Summary

Sometimes the world needs a little chaos.

Holt and Ash saved the kingdom of Feorlen against all odds. Now they are outcasts, alone on an impossible quest to unite the Elder Dragons. But they are children playing in a game of Dragon Lords. Trapped between the riders, servants of Sovereign, and the scourge, even their luck cannot last forever. Their only hope is to advance their bond by any means necessary.

In Feorlen, Talia faces a world unaccepting of a rider queen. Her councilors will not heed her warnings of Sovereign. Foreign powers threaten war and bloodshed. Pleas sent to rider headquarters fall on deaf ears.

All the while Sovereign regathers his strength in an ancient fortress. Enthralled cultists swell his ranks. Disillusioned riders flock to his cause.

And his unwilling servant Osric Agravain scours the land for dragon eggs. There are new types of magic to be discovered, and Sovereign intends to control them all.

Only the mysterious half-dragon Rake has a plan to stop Sovereign. To pull it off, he’s going to need a team.

Unbound continues this bestselling dragon rider epic fantasy combining the best of Eragon and Pern with the hard magic of Brandon Sanderson and Will Wight.

About the Creator

Michael R. Miller: Hailing from the wet and wild west coast of Scotland, Michael enjoys writing stories as sweeping in scope as the ancient landscapes he grew up in. His writing is known for rich character arcs, tight pacing, and layered magic systems. Songs of Chaos is his love letter to the dragon rider sub-genre, drawing inspiration from the classics like Pern, Dragonlance, and Eragon and combining them with the harder magic systems of Branden Sanderson and Will Wight, creating an epic tale all ages can enjoy.
Michael is also ‘that guy’ who enjoys-well, enjoyed... -discussing the mad fan theories of Game of Thrones even more than the books or show, and knows more about World of Warcraft than is probably healthy.

The first book was one of the best reads I had done in a while so my expectations for the second was quite high and boy did it deliver.

The story picks up after the end of the first one where Holt and Ash go searching for the elder dragons and Talia being left to run a kingdom.

This time around there are 3 povs, Holt, Talia and Osric and timing wise it's pretty even for all though Holt does seem to get a little more than the others. There are also several new supporting characters that are introduced. I'm glad to say I enjoyed all the supporting characters, they all felt like they had unique personalities and contributed to the story in some way.

I'm surprised how much I liked Osric's pov, his character was enjoyable to read as you really for him in his precarious position. In fact I think he was my favourite, though all main pov characters were excellent.

More interesting worldbuilding happens in this book as there is a lot of travelling around. Really well done.

Story wise the plot grows more dense and intricate. I wont say more on this except that it builds greatly on the last book and raises the stakes.

Voice acting was also amazing, one of the best I've heard in fact. The narrator perfectly captured the inflection of all the characters.

Easy 10/10
