Garret interpreted take her out as take her out on a date! Introducing love interest number 1! I likes how he was an over thinker, and how conflicted he was over falling in love with the enemy. The dragon slayers, and it’s up to him to find the sleeper dragon (Ember) and take her out. I have to admit, that I was taking Dante’s – her twin brother – side quite a lot.

For once, I would’ve been nice to have a main character that thought about what they were doing and how her actions would affect more than just herself. Ember was going through her rebellious teenage stage and was ready to flaunt authority at every opportunity. Ember’s curious, but she’s also naïve, and I think she missed the idea that sometimes you really do need to listen to your elders, because believe it or not they do know best. It generally leads to a lack of tension, because the reader expects the big conflict to happen and has already predicted the outcome.Įmber is a dragon and she’s desperate to cling on to her free summer, but there are a lot of restrictions placed on her, and she’s not the kind of person who just sits back and is okay for others to be in control of her life. When it comes to dual perspectives, I find it frustrating when they only ever know half the story even though the reader can see the full picture. The premise is so original and I’ve never seen it done before, the whole logistics of it may seem a bit crazy, but if you can look over the fact that dragons the size of buses can squeeze into a tiny human frame then you’re in for a wild ride. Dragons that can turn into humans: Who wouldn’t want to read that? Julie Kagawa always delivers a really action-packed contemporary/fantasy cross over, and Talon was no exception.
