Don't expect the same things as the first

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2020

The first was an adventure coming of age story and it is and I think it will always be a classic. This book takes a sharp turn in tone and even to a degree subject. It's a lot of the same characters, Heart's Blood is very much apart of the story but it is more than a year later almost 2 years. Jakkin has been changing and his focus has been even more focused on the dragons. He hasn't heard anything from Akki in months until he gets a message that she needs help. This book could almost and I emphasize almost be read separate from the first but don't. A great deal of this book has more to do with the planet's and society's history and the current society than Sarakkan's Farm or major interaction with Heart's Blood. So keep this in mind while reading it.

Mediocre, but the surprise ending is good

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

I first read this book as a teenager and enjoyed it much better than I did as an adult. The best literature is that which remains interesting and absorbing as well as clever no matter how many times you read it or in which decade of life you read it. If you're a teenager or younger you might enjoy this as I did, but this is too simply written and not involving enough for a well-read adult to enjoy.

I do remember how surprised I felt at the ending the first time I read this book. But even as a teenager I would not have recommended the third book in this series. The author had a brilliant idea for ending this book but then overused that brilliant idea as part of the plot in the third book. If you read the first book in this series, Dragon's Blood, you can stop there if you felt satisfied. But if you read on, I would suggest you stop after reading the second book. The plot just gets muggier and weirder. The first book remains the best of the series.

While not nearly as good as the first book in the series

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2018

While not nearly as good as the first book in the series, Dragon's Blood, this is a perfectly acceptable sci-fi/adventure/romance set in an an imaginative world where the only thing treated worse than the dragons are the 'bonder' slaves who care for them.

I like the writing and it's a good cohesive story with a well-thought out plot, but didn't realize until I was part way into it that it was the second of a series. It still read well as a story on it's own and I liked it enough to get the first book and the ones following Heart's Blood.

I first read the trilogy almost 12 years ago and loved it! I recently re-read it to help a student and I totally remember why I loved them so much! And now there's a fourth for me to read! Highly recommend starting at 5th-6th grade level!
