Legion (Talon #4) by Julie Kagawa

What a whirlwind this book was. Started out with some death, had some fighting, a lot of driving around the country, and then ended with a bang and some dragonfire. Like any good fourth installment should!

I will do my best to write about this book without mentioning any spoilers, but if I happen to talk about one I will make sure to let you know it's coming in case you haven't read it yet!

It was nice that this book started off with everyone I've grown to love back in the same place again, because I missed them while they all did their own thing. I've found that I really like Jade and what she brings to the story. Instead of dragons all looking the same, they all look different depending on the region. Just like how so many different regions and cultures throughout the world have a dragon myth, and they are all different. That's why deep down I know that they must have at least been alive once if so many cultures had a myth of them but didn't communicate with each other. It just makes sense.

...is Talon real? Because I wanna meet a dragon. Julie what secrets do you know about? Share them with me!!!!!

It was interesting having Dante in the mix a little bit and having him seen more in this book, and the twist with him and Ember that we learned. I think something like that crossed my mind once but then it went away because like...nah that couldn't be it, and then it was haha. But it did throw me for a bit of a loop, and then it just got even more...twisted. 

I know that the romance was big in this book, but I came to a realization in this book. As much as I'd love a guy like Garret or Riley to protect me, I'm also the kind of girl to love a guy like Wesley. I know he's described as someone who is scrawny at times and probably pale beyond belief, but I picture him to look more like Dr. Reid and I love him. 

And I felt that the choice that Ember made was very brave of her. She really thought hard, as did her dragon, and they came up with a choice that was best for her and also thought of the others around her. I know some people would probably be upset because of ruining an OTP but I liked how she (and the others) handled the situation. And I think I feel something brewing with Mist so I CAN'T WAIT TO CONTINUE READING!

Now just to purchase the next book. To the bookstore I go!

But until then I will be happily reading other books on my TBR for this year and hopefully enjoying them. However I won't be ashamed if I don't and have to DNR a few of them. Here's to happy reading!

I gave Legion 5 stars, because this book continued with the drama and action of the other books, and left me hanging and waiting for the next one. I can't wait to see how Julie ends this story.

Have you read any of the Talon books? What did you think about the twists during part two? Or the major plot story during part three?

À bientôt!

Rogue (Talon #2) by Julie Kagawa

Dragons, adventure, twins, and more were the reasons that I started to read the Talon series by Julie Kagawa.

Sadly it took me a while to go from reading the first one to getting my hands on the second, and then reading that one as well. But luckily when I started to read the second book, I was able to remember that first one (or at least most of the first one in the series hehe). But at least I have the next two books so I can read them now.

One of the things that I really like about the series is the fact that the main characters, Ember and Dante, were twins. It's a small thing, but being a twin myself made me understand the connection that they had more than if I had no siblings, so I really liked it. It was a way for me to feel more connected to the story. Though since they were separated in this book it was a different feeling. It reminded me of when my sister and I were both away at college. Hours apart from each other, but I still cared about her, just like Ember and Dante cared about each other while being apart.

And I'm always a sucker for two guys pining for the same girl, especially if I also like both of the guys. Though I must say I'm more into Riley/Cobalt than I am Garret, but that's just me haha. I admire how both of them care for Ember and they just want her to be happy in her choice, whatever that may be.

Then, of course, there's the whole dragon aspect of the book. Anything with a dragon and I'm in. I find them so interesting and majestic. Honestly, sometimes I get sad when I remember they aren't mythical (or at least not alive today, who knows if they once were real!)

When it came into play, I knew one of the plot twists before it happened because it just seemed TOO much of a coincidence. Right place, right time, but wrong at the same time, how could they not have seen that coming? However, I didn't know exactly how the twist would go, so it did surprise me at the same time, which is a way to tell it's a good story!

I don't want to spoil too much, even though the book has been out for a little bit, but someone might not have read it yet and I'd hate to ruin the experience.


I rated Rogue 5 stars out of 5. And I can't wait to start the third book, Soldier, just as soon as I get the time after editing a bit more for NaNoWriMo!

Have you read Talon and Rogue? What did you like about them? What did you think about Garret at the end of the book? I feel like it's the right move for him, but I know he's gonna come back to join them all again.


À bientôt!
