Dragon's Blood
The title of the novel that I read is Dragon's Blood. The author of Dragon's Blood is Jane Yolen. The major character in Dragon's Blood, Jakkin, is introduced after the prolog, and talks about how he is looking for a dragon. The reason why he wants a dragon is to fill his "bond bag" with gold for him. This means that he is a slave and wants to buy himself out of bondage. The setting of Dragon's Blood is mentioned in the prolog. In the prolog, it states that the boy Jakkin lives on Austar IV, which is a desert planet. When I read this, I immediately thought that there most likely is an Austar III etc. On Austar IV, Jakkin lives in a nursery for dragons. This is where he steals his dragon.

Jakkin has an external conflict with Akki, Jakkin's master's daughter. Jakkin also has an internal conflict with himself. The climax of Dragon's Blood is when the dragon Red, also known as Heart's Blood, wins her first pit fight. She almost kills her oppon
If I could choose who I wanted to be in Dragon's Blood, I would be Jakkin. The reason is because he is brave, generous, and rarely gets angry, and I admire these characteristics.

I would want to be brave because I rarely stand up for myself and that is not always good. I want to be generous because I am usually stingy when it comes to money matters. I want to get angry rarely because I have a short temper and I want to fix that. I absolutely loved Dragon's Blood. This book is somewhat close to my life. For example, Jakkin is smart and I also am. I would recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy and dragons. I have recently found out that there are two more books in this trilogy. I found out it was a trilogy when I saw on the second page it stated Book One of Pit Dragon Trilogy. I want to read the other two books. The reason why is because I want to find out what happened to Akki. At the end of the book Akki gives Jakkin a kiss and suddenly d
