In the country of Sohlgain, all young men are expected to chain a dragon and claim its charge. For Berun Toirnach, the eldest son of the nation's ruler, this means venturing onto a dragon reserve and hunting a wild dragon. A tradition his family has upheld for generations.
The aftermath of this hunt will shape Berun's life. He is given a position as a Thunder Priest and gifted the power to control lightning, Berun must decide what to do with this new power. Will he use it selfishly, or will he use it for the benefit of his country?
Years later, in an attempt to escape responsibility for a short time, Berun and his friends take a trip to the idyllic beachside city of Hurthow, where an ancient festival is celebrated by locals and foreigners alike.
But the safety and warmth of the sun and sand is an illusion. Dangerous enemies wait, hiding behind smiles and cold eyes.
Soon the lives of Berun's friends and family are put in danger, and the young prince must rely on his power and his allies, old and new, to save them. His father's most trusted bodyguard, a disgraced assassin known for his skill and ruthless precision. A young God Mage and her companions. And a coward with a power he's afraid to use. All of them will be needed to save those threatened.
But time is against them and their enemies have secrets of their own.

4.5/5SON OF THUNDER is an interesting novel that straddles the genre of fantasy and urban environments. The best way to describe it is taking place in the "modern" period of a typical fantasy setting. There's magic, dragons, sorcery, cars, tourist traps, guns, and Emperors. It very much reminds me of the Final Fantasy series post-VII where the supernatural is seamlessly blended in with the mundane to make both more fantastical.
The premise is Berun Toirnach is the eldest son of the Emperor. It's a modern society but he still has to follow the traditions of his people, which include taming a wild dragon. During this encounter, he discovers he has the power to wield electricity and control lightning. This immediately gets him dumped in the priesthood and a career path which is not very suited for his temperament.
Berun ends up getting a brief break from his responsibilities by being allowed to take his friends to the beachside city of Hurthow. There, a bunch of rich but naive tourists are soon set upon by a supernatural gang of criminals who intend to ransom them back to their rich families. Unfortunately, for the gangsters, they may have bitten off more than they can chew with a budding dragonmaster as well as Thunder Mage.
This book reminds me a great deal of THE LEGEND OF KORRA, which is a high compliment indeed. I like the fact it's a somewhat "modern" story about a kidnapping in a tourist trap and the villains are gangsters set up against a sorcerer with his dragon. The juxtaposition of the fantastic with the mundane works well with the story.
The story is a bit of a slow burn with the characters mostly spending their time gossiping about girls (apparently despite being a Prince, he's very inexperienced with women as are his friends) and trying to figure out what sort of mischief to get into in Hurthow. However, once events got going, I really started to enjoy this story. I think it's good for an afternoon read and people should definitely check this out if they liked mix/matches.

Son of Thunder Thunder War Book 1 (Audible Audio Edition) James Jakins Sean Tivenan Robber Dog Pub Books Reviews
This isn't the type of genre I'm usually into (especially anything with dragons), but I'd heard some good things and decided to give it a go.
Great decision! It was a well written, but easy to read book that really kept me interested until the end.
The action was faced paced and quite vivid.
Now, I can't wait for the next book!
Son of Thunder is the beginning of what will be a terrific story. There is magic, mystery, action, and even a little romance for the sappy side of readers. (myself included)
I love the magic system. There are a few characters which feed off of each other. And one or two that make you wonder if they are going to kill themselves using their magic.
Jakins delivered with his previous work. And he has delivered again. I look forward to the continuation of this story.
A close friend told me to give this a read. I objected because I don't often read fantasy, but I finally consented. Very glad I did.
This book truly marks the arrival of new talent in young adult literature (and beyond, I'm nearly 30). It was exceptionally good. The story's pace is terrific. The inventiveness of the world is immersive and refreshing. Some fantasy books lose a degree of genuineness in characters due to an obsession with settings and creatures, but Son of Thunder proves to be a human story of the power of family bonds and need for friendship. Has universal tones that I couldn't help but to compare favorably with the Chronicles of Narnia or Harry Potter.
Found myself completely absorbed by the action and characters in this story. I can't wait for the second book
The description makes you question if itll be good or not, but it is! The MC is fun even it he's retarded at times. I love how the book mentions how smart he is despite how stupid he is. I facepalmed constantly at some of the things that happened in this book, but it was a fun read for the most part.
Berun is the eldest son of the ruler of Sohlgain. According to time-honored tradition, young men must chain a dragon to claim their charge and enter adulthood. But when Berun chains a wild dragon he gains powers beyond his imagination. Too young to fully grasp the responsibility of his gifts and the his position as Thunder Mage, Berun uses his abilities selfishly, venting the restlessness building within him. What he doesn't know is that he is being secretly watched and protected by his father's loyal bodyguard.
Berun and his friends have a lot of growing up to do. Their childhood comes to an abrupt end on one last adventure to a seaside resort, where powerful criminals soon take an interest in him. When his brother and friends are violently kidnapped, Berun takes matters into his own hands, unleashing his power. Will his transformation be worth the cost? Meanwhile, opposing cells of highly trained assassins enter the fray, each with motives that could change the world forever.
And what will happen to the tamed dragons, confined to cages across Sohgain? A Thunder Mage has risen. And a long-forgotten wildness runs in their blood again...
I found Son of Thunder frustrating - in the best possible way. There were so many ideas that caught my imagination right from the start - electric dragons, a unique magic system, corrupted assassin cults and a shy colossus - but Jakins deliberately gives the reader only a glimpse in each battle or pursuit. I found myself paging through this book eager to find out more about how these devices worked. Berun never really grasps how strong he is, and there is a real sense that a much bigger destiny is waiting for him. I look forward to the next book in the series where the stakes will no doubt be raised and I can find out the answers to some of these questions...
Not to mention the dragons!
