About the author

Known 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.

[Paul Wandless · Rating 4 out of 5]

Was a good follow up and was really fast paced. Even though there were multiple story threads, they all felt like they were well developed. The downside was because of multiple story lines, some of the characters didn't develop as much. The book is short as well, so that also limited how much time could be spent with each character. But with this said, the arcs that did get some attention were well done. I wish the book was longer and not the first half of a two part story that will finish in the next book. This also happened in the Godling series, so I know this is just his style of story telling. Overall it was a good book that has me wanting to know what happens next. Brian is one of my favorite authors and this is another great addition to his ever growing body of work.

The morning after

Its was going well after the first round pick them up for a second round draft pick and in morning trading 3AM in my opinion and they are going to have the chance to win those.😗 games cause it is because they have toughest teams including teams. Thusly Theresa's nothingness that'd really likely you would have to play with yourself and.10 you haven't seen them inside of your house. . Hey I don't know what you mean but you gotta get it done

I liked this book a lot. I think it did need to be longer in places though. We were following a lot of storylines. And if the book would’ve been longer it would have given us some more time to connect with some of these characters. I can’t wait to see what the next book in the series does. I hope this series is continued.

Great follow up.

This was a great follow up to The Vale. Character development could have been better though. Hopefully in the next book it'll go more into the history of Vale and what exactly happened to the world and where the different races originated.
