Amazing end to the trilogy

Wow, this was an amazing end to the trilogy. With the other two books getting “charming and unique, but not amazing”, I was not expecting this one to be so good, but all the pieces came together to tell a really well-done and touching story about sacrifice and goodness and growing up. I liked the formatting of the book, with alternating Lyf and harper POVs, that was good at keeping me engaged. This is a new favorite, it surprised me!

WOW

This book is great. Its got suck a good story and its so descriptive and none of that stupid fantasy dragon stuff really good stuff its amazing. Yay i luv it <3. :) I am the pickiest ever when looking for books but i loved this. Like i went through the adult fantasy and fiction, teen fantasy and fiction and even the childrens fantasy and fiction in chapters, couldnt find a single book that sparked my intrests. I need 2 find more books like this any people know any books like this? plz tell!

best book i have read in five years

Sign of the dove was a great book to grab someones attention. I love dragon chronicals. This is the second book i have read of three. The intensity and discription of the actions and feelings of the charactors were so strong, i could feel my self as lyf going through the dangerouse times she lived in like it was real. Susan Fletcher is definatly a gifted writer and i can't wait to see if there are going to be anymore books to go with the chronicals. The world needs more writers like Susan Fletcher.

Sing of the dove: 5 star

I believe that this book is a 5 star book. It covers all that I enjoy reading about. There is danger, loyalty, love and care which are pushed to their fullest capacity. The loyalty of 1 green-eyed child to the next is tested as is the love that you hold and the power you weild inside of yourself. The children in this book risk it all to save the dragonlings, they rarely give any thought to themselves. One child, the girl, risks her very life to save a dragonling who loves her more than anything. This book touchs the soul of dragon lovers like me and I am glad that I had the pleasure of reading it.

Sign of the Dove was a great book for a rainy day or any day

This was a great book. What a great book for a sequel. Lyfs struggle to get the draclings to thier new mother was a great and overwhelming adventure. They meet so many people. One of the draclings was a good character but wanted to much attention. If you haven't read this book, READ IT.

New, yet traditional in the "Dragon's Milk" books.

Lyf, Kaeldra's foster sister is now forced to flee, because of her green eyes which link her to dragons. Frail Lyf, and Kaeldra's son, Owyn, manage to escape hunters who are after them. Now they must take the draclings they found, to the last mother dragon. This is the third book in the greatest fantasy trilogy written. Once again, Susan Fletcher manages to write a thrilling book of dragons. She brings back old characters, and introduces new ones. The story is new and fresh, but has the traditional feeling of "Dragon's Milk". This book can be read as it's own story, or as a part of the trilogy. It's a great story either way, but is more exciting to read along with the others
