A Sending of Dragons I loved this trilogy. The first book was great. The second book was not quite as good as the first, but still a good read. The third was the same as the second. I think that a lot of questions were left unanswered in A Sending of Dragons, and there wasn't much of a resolution. I still recomend it as a great read.
A Sending of Dragons The first book of the trilogy, Dragon's Blood, was, to put it simply, wonderful. I loved Heart's Blood's amusing antics, but she always held a rather mysterious thing around her. You never knew she was actually a girl, or a mute.
Then came the book Heart's Blood. I thought it would be good because, well, books usually get better, right? Pff. Heart's Blood could've easily lived. Easily. And the fact that there was rarely anything about the Hatchlings, it left me annoyed.
Then came A Sending of Dragons. Complete garbage. Too many things were left untied--Is Auicle related to Heart's Blood? What happened to her? The Hatchling? The Bonders? The pits? That freaky tribe? Nothing that really needed an answer was answered. Yes, the hatchlings' antics were rather amusing(Especially Sssargon's.), but they rarely appeared in the first place. So much more could've happened with the five--Maybe give the Tri more distinct personalities other then doing everything in unison, and echoing each other. Jakkin and Akki were too busy stuck in the cave with a bunch of half-witted people who killed Hendragons to become telepathic.
Basically:Read the first one for amusement, the other two only if you really want to finish the trilogy.
How Can You Have a Fourth Book in A TRILOGY?! 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.
Not worth hearing about! 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.
A flight of pure fantasy 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.
