A review by shidoburrito
Talon by Julie Kagawa

4.0

You need to read this book if you get excited when I say "Dragons that can turn into humans". If that sentence alone makes you want to read this book, then you will enjoy it as much as I did. Never mind the fact that the writing was nothing brilliant, and it was plagued with the typical teen love triangle, or the fact it is published by Harlequin Teen (yes, the romance publisher also has a teen branch). It is about dragons that can turn into humans and have been infiltrating our society for centuries. But then there's a sect of dragon slayers, the order of St. George (of course) which is more like a secret army bent on destroying all dragons. I'll give you three guesses as to the two types of men that fall in love with our main character Ember. What's that? A rogue dragon and a member of St. George? How did you KNOW?! I'm just giving it this high review because it's rare to find fantasy books with shape changing dragons that actually act human. So, kudos to Kagawa for fulfilling that odd niche of fantasy that I enjoy.
