Hi! Yesterday I finished
Talon by Julie Kagawa and I loved it!!
If you don’t know what
Talon is about, here is a summary from Goodreads....
“Long ago, dragons were hunted
to near extinction by the Order of St. George, a legendary society of dragon
slayers. Hiding in human form and growing their numbers in secret, the dragons
of Talon have become strong and cunning, and they're positioned to take over the
world with humans none the wiser.
Ember and Dante Hill are the only sister and brother known to dragonkind.
Trained to infiltrate society, Ember wants to live the teen experience and
enjoy a summer of freedom before taking her destined place in Talon. But
destiny is a matter of perspective, and a rogue dragon will soon challenge
everything Ember has been taught. As Ember struggles to accept her future, she
and her brother are hunted by the Order of St. George.
Soldier Garret Xavier Sebastian has a mission to seek and destroy all dragons,
and Talon's newest recruits in particular. But he cannot kill unless he is
certain he has found his prey: and nothing is certain about Ember Hill. Faced
with Ember's bravery, confidence and all-too-human desires, Garret begins to
question everything that the Order has ingrained in him: and what he might be
willing to give up to find the truth about dragons.”- Goodreads
SPOILERS
AHEAD!!!!
Overall,
I would give this book 5 stars
Books
because they don’t really interest me that much. But this was different. I
liked it because they switched between dragons and humans so it wasn’t so
dragon-y. Lol
The
Characters: I loved Ember Hill so much, she is strong and isn’t afraid to stand
up for herself. In the first part, I really didn’t care about Dante and in the
second part I wanted him to die! I was so mad at him! How do you betray your on
sister, like C’mon!!!!!!!!! Riley *sighs* I love him. I am not really sure what
to make of Ember and Riley’s relationship yet but I do hope it goes somewhere.
I enjoyed reading from Garret’s POV, during the first part of Talon, but during
the second part he started to get annoying to me. He couldn’t make up his mind
on what to do. The whole time I was saying, “Garret MAKE UP YOUR MIND” I was
proud of him that he went against “The Perfect Solider” and helped Ember and
Riley get away. It ended where Dante is asked to lead the group to find and
bring back Ember!
I’m
super excited to read the next book, but it’s coming out in……..2016! Yeah a
whole year I was so mad when I found out!
Anyway
I hope you guys have an amazing day and I’ll see you soon! :D
