Continuing where Masters of Deception left off, this side-series of JC Kang’s fantasy series took me for another fast-paced story with no shortage of action, twists, and humor.

While the fourth book of J.C. Kang’s Dragon Song series is down due to being re-pusblished, I delved into one of the side-stories. And as this one has a major focus on Jie the half-elf spy, I was in for an action-packed story, though the world’s politics still played a major part.

After Songs of Insurrection, I’ve went to read the second book in the original series instead of the side-story happening chronologically between them. And while it follows organically, the themes shift in this book.

In less than a month, I’ve read the Bond of the Dragon series, starting with Zahara’s gift, from its start to end. So, how’s the last book like? A lot like the third…

After the short first book, Zahara’s gift, and the longer but just as fast-paced second book, Secrets of the Sapphire soul, I continued with the series’ book three.

I’ve began to read the sequel to Zahara’s gift fast after the fist book – and while the second book is double in length, it doesn’t relent from its pace.

Back in May, I mentioned planning to tackle three book series in the rest of the year. Here comes the second of them – A.J. Walker’s ‘Bond of a Dragon’ series, starting with Zahara’s gift.
