There are engaging moments but it doesn't really kick up speed till really the last third of the book. I will mention that my lower rating is due to the fact that the first half of the book is a bit slower going. I would say that I enjoyed both installments on the same level. But the empress is hunting them and will stop at nothing to have Malachus and the dragon inside of him.ĭragon Unleashed was such a delight to read, I am not sure if this book is better or not than the first book. As they travel together, both contain secrets from each other but there is a burning passion that erupts between them. This leads him to a trading camp where he meets Halani. But now he is hunting those who had stolen the artifact which rightfully belongs to him.

Its his 'mothers heart' a way of dragons protecting their young from mankind finding Dragon children before they mature. A dragon hidden in a man's body until he finds an ancient artifact, one that could save him before his body turns on him. In this story we see two plot lines form before our hero and heroine have the chance to meet. She works for her uncle and is devoted to taking care of her child like mother. Our heroine of the story is Halani who is the trade camp's healer and trader and works with earth magic. So that is what I would recommend since these two books are connected. So that was a delight and had me wanted to read that book again and kinda wished I had done a reread of that book because there were many connecting details that I had previously forgotten and would have preferred a retouch on before reading this one. We get to see the reunion again of Azarion and Gilene. It seems like forever since we had the first book 'Phoenix Unbound' and the story starts off around the time of the epilogue of the first book. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.ĭragon Unleashed is the second book in the 'Fallen Empire' series by the epic Grace Draven.
