About the author
Brian D. Anderson
47 books691 followersKnown as one of the O.G. independent authors of the 2010-2012 indie explosion, Brian D. Anderson gained massive popularity right out of the gate with his debut series, The Godling Chronicles. His follow-up series, Dragonvein, was just as popular, Book One becoming a Top Five Finalist on Audible.com for Fantasy Book of the Year in 2015 – becoming the very first independent to reach the finals. But Anderson was far from finished.
After co-authoring Akiri with Steven Savile (Warhammer, Pathfinder, Dr. Who, and Sherlock Holmes) Anderson became the first independent author in history to secure a six-figure audio only deal for his highly anticipated two-book sequel of The Godling Chronicles.
Anderson continued with his indie career with The Vale series. But even after twenty novels, he felt there was more to accomplish. So he secured a three-book deal with Tor Books for The Sorcerer’s Song series.
When not writing, Brian D. Anderson divides his time enjoying his friends and family at home in the sleepy little southern town of Fairhope, Alabama, and riding atop his Harley Davidson, dubbed The Mighty Puck, traveling the country from convention to convention, meeting fans and signing books.

through weird coincidence, my phone tricked me into continue listening to this book. by the time my hands were free, the story had gotten to the part with dragons and I had taken the bait, so I kept going. I am upping my original one star rating by one and half stars and I may continue to third book. oh, and my complaints about the merman.... I'll have to give it to the author, he tied that nicely.
original review
DNF around 50%
I was considering writing a rage review after finishing this book, but can't go on anymore. I don't even want to write a review for it, so I'll just leave the notes I took as I've listened to it.
author sure loves his emotional speeches. I wish someone had told him that he sucks at making them though.
things turned weird with an abrupt sex scene. it was like listening to a teenage boy describing his wet dreams.
turned into a soap opera with immature kids playing the "love game" with fantasy setting.
it's like someone challenged the author; can the hero get even more stupid? act in ever increasing spineless-ness? sadly he accepted the challenge.
no imagination. zero. he could at least come up with some new tech, but no, just use whatever we have at this time. it's not unoriginal at all, because the heroes of the book come from the past. duh.
and the tiny merman kills it for me. I'm done.

This book was just okay. Some good scenes with dragons and dwarfs, but nothing engrossing or vivid. Markus has become far too repulsive. Ethan remains a dim bulb. Why didn't he immediately suspect what Kat was planning to do? And now I suppose he's going to trust in Martok.
The writing style feels weaker in this series than in Anderson's first books, The Godling Chronicles (The Sword of Truth.)

This is a fun and enjoyable book. It’s a better than fist book. In this book its give more understanding abot this world and how the things work in world of Lumnia.
In this kind of book there is a powerful and cruel person(Shinzan) who wants to rule or destroy the world and there is prophesy with a child that save the world. In this book the child is Ethan Dragonvein. Ethan not knows match about this world and magic so he go on the quest to find his answer with his friend with help of elf and dwarf. In Lumnia there are three main race Human, Elf and Dwarf and for century they hat each other when the threat of Shinzan against the world of Lumnia force them to become ally. There is a still some question so I have to read next book soon

I am bit disappointed or rather big time disappointed with second book in Dragonvein series. At first I was asking myself why some readers gave the second book lower ratings then first book, then I started listening to it and It clicked right away.
For those readers like me who enjoy fantasy readings more then some foolish romance and even sex scenes which are thrown at readers right away at the start; it gets soon annoying and disappointing.
How Author wrote Lady Lylinora character is very absurd and idiotic. She was trapped inside some kind of crystal for very long time. And as soon she is released she start to be unpleasant, rude and seduces Marcus and has sex with Ethan - REALLY.
I was bored out of my mind all 5 hours and would probably end it without finishing it if the story plot would not get more interesting. Fortunately it got little bit better when they got to the land of dragons. From that point on it was interesting again and I could finishing it.
All in all, I can not give the book more then 2 stars because there is no place for sex and romance in such type of story plots. Its a killing blow.
I really hope we will get more action in 3 book.

Giving it a 3 star review based on volumes 1-3 as I read them all in the same weekend and hard to set each apart "feeling wise".
Regarding Volume 2, I think this is probably the weakest of the three. There's something that really bothers me on Volume 3 which I will get to in that review, but the story just feels rushed through this book with the mindset of just getting it from Volume 1 to Volume 3.
Ethan is devolving into a dumbass or maybe I just hadn't seen it before, but I feel that regardless of how the whole "lady in the crystal" story ended up, the author had written himself into a very clear corner. Either one of two things would've happened and both are very cliched.
I understand why Lylinora was upset and reacted the way she did, but her quick planning and seduction of both guys, and follow up situation with Ethan just doesn't make any sense. Not for the period portrayed nor for the her social status for the time.
Honestly, if you can get a friend to tell you the highlights you would be better off than actually reading this.

