Review: Wild Bond

Book Review: Wild Bond, by Laurie Ford, 4 stars



After surviving two years in the castle dungeons for a crime she didn’t exactly commit, a stroke of luck allows Corrine Darrow a second chance at freedom. During the Bonding Celebrations—the one time each year when wild dragons find their riders—Rin is given the opportunity to petition her case. But her hopes are quickly dashed when she is brought before the queen’s ruthless spymaster—the very dragon rider who captured her in the first place.

When Rake’s intense gaze locks on her once more, Rin is sure he will send her back to her cell. But before her future can be decided, fate intercedes. Now, Rin must train to become a dragon rider, one of the fierce warriors who protect her world. That won’t be easy with Rin’s thieving reputation, the fellow trainees that mistrust her, and the fiery attraction she feels towards a man she should despise.


Genre: fantasy

Publication date: March 2023

Mature content: yes

Review: Loved it. The plot captivated me from page one, although at some point it complicated a bit too much (with some details deserving better clarification or follow up). 

In a way, the story is similar to Fourth Wing (dragon riders, romance, suspense, etc), but I felt it paled a bit in comparison. While Wild Bond is a great book, if I had to choose between the two, Fourth Wing would still be my favorite.

In any case, Wild Bond is a book I would recommend to anyone who loves the genre. According to the author's website there is a second book in the series (Wild Heat), supposedly coming in 2024, although I couldn't find any reference to it on Amazon yet. 

Happy readings!
