Why read it?
1 author picked Dragon's Blood as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The setting drew me in immediately. Fifteen-year-old Jakkin lives in a penal colony world where the economy has formed around the training and fighting of dragons.
As a young slave boy, he decides to steal a baby dragon, which he’ll raise and train to fight and so earn enough money to buy his freedom. The world-building is exceptional, and I came to love the dragon ‘Heart’s Blood’ as much as Jakkin.
From Chrys' list on great dragon characters.