This is continuing the story of Ethan, a member of the Dragonvein family.
This book really does remind me of the fantasy books i read in the 80's and 90's - with more sex and swearing. At some points it felt like it was a young adult book, written by an immature writer. Other times there were some good ideas and nice twists on classic themes.
All in, this was a good read, but nothing truly remarkable. You had to get through a fair portion of the book before it picked up. Time travel to the 80s could have been fun, but was seriously condensed into a chapter.

Notes of Interest:
This is a follow-up purchase, so I will be referencing my review of the first book in this series for comparison.
What could have made it better for me:
This book makes use of the time travel portal again, but very briefly to the 1980’s. So, I’ve decided to knock the “historic” genre from my description. This is a fantasy book with adventures that include time travel, but time travel is not core to the plot objectives. Perhaps that changes in later books, but in the first two time travel is not what’s important.
There were a few minor technical errors that got missed in editing.
The antagonist, Shinzan, still didn’t catch my interest as a character with personality and depth. He strikes me as an immortal, all-powerful Sauron-type ruler that you know must be defeated in the end or he will destroy the world (more so than he already has). But even after knowing a little about his background, he remains the Big Bad off in the distance. Again, maybe that will change over the series. I understand the need to build up to these things if the story takes place over several volumes as an arc. But as of book 2, he still strikes me as one-dimensional.
The only other thing that distracted me was the predictable love triangle between the two women and leading the man. The way Book 1 ended regarding two female characters, I knew they would be one of the plots in Book 2. And that assumption was helped by the presence of a female mage on the cover. The girl that was too young becomes an adult, and the girl who was frozen becomes thawed. Both want the last remaining mage in their kingdom. It’s not that this subplot was poorly done, it just played out exactly the way I thought it would. And as a woman, I admit I tend to dislike “catty” behavior among female characters because it often replays female stereotypes. It tends to be a division between the doting, “I will love you forever no matter what because I love you!” playful kitten and the “I want you in my bed” manipulative slut. And whether it’s two women jealous over one man, or two men jealous over one woman, at some point those kinds of plots end up feeling childish and cliché because the character being fought over becomes a static trophy, rather than a genuine person in a genuine relationship. Same goes for the two who are fighting. They become static stereotypes and stop growing as individuals. … Jealousy and love triangles do realistically happen. It’s why they’re classic tropes that we keep coming back to again and again. But the more low-key the better, in terms of telling a unique story … in my opinion.
On a related note, this book had some graphic sex in it. Graphic sex in fantasy novels doesn’t bother me, as long as it’s necessary to the plot or handled in a way that doesn’t distract from it. I think in this case the approach was necessary to the plot, but the language felt out of place within the overall tone of the book. It felt like something unexpectedly switched in the writing style, but it was brief and limited to one scene, so it didn’t affect the overall content.
What I liked about it:
This volume in the series is primarily about the “mage training” that Ethan goes through after discovering he is the only remaining mage in the kingdom. Or, at least he is the only mage powerful enough to defeat the emperor. And this is a land where magic is suppressed except for the emperor’s use of it, so even if someone of lower class can do magic, their lives are forfeit if they are caught. So between his training and his quest to find the dragons, that is what carries the meat of the plot. The dragons are the highlight of the book, probably because they are rare in this setting, and they are handled in an unusual manner. They are on the verge of extinction, so they are both accessible, yet not accessible, to aid in the coming battle. Ethan learns the truth about the emperor’s nature. And he is shown enigmatic secrets that are full of plot potential, from dwarves as well as mages and the dragons themselves, for the upcoming quest to defeat the bad guy.
His relationships with the two women do not overtake the main plot, and the triangle does eventually work itself out, which I appreciated. To be able to end a love triangle in a manner where all parties win is good (and different, because usually there is a sore loser).
The most interesting part of this book, to me, did not get enough “air time”. It’s the relationship between Ethan and his best friend, Markus. Markus is a deeply conflicted character, and that makes him more multi-dimensional. The ugly tasks of the plot get dumped on him, but he shoulders the burden assuming this is simply his task because it’s the kind of person he has become. So, his struggles between being a good guy and a bad guy who happens to be helping the good guys was interesting.
In spite of what I said earlier about the antagonist being a bit flat, I did appreciate seeing his capacity for evil exposed. He is spoken about by other characters as a cruel, selfish tyrant. And he is shown more in this book than the first, which is why I give the benefit of the doubt to deeper development in the future. It’s hard to create evil characters who truly do repulse the reader … because killing someone isn’t enough to earn that badge. Maybe it’s because we expect deaths in action/ adventure/ fantasy type stories. So, the evil that defines an effective villain is conveyed more in the “how” and “why” that death and suffering take place. I am now convinced that Shinzan truly is a cruel and corrupt villain, rather than having to accept rumors. The question now is whether there is any possibility for conflict within himself regarding his own behavior.
And I still appreciate the author’s portrayal of the dwarven race, pushing them beyond the most common tropes into being credible characters with depth and imaginative attributes. A great quote to share from Dwarven king Ganix: “War is a wicked thing. It can make monsters of all of us.”
Recommendation:
I liked the book overall, but I think I liked the first book better. This one felt slower and a bit more off-topic. As of this writing, I’m undecided whether to buy the third book. The book was good, but I can tell the interest has dipped enough that I need to reach for something different for now. Book 3 will probably go back in my TBR list for later.

