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.

So we found a new FLL that was filled with books. I ended up getting 4 different ones... 3 for me and 1 for my little guy.

4/5 for this dragon shifter book! This book has been on my TBR for so long. I have no idea why I waited so long to read it. I need the next one right now. I loved Ember. I would recommend this book.

The concept of this story caught my eye. Dragons assimilating to human life, hiding among us to overcome a hidden militia filled with dragon slayers. Sounds exciting, right? And to make it even better, one side of the story is told from a dragon‘s point of view by Ember, while the St. George side is told by Garret. But it took a turn into romance and forbidden love instead.

Gonna enjoy this next 24 hours seeing all I can eat is soft cold food to help with the swelling of having 12 teeth pulled. I am also gonna try and read Talon to distract me from the pain. I am on pain medication but 4 of my teeth give my oral surgeon a fight so he warned me I might be in some pain even with the strong pain medications he gave me.

AsYouWish Oh no!!! I hope you feel better soon!!! 5y

Another read from the HS library. I enjoyed the set up of this series and this world. It was a little slow at times, but by the end I couldn‘t put it down. I definitely plan on picking up the sequel to find out what happens next. I do hope the love triangle eventually goes away though, I get tired of those in YA. #vhsreads #yalit #dragons

Huh. That wasn't totally what I was expecting and I'll be honest that I felt rather lost for a good chunk of the book but it did definitely get better as it went on. I eye rolled hard at the romantic triangle but I liked having several good/bad/grey sides or organizations to the story. Somewhere between 3 and 3.5 stars and I'll definitely pick up the sequel

I had an Instagram prompt for a #shinybook so I grabbed one off my shelf . . . And I used it as an excuse to make coffee to go with my brownie.

This book is high on my #tbr list, but right now it's just so pretty!

Finished listen to Talon today. The book was well done and I was really interested in the society of Talon and St. George Clan. Even dragons have problems with the politics of their society. I enjoyed the characters and the plot line.

Currently listening to Talon on audiobook. 😊 Been wanting to read this series for so long and I just started to listen to audiobooks and in love with audiobooks since I can read for a part of the day and then listen to an audiobook as I play on my phone.

Talon… agak di luar ekspetasi. Hanya ada naga dan drama cinta segitiga manusia-naga-naga. Masih banyak detail/ misteri yg mungkin terungkap di buku kedua. Jadi, sayang saja jika melewatkannya.

Rate Talon: 3 🌟🌟🌟

I loved Julia Kagawa's Iron Fey series which is why I wanted to read the Talon series.

It's surprisingly slow for a book about dragons - and they're often (mostly) in human form which was a disapointment. The main bulk of this book also focuses on Ember being a teenage girl with friends and a love interest.

Overall a decent read, but doesn't live up to expectations. Hopefully the series picks up 🐉

This is my first Kagawa book. Maybe I should have gone with the Iron Fey series instead. I wasn't too fond of Ember, who comes across a whiny teenager than dragon. The story isn't bad, and the writing is excellent, but I think I won't miss much if I stop now (so many more promising books to read!)

josie281 Run to the Iron Fey series! I love that one and am currently rereading it. I bailed on Talon. (edited) 8y

I have never heard of this author, nor this book, but it is a free read on the Series Starters Prime Channel at Audible and sounds like it could be good. I am only a couple of chapters in so it is hard to say any more at this point ...Has anyone read this book/series? #litsyatoz

DiruVamp It sounds interesting let me know how you like it. 8y

QOTD: Would you rather own a flying unicorn or Dragon?

Apparently Talon is about dragons. That's all I know and that's all I need to feel like it's going to be amazing. I read Julie Kagawa's first series Iron Daughter... I really enjoyed the first book but then kind of lost interest by the second. Even with losing interest I can say that Kagawa is amazing when it comes to world building and she writes some pretty awesome man as well.

#JulieKagawa was visiting #Denmark in conjuction with the release of the Danish translation of the third instalment of her Talon Saga this past week, and I found out she would be visiting a bookstore fairly close by on Monday night 🙂 I hadn't read anything by her and Monday morning at 7 I started this, fell in and loved it 😍 I didn't go see her, but I finished the book in a day and was so excited I couldn't fall asleep at night 😆🙈

BookFreakOut They're good fun, not busting the brackets of my all-time favorites but I plan on picking up Soldier. The multiple POVs are nice. 9y

I enjoyed this book and the dragon premise but found some of the romance and youth elements a little predictable and time wasting. That said I am a grown up reading a YA novel!
