Talon
by Julie Kagawa
3.5 Stars
This was a fun, fast and easy read! I’ve read my fair share of dragon books and this definitely sits on the “fluffier” side as far as they go. (Which I definitely expected coming from Julie Kagawa.) I enjoyed the modern world mixed with the dragons that was something I wasn’t really expecting. It feels very contemporary, while still being fantastical. I had a lot of fun reading it and found myself clapping and getting excited throughout a lot of the book. I liked the characters but they are a little forgettable. I am looking forward to getting to know them better as the series continues. This first book was pretty foundational, and I think the story line moving forward is going to be a lot more interesting to read. Overall I liked it! I think if you go into this thinking of it as a contemporary book with some dragon elements you’ll have a much more enjoyable experience than if you compare it to more high fantasy novels. We’ll see how things change moving forward. 😊
