Of course, I've never read any of her books so I'm not sure how much I'd like them either...but I was counting on Talon being my first read from her. Now I'm just not sure whether I should anymore. I'm still happy you gave us your honest opinion. It's made me realize that I should look more into this book than I thought before.BookOwl93https://www.blogger.com/profile/00275953487038247428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-21336097502319806402014-10-23T21:30:39.602+01:002014-10-23T21:30:39.602+01:00Sorry this one didn't work for you, Jasprit!

I think I'm going to skip it because the romance aspect sounds a bit like a disaster. I would want more dragon action than romantic conflicts, and this would disappoint me. :(<br />Thanks for the lovely review, Jasprit!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-86051661181396841382014-10-23T13:33:28.527+01:002014-10-23T13:33:28.527+01:00I think it's the potential and the not living ...I think it's the potential and the not living up to its potential that made me so upset with this book (stupid that I get so emotionally invested in the possibility of something but...books. You know.). I *might* pick up the second one but, at this point, I don't think I will because of my extreme disappointment. Boo love triangle. Boo instalove (-ish). Boo to focusing on the romance rather than the Talon vs. Order (with a big side-helping of romance, of course). *sigh*Mary @ BookSwarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099395167194720599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-38217735606151129352014-10-23T12:15:35.218+01:002014-10-23T12:15:35.218+01:00Only two stars? :( Now I am scared to read this bo...Only two stars? :( Now I am scared to read this book.

It's really sad that Talon showcases a rather fast-paced romance, considering how in her Vampire book it was anything but. Forbidden romances I can take, but it has to be justified and not rushed for it to be effective to me. Hopefully I like this one much more than you did when I get to it, although I have low expectations now because I can be REALLY nitpicky >.><br /><br />Faye at <a href="http://thesocialpotato.maryfaye.net" rel="nofollow">The Social Potato</a>Faye M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482378962410177583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-29621852700353884402014-10-23T09:56:42.450+01:002014-10-23T09:56:42.450+01:00AW :( Sad face.

But I must be honest, and I think I will hate this book :( Ember sounds like an asshole. You say: "How quickly could Ember shift her feelings," SERIOUSLY? THAT is why I hate love triangles. What the hell. Sad face. Just, not for me :( I wish it wasn't this way, though, because I love Julie. Sigh. I do love your review, though. <3 Thank you for sharing sweetie :) Carina Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962924929801205597noreply@blogger.com
