Waiting on Wednesday #3 – Talon (Talon #1)
Talon (Talon #1) – Julie Kagawa
Long ago, dragons were hunted to near extinction by the Order of St. George, a legendary society of dragon slayers. Hiding in human form and growing their numbers in secret, the dragons of Talon have become strong and cunning, and they’re positioned to take over the world with humans none the wiser.
Ember and Dante Hill are the only sister and brother known to dragonkind. Trained to infiltrate society, Ember wants to live the teen experience and enjoy a summer of freedom before taking her destined place in Talon. But destiny is a matter of perspective, and a rogue dragon will soon challenge everything Ember has been taught. As Ember struggles to accept her future, she and her brother are hunted by the Order of St. George.
Soldier Garret Xavier Sebastian has a mission to seek and destroy all dragons, and Talon’s newest recruits in particular. But he cannot kill unless he is certain he has found his prey: and nothing is certain about Ember Hill. Faced with Ember’s bravery, confidence and all-too-human desires, Garret begins to question everything that the Order has ingrained in him: and what he might be willing to give up to find the truth about dragons.
Why is my Waiting on Wednesday for Talon by Julie Kagawa, you ask? I have two words for you: Julie Kagawa!!! So far, I have loved every single book she has written, I might even go so far as to say I have loved every single word she has written… I just cannot wait to read one of her books in which the story is about a dragon! How come it’s so long until October?
Thanks for stopping by, have a fantastic Wednesday! Don’t forget to leave me a link in your comment so I can come and check out your Waiting on Wednesday post, too.

I know, but I would do the same if I was her publisher… Everything she touches is gold, right?
Thanks for stopping by, Jessica.
I am excited for this one too. Not 100% crazy about cover but sounds good and hope that you get a chance to read it soon!
I think even the cover is good, it looks like it’s part of a red dragon 😀 I am looking for an ARC every day on Netgalley 😀
Thanks for stopping by, Brandi.

WooHoo! It seems a lot of people love JKagawa as much as I do.
Thanks for stopping by, Jenea 🙂
LOL I saw the author and knew EXACTLY why you are waiting on this one! 😉 Which series did you say I should start with? Although I may choose the Iron Fey series since I already own several books from it. 🙂
Good luck with exams, my dear! **BIG HUGS**
The Iron Fey series is great, and I’ll be haunting you this summer to get you going 😀
I just had my last exam this morning, so now, I’m free! I’m so happy. I won’t get my results until June 20th, though. So I’m crossing my fingers that all is good and I’ll have my BA in hand then 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Brandee. *BIG HUGS*
Ooh awesome choice! Dragons are not usually at the top of my to read list, but from the blurb everything seems quite different with Talon. I can’t wait to read it, too!
Yes, Talon sounds a little different, and then, there is the fact that Kagawa wrote this 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Alma.
I WANT THIS TOO!! Great wow pick!
