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!
