very exciting. Jakkin has a childhood love that ran away from him to pursue her dreams. Akki (Jakkin's childhood love) has join the rebel's and from some reason needs Jakkin and his dragon's help. The story leads to Jakkin having to e captured by rebels to save Akki. Every page since the 1st story will have you hooked on Jakkin's life. The overall view of this book is a very good one. I'm not one to e called a reader or even come close to liking reading. But this book and "Dragon's Blood" are amazing with the details. You can't set the book down because you yourself have a bet placed on the next pit fight that Jakkin is entering and you have to know if he wins. You will love this book as much as I do if you read it.
Heart's Blood This is one of the best books I have ever read. This is the second book in a trilogy written by Jane Yolen called "The Pit Dragon Trilogy". I read the first book "Dragons Blood" which is also excellent. The book is very interesting and her descriptions of what is going on makes you feel like you are actually there. The author makes you feel so close to the people and the dragons and gives the dragons almost human traits. The main dragon in the book is Heart's Blood and when you read about her you almost wish you could have a baby dragon. The main character in the book is a boy named Jakkin and he has raised the dragon from an egg. They can read each others minds and have a very strong bond. The book has alot of things that keep you interested and on the edge of your seat. This book starts off a little slower than the first book but once you get into the story you can't put it down. Jakkin starts out as a master dragon trainer which is what he has always wanted. But when the girl that he loves, Akki gets into trouble he realizes that he has to give up everything to help her. He gets involved in a world that he knows nothing about and that is when the story gets exciting. This is a book that when it ends you feel like you are going to miss the characters. I can't wait to start the third book!
Hearts Blood I think Jane Yolen out did herself and hit a homerun, with Hearts Blood, an extraordinary book. In this vivid storyline, a boy named Jakkin risks his life, his dragon Hearts Blood's life, and his dragons hatchlings life, to save his love Akki. The risk was being involved with the rebels who are against the republic and the republic send people down to the colony to keep everything in order but then the rebels exploded the side of the Major dragon pit called in the city of Rokk. The people from the republic think Akki and Jakkin did it so they flee. Will the republic find them or not, what will happen to Jakkin and Akki? read Hearts Blood to find out. I've read the whole series, and many of her other books such as; Devils Arithmetic, The rest of the Pit Dragon trilogy, Merlin, and Armageddon Summer. Her word choice was great because she uses words that you wouldn't normally know the meaning to, but when she uses them you do; such as, "Myriad of colors", and she is very imaginative in the ways she described the dragons. I highly recommend this book to all young adults.