This wasn't as good as the first one, for sure. Too much time was spent on sex, or the want of, or preparing for. It was kinda ridiculous. I hope book 3 is better.
The F-bomb was used 13 times.
As for the narration: Derek Perkins is good with his emotions when he reads but his women are sometimes sounding like men.
UPDATE: After reading reviews of the remaining books I've decided to move on to the last book. I'll pass on 3 and 4.

GREAT SERIES. BUT.....I WANT BOOK 3 NOW!
I don't know about you, but I hate waiting for the next book in a good series. This is an amazingly well thought out story that keeps you caught up in each new twist of the plot.
The characters are well developed and become like close friends that I want to help and I root for their cause of good versus evil. I was not prepared for the ending of book 2.
There are subplots within subplots. There is something here for everyone who reads fantasy: action, mystery, adventure, thrills, romance, love, battles and continuous surprises that may cause nail biting.
KUDOS Mr. Anderson on a really successful series....now let's crank out the next installment okay? Your fans await.

Fabulous! Kept the story going at a decent pace, lots of great stuff happened and ended in a place where I still want to know more and I'm dying to get the next one, but I'm not screaming at the author for ending it there. I hate when you feel cheated by the author at the end of a book for leaving loads of loose ends, but I didn't get that feeling with this one. Also I feel like I got to know the characters even more and empathised more with them in this one than in the first. Can't wait for the next!

I enjoyed both book one and book two. The characters were likable and full of depth and personality. Can't wait to have a book three. The story was hard to put down. I desire to continue with the evolution of the characters.

Can only give this one 4 stars because of the gratuitous "sex scenes" which really are not bad and are very short, but they are so unnecessary that my only way of objecting is to lower my rating. I know it won't do any good, but it is my only way of stating my objection to this stuff. <><

Thoroughly enjoyed this book, a pity it's left me hanging and again I found I read the whole thing in one sitting. Great teen fantasy fiction this is!

Ugh, where to start. The 2nd book is worse than the first. Which looking at the Goodreads ratings you would think not. I'm sorry but the main character is such a tool I could barely finish. We go from fighting Germans in WW2, to being a complete love-struck 13-year-old idiot. What really did it for me was him " falling in love " with a woman that has ZERO redeeming qualities, dragons flying around was more believable. It's apparent this book is aimed towards 10-year-olds. :P

A good continuation of the series. It was a little slower in the action stakes but most "Book 2's" are. But the character developments were more important. I especially lime Marcus and how multidimensional he has become.
I do think that the sec scenes, whilst I am no prude, could have been glossed over. They felt a little out of place, a little "gratuitous" and awkward. There are some fierce debates on sex scenes and fantasy novels, but that's an argument for another day and another place.

To those of us that grew up in the fifties and sixties there is an abiding interest in dragons, elves, and dwarves, and magic, and kings. So,
it is no surprise that many adults from that time would read and enjoy a series like Mr. Anderson's. Much as I devoured the Dragon series I
am certain that I will purchase all of the Dragonvein series!

I really enjoyed this entire series. I listened to all 5 audiobooks while I worked. I enjoyed the explanation behind the Dwarves, Elves, Humans and Dragons living together and why they felt the way they did about each other. This book made me think about many different topics, thank you Brian D. Anderson.

3 stars. Three stars means that I like the book, but I most likely will not reread the book.
It isn't a bad book, it just didn't grab me.
I do look forward to reading the rest of the books in the series.

Good fantasy
A good sequel possessing enough twists and turns to keep the pages turning. The expanse of history and lore of Lumnia continues to grow, adding to the enjoyable read. Brave character development falls short. But overall good fantasy story.

This was a very entertaining interesting story that is full of action. This story has the dwarves being vegan and the elves being meat eaters.

Nice continuation. An easy untaxing read. Getting a good understanding of the main characters as the story progresses..

Good Book
This had some surprising funny sections that made me chuckle out loud and was a page turner with lots of surprises and action. I can not wait for the next one.
