"Her voice was like poisoned sugar, sweet but deadly."
Talon is the exciting debut book by new author, Jayden Jelso. Reading this book felt like going back in time to the dystopian books that I grew up reading in high school; just a clean story with lots of action!
I really liked Talon as a character and I sympathized with his story and motives. His journey of discovering that he wasn't alone in his sorrow is an encouraging reminder to readers that they aren't alone either. Pain can feel isolating, but listening to those around you tell their stories, different though they may be, is incredibly important in healing. All of the characters were very well written and I loved the camaraderie between Amber and Castor. I also really appreciated how straightforward the plot was; the tasks felt like quests in a video game and that made it a really easy read!
Overall, I think Jelso is an author worth watching and I can't wait to read his future work!
