A Sending of Dragons is a heart warming story full of love and adventure. The wonderful way it's written just makes you feel like you're right there and the touching way the two main characters connect with each other and act together is just magical. Their love for the dragons is honest and true. A must read for anyone who loves fantasy and especially dragons!
Format:Paperback
Bought this book to complete the trilogy that began in my childhood with the gift of Dragon's Blood when I was younger. I'd checked several bookstores at the time and in the years since, but could never find the 2nd & 3rd books, until now! Thanks Amazon :) As for the book, it's quite a good story, written in a relatively 'simple' language & vocabulary, but then it IS aimed at "young adults" so I guess that's to be expected.

A Sending of Dragons
8 Dec 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This final volume of the Pit Dragons Trilogy is perhaps the most interesting, because it takes us away from the mainstream culture of Yolen's world, with it's Pit fights and its caste-system, and shows us another side of the planet Austar. Incidentally, this was the first Pit Dragon book I read - having found the British, Julia MacRae edition of it in an Australian second-hand bookstore.
Jakkin and Akki have undergone a dragon-related physical transformation which enables them to share their thoughts telepathically and to survive the supercold Dark After of the Austarian night. Their peaceful existence with Heart's Blood's dragon hatchlings (Sssargon, Sssasha, and the Triplets) in the mountains of Austar is disturbed when there is a sign that they are being hunted by humans.
They flee into the caves of the mountains, where they encounter an indigenous society of humans who are similarly bonded with the dragons. However, as they soon discover, these people's relationship with the dragons is much less benevolent than that which they themselves possess.
So, for the last time, we see Jane Yolen's uncanny ability of deeply touching us with the courage and love of her characters, both human and draconian, and provoking our thoughts with her ingeniously invented cultures. Although the ending of this book ties off all the loose ends of the series, there is plenty of scope for more storytelling in Yolen's fascinating world of loving, feeling, and emphatic dragons. Hopefully this will not be our last visit to Austar.

This book is a great book!
20 Dec 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
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.

This is sooo great! I can't believe Jane Yolen stoped writing these books! I really wish she had written more! But,I suppose it is good for you'r imagination to think up what happens next. This is such a good book for readers like me. Because of these books,dragons became my favorite animals! Well,if you would like to read this book,I won't stop you for one second!!!!!!!!!!!
