About the author
M.J. Porter
120 books270 followersI'm an author of historical fiction (Early English/Saxon, Vikings and the British Isles as a whole before the Norman Conquest, as well as five 20th-century historical mysteries) and historical romantasy.
I was born in the old Mercian kingdom at some point since 1066. Raised in the shadow of a strange little building, told from a very young age that it housed the bones of long-dead kings of Mercia and that our garden was littered with old pieces of pottery from a long-ago battle, it's little wonder that my curiosity in Early England ran riot. I can only blame my parents!
I like to write. You've been warned!
Not sure where to start your journey through Saxon/Early England? The Dark Ages trilogy will take readers back to the very beginnings of Saxon England before the creation of Mercia and the other kingdoms. The Eagle of Mercia Chronicles featuring our reluctant hero, Icel, will introduce you to the best Saxon kingdom of all, Mercia! Storm of Mercia is the latest release.
Looking for my historical fantasy/romantasy? Dragonbound, the first book in the Ice and Fire series, will be available from September 2026.
Looking for my 20th-century mysteries? The Erdington Mysteries and Cragside, a standalone 1930s murder mystery, are the titles for you.
My first non-fiction book, The Royal Women Who Made England, is now published by Pen and Sword in hardback and ebook.
Happy reading:)

So this is the second book in the Unison series. It picks up where the first book stops.The characters are good, but there is a lot of telling about events and not enough action and dialogue.
Sereh can now do something very special. But she’s stuck with a group of people whom she doesn’t know. One person, Emma, doesn’t like her at all and especially her growing relationship with Jon. All of this takes a while to unravel. In the meanwhile, Erann is stuck in some kind of no man’s land and can’t figure out how to escape.
Answers slowly reveal themselves about everyone. We finally have an appearance of the Librarian! He is a favorite character of mine. We get loads more information about him and his connection to the other people.
Once things are resolved, I wonder where events will lead Sereh and Erann. Arrow and Greeneyes are still important characters in the story too. If there’s one dragon, could there be more?

Non-linear narrative
It jumps between characters and time a bit. It's like being given pieces of a puzzle that don't seem to go together at first. It comes together though. Makes it hard to put down in order to sort out the bigger puzzle.

(I received this book for free as part of Goodreads First Reads giveaways).
(This review may contain spoilers).
I found this book a little confusing at first. Although I'm normally quite good at picking up the storylines of books that aren't the first in a series, it was a bit more difficult with this one.
That having been said, I was eventually able to connect with the story and its characters. I could really empathise with the scenes written from Erann's POV and even though I don't understand how or why Sereh kept forgetting about him, I found her to be a likable character. I also really liked her wolf.
The scenes set in the past were interesting, but instead of being written as a flashback, the author over-used the word 'had' in my opinion - he had, she'd, she had, etc. After about half a page, I was quickly getting irritated.
I liked the other supporting characters as well. I would have liked to know more about the relationship between humans and dragons. Greeneyes was interesting, as was the fact that he was so completely different from the others before him. I really felt for Emma and Olaf and their separation came across as really quite painful.
I liked the ending of the book. It was nice that it had a proper ending, rather than ending on a cliffhanger. I'd probably be interested in reading the other books in this series. The characters and world are interesting and well-written (despite the fact that I noticed quite a lot of errors in the book) and it would be good to see what else lies in store for them.

Blue: Book two in The Dragon of Unison Series
Loving this series! I'm being totally drawn into the world of Unison.
Sometimes I find myself shouting at Sereh "why are you always so stubborn".
Erann manages to get himself trapped in a sort of limbo and needs Sereh and Greeneyes to save him yet again. This time they will also need the help of the Librarian.
Flashbacks fill in important information on who people are and more of their personal stories and why things are as they are on Unison.
The story is perfectly paced and all the characters are so likeable.
Bring on Green!! What scrapes will Erann need saving from this time?

Again this book felt like exactly what it is, a continuation of a larger plot, and probably wouldn't make as much sense without first reading Purple (The Dragon of Unison Book 1).
There were problems with typos and some of the dialogue seemed a bit stilted. I think the main problem is the author writes longer paragraphs of speak without conveying the characters' actions at the time.
It was fun finding out more about the world, including plot twists.
