Review
"Yolen's world-building remains accomplished, and the characters are engaging and sympathetic...a welcome return to one of the best sci-fi fantasies of the previous generation." (Horn Book )
Product Description
Austar IV isn't the planet it once was, and when Jakkin and Akki finally return to the dragon nursery, their homecoming arouses mixed emotions. Together they've survived the insurmountable, and now they can weather the brutal conditions of Dark After and communicate with the dragons they love. But with this knowledge comes responsibility. What they've learned about survival could transform the planet--or, if entrusted to the wrong hands, bring about its destruction. Akki's insistence that she return to the Rokk to finish her training and begin new experiments drives a chasm between her and Jakkin. Suddenly she finds herself in the midst of a political battle that could claim her life. Only Jakkin can save her. If only he could reach her. . . .

Dragon's Heart by Jane Yolen **WARNING some spoilers**, Oct 23 2009

This review is from: Dragon's Heart: The Pit Dragon Chronicles, Volume Four (Hardcover)
Great book. It picks up right where the third left off. the writting was good, though at times seemed a bit rushed.(as if Jane needed to finish writting a chapter/the last half of the book)The first half was the right pace and was building up to something big/good. But the second part was rushed. The ending was ok,and again seemed too rushed. More could have been done with the "kidnappers" It was ended in away that there "may" not be a another one.(which would be sad, because there is still alot that can be done)The added info about Austar after the book was a nice touch and did bring a smile to my face. And within that alone, there can be another book. I found these books as a young teenager, even though i'm in my late 20's, i still read the seris and was super happy to see a fourth. I hope for more books in the seris. More about Jakkin and Akki growing up and starting their own family and help Austar with the change. Or the trogs upraising and attacking a weak, changing Austar that hows little to no weapons. Or side storys about Golden's "pirating" missions to help Austar. And if Jane or anyone that knows her(which i doubt she or anyone that knows here even reads Amazon reviews ). Please write more books for the seris. And please, take your time with the story. This seris has lots of promise. We the fan, are behind you on them and await more. Keep up the good work. Fans of the seris, read and enjoy!

I can't believe Jane Yolen wrote this book., Feb 11 2011

This review is from: Dragon's Heart: The Pit Dragon Chronicles, Volume Four (Paperback)
I am a huge Jane Yolen fan since I first read the "Great Alta" books back in the late 90's; after that I have made a point to read anything Jane Yolen has written [except for the picture books], no matter what age group. I remember thoroughly enjoying the first three Dragon books in this series. But #4. What happened? Although the writing was ok [not great], the plot devices were so obvious and randomly strewn throughout--perhaps to bring back the characters that appeared in previous books, but for no apparent reason? I remember thinking she was probably really busy or distracted while writing this book as some plot choices really made no sense at all. Or perhaps this book, as in the dedication, was really to please someone else as book #3 didn't end with all plot items wrapped up neatly with a bow. Which I was really ok with. #4 wraps everything up but so forcibly it seems that the characters might come bursting out at the seams and roll around chaotically, also wondering what happened.I gave this two stars as I enjoyed revisting Austar IV. I really wish I could have given it more.

Finally!, Sep 9 2009

This review is from: Dragon's Heart: The Pit Dragon Chronicles, Volume Four (Hardcover)
If you have read the other 3 Pit Dragon Chronicles then this book is a must. I found the other 3 books to be an incomplete story without this book. This book doesn't clean up all the loose ends but does it a great job of investigating how the radical societal changes effect the characters.
Listmania!
