Talon #1
While I expected to enjoy Kagawa’s latest series, I was surprised by how much the story drew me in. I’m not sure how much of that was Kagawa’s story, and how much of that was the amazing performance by the narrators of the audio version, but I quickly became hooked! I love how the story is told from multiple points of view, which was made even better by having a separate narrator for each point of view in the audio version.

While there isn’t anything novel about the structure of Kagawa’s work, she uses some common and predictable tropes, her character’s always seem to draw you in. At its heart, Talon is really a supernatural romance, but I can’t help but root for these star-crossed lovers. I mean a Dragon masquerading in human form, falling for a undercover member of a dragon-slaying cult…what’s not to like?

Overall the story is fun and quick and I find the character’s endearing. I look forward to seeing how this series progresses (and I hope there is more from Dante’s POV in the sequels).
