Review
Book Two of the prolific Yolen's fantasy series, "Pit Dragon Trilogy," finds the hero Jakkin—now seventeen—on top of his small world. He has achieved master status, has a winning pit dragon—his beloved Heart's Blood—and dragonlings on the way. Only the missing Akki could complete his happiness. Meanwhile, it seems that revolution is brewing on the convict planet of Austar IV, and Akki is smack in the middle of it. Drawn against his will into the politics of the time, Jakkin must learn to judge humans as well as dragons. His head bursting with intrigues on top of dragon messages, Jakkin is shoved into his much-desired manhood before he is ready for the consequences. After a slow start, the adventure works up to an action-packed ending. 2004 (orig. 1984), Magic Carpet/Harcourt, Ages 12 up. (Children's Literature -Kathleen Karr )

Heart's Blood,
By DeeDee (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heart's Blood: The Pit Dragon Trilogy, Volume Two (Paperback)
This book is definitely not one of my favorites but it is still okay. I had a bit of trouble understanding the politics parts of the story. All in all, I suggest that young children who want to read this book, wait till they're older and will understand the point of the story more.

Hearts Blood,
By A Customer
This review is from: Heart's Blood: The Pit Dragon Trilogy, Volume Two (Paperback)
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.

The first one was deffinently better! From SF,
By A Customer
This review is from: Heart's Blood: The Pit Dragon Trilogy, Volume Two (Paperback)
When I read the first one I was very intrigued. The first one was filled with adventure and action fitting in some humor. I could never put it down. The second was a disapointment. I found myself wishing for the chapter to be over. The humor was sarcastic and the characters have lost there flavor. Of course,it just is a quincedence that the dragon survive a venemous bite and then dies from a shot from a pistol. The only good thing about it was the action with the scene with the guns.
