About this listen

Jakkin, a 15-year-old bond boy, works with many others in Sarkkhan's worm farm/nursery on the desert planet Austar IV. Jakkin plans to steal a baby dragon from the farm to raise, hoping to train the dragon to fight and earn him enough money to buy himself out of bond, as well as the dragon's freedom.

Eventually, with the help of Akki, a girl at the nursery, he succeeds and names his dragon Heart's Blood. After a year of training and growing, Akki arranges a way for Jakkin and his beautiful red dragon to engage in their first battle.

I found this book when I was a freshman in high school over 30 years ago. At the time I found the 2 others and really enjoyed them. Over the years I tried from time to time to find the books again and I could only find the first 2 to add to my collection. On a whim, I checked Audible and found there was a 4th book!!! I can't wait to go through all of them again. It has been over 20 years since I read them and want to enjoy the FULL story this time from start to finish.

One of the first books I ever read

This was one of those kindle books that come with a free audible. The narration was great with each voice distinct amazing for a woman. And this is a Dragon tale off the beaten path. A former penal colony where dragons were natural to the planet.

Also a coming of age too. A fast read, if you have KU notice that the little headphones grove on over to Amazon.

I liked the pacing of the story. I thought it was very short for a complete book.

good writing

I first discovered this dragon's blood from an old animation I saw as a kid by the same name. it's funny to see how close to the source material that old cartoon was.

I know Dragon's Blood predates how to train your dragon by several decades but there are some interesting comparisons and I find that this story is a way more in depth view into the relationship between the main character and his dragon.

Very good narration as well.

A unique take on "The Boy And His Dragon" Story

Good young/adult teen short fantasy. Narration is subpar in a few places. Still worth the time.

Good fantasy.
