Niq's (On Time) school project
Jane Yolen's "Heart's Blood" is an incredible read. Although I have not finished the book, it shows great promise towards the end of the book.
Jakkin (the main character) is an ex-bonder that won his freedom from a dragon that he stole. Heart's Blood (Jakkin's dragon) is a female "mute" dragon. She does not roar when wounded or in any pain. She has won 22 out of 24 fights. One of the greatest parts of this book and the other is the connection between them. They don't speak or use words but they send pictures or images to each other with colors showing their feelings. Then when Heart's Blood is in the pit fighting, the communication is phenomenal. I would recommend this book to anyone that read.
The book also has a background story that is very exciting. Jakkin has a childhood love that ran away from him to pursue her dreams. Akki (Jakkin's childhood love) has join the rebel's and from some reason needs Jakkin and his dragon's help. The story leads to Jakkin having to e captured by rebels to save Akki. Every page since the 1st story will have you hooked on Jakkin's life.
The overall view of this book is a very good one. I'm not one to e called a reader or even come close to liking reading. But this book and "Dragon's Blood" are amazing with the details. You can't set the book down because you yourself have a bet placed on the next pit fight that Jakkin is entering and you have to know if he wins. You will love this book as much as I do if you read it.
