This book is so memorable. I probably read it last 20 years ago, and still remembered so much of the plot. Telepathic dragons are the best. And way back when, this was the last book, it was just a trilogy, and it was a very satisfying ending.

Meh, I'm giving up on this halfway through. I just don't care enough to finish it. The main characters have adopted some wild baby dragons that they're (sort of?) raising while they're trying to escape capture from the authorities. They go underground & stumble upon some isolated humans who have formed a completely different society. This should be a fun, cool, series with some interesting world building, but somehow Yolen has just botched this. I've really enjoyed some of her other books, which is why it's so surprising that I don't like these. If I'd started here, I never would have picked up any of her other works.
I would recommend these works written by her:
"Foiled" graphic novel series
Mapping the Bones a retelling of Hansel & Gretel in Nazi-occupied Poland
The Emerald Circus a series of short stories & poems.

This is the weakest of the trilogy. The plot seemed pretty forced. I liked getting to know Heart's Blood's hatchlings, though. I hear there's a fourth book on the way. I'm not sure if I'll be reading it or not.

So I’m giving this 3 stars because of the ending. Also because I feel so bad for the fans that had to wait 12 years for a sequel. I’m going to let this one stew for a bit before delving into the 4th book.

I felt that this book was a big disappointment compared to the other 2 books. The only part that I enjoyed was the dragon rescue mission at the end where they escape the cave and reunite with their hatchlings
