I just quote and share this blogger's review because it's exactly what I think of Talon, too.http://jennadoesbooks.com/talon-by-julie-kagawa/I've never read other Kagawa's books, even though they inspire me, especially The Blood of Eden trilogy, so I can't make a comparison. I simply trust readers' opinions.I found this one very predictable and banal. Dragons? Where are dragons? Where are dragonshifters? The protagonist Ember acts like a normal teen chick and she repeats over and over how much she likes the ocean and so on. If you are supposed to be a dragon, first of all you are supposed to have a sort of feral instincts and since you have to blend to the humankind, you are supposed to defy them.Another main negative aspect is the love triangle. You simply know there will be one since the second chapter.If you like it, go for it. But this is not for me.I don't even like the fact that the militants of St. George's Order were teenagers. They were supposed to be adult. It just doesn't seem likely.So, I'm going to be one further reader (in a quite long list of disappointed ones) who couldn't finish this book and ended up not caring of the whole story, because, as the blogger said, nothing has a precise explanation. Everybody acts because they have to act that way without asking why.PS. If you like dragon shapeshifters with the add of romance, please give a try to [b:Dragon Bound 9637479 Dragon Bound (Elder Races, #1) Thea Harrison https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1312822853s/9637479.jpg 14524855]. I really enjoyed that story.
