“Make no mistake. You will serve Talon, one way or another. We just have to find that breaking point.”

It’s no secret I’m one of the few people (among those I know or follow) who are still deeply involved with this series. I cherish and am obsessed with Garret, adore Riley and the rest of the crew, have a love/hate relationship with Ember, and generally am knee-deep in Kagawa’s perilous fantasy story-telling abilities. The end of Soldier (and all of Soldier, really, in my opinion) was ...more

Ember Hill, dragon, is in a battle to survive. The order of St George is hot on her trail, her brother entrenched in Talon and Riley just trying to make the right decisions for his rogues.

Betrayal comes where you least expect it and I can assure you there were some really shocking twists that completely took my breath away.

Is this the worst in the series, or can I just no longer stomach these entertaining reads that have no depth? Maybe a combination of both.

Is this the worst in the series, or can I just no longer stomach these entertaining reads that have no depth? Maybe a combination of both.

Like many readers, I find dragons very interesting, which is what initially led me to pick up this series.The first books lacked dragons, subbing it in for a contemporary romance. This book also lacks dragons, but it instead is filled with a war I don’t care about and boatloads of drama.

(view spoiler) This series doesn’t seem to have stakes at all, considering how many dangerous situations these characters are put into but turn out completely fine.

Is this filler, or did I just not care? I’m leaning toward filler, considering the amount of flashbacks about school and studying for finals in a book that’s supposed to be about a dragon war. Did this really need to be five books? I don’t think so.

The characters are not great either. I still don’t care about Ember or Garret in the slightest. It really bugs me that the British character says ‘bloody’ every. single. time he. talks. The only one I still like is Riley. I did appreciate the constant perspective switching, as it kept me flipping pages since the sections were short.

The love triangle drama is still here, and, of course, my ship seems to be dead as well.

But look, my biggest issue here is that this was so poorly written. The dialogue is bad, the writing mediocre at best, the plot melodramatic and packed with tropes. Oh, and predictable.

Yeah, so this was a mess and I just couldn’t bring myself to even enjoy this as a guilty pleasure. It just felt bad. I’ll probably read the last book just since I’ve finished the first four, but I’m not even sure I still want to check out more by this author. ...more

Gosh I thoroughly enjoyed that one. I enjoyed it so much I just said gosh. Blimey!

I've been following this series from the start and it has just gotten better and better with every book - I'm kind of quite sad that book 5 will be the finale I believe because I've been so engaged with Ember and Riley and all the rest, in a world where Dragons live among us disguised as humans and a war rages between Talon (the dragon hierarchy and a shadowy group if ever there was one) and St George (of the Drago Gosh I thoroughly enjoyed that one.

Julie Kagawa has built a beautifully layered world into the Talon series, with some memorable characters and manages to give you an adrenalin hit and an emotional tug on the heartstrings every time. The more you fall in love with the characters the harder she hits you - throwing everything and the kitchen sink at them and keeping you on the edge of your seat. After the cliffhanger of the previous book (and if you are looking for salvation in this review sorry you'll have to wait and read to see how that pans out) I was ready for high drama and got exactly that. As Talon's dastardly plans start to come into the light and Ember faces her brother head on, don't expect a walk in the park, you are going to be on the rollercoaster.

I have a love/hate relationship with Dante, a love/love relationship with Riley and stagger between adoring Ember and wanting to slap her - its great when a fantasy story can really immerse you into it to the level that you believe it all while you are there - I genuinely feel that perhaps Dragons are a thing for at least a few hours after finishing these.

Overall a really terrific addition to the Talon saga - and after the end of THIS book I am genuinely on tenterhooks waiting for the finale - will the good guys win out in the end? Who exactly ARE the good guys? Brilliant. Total utter escapism and all beautifully written and plotted.

Bring it on!

Dragons. Yes.

Highly Recommended as a series especially for fans of YA fantasy. ...more

Legion by Julie Kagawa is book four in the Talon series and if you are at all interested in dragons, romance, and danger you should definitely check this series out. I had been waiting (what seemed like FOREVER) for this book since I closed the cover on book three and was so excited to jump into this world again. If you haven’t read the other books yet, you may want to hold off on reading this book. I can’t guarantee I won’t spoil something from the prior books.

Legion picks up right where Soldie Legion by Julie Kagawa is book four in the Talon series and if you are at all interested in dragons, romance, and danger you should definitely check this series out. I had been waiting (what seemed like FOREVER) for this book since I closed the cover on book three and was so excited to jump into this world again. If you haven’t read the other books yet, you may want to hold off on reading this book. I can’t guarantee I won’t spoil something from the prior books.

Legion picks up right where Soldier left off which means they are trying to save Garret from bleeding to death. To get him to a safe place, the group ends up doing a transfusion with the only blood that is a match…Riley’s. This definitely has some downstream impacts but for now, it gives Riley and Ember enough time to get him to a place where they are not in danger from The Order but also to heal.

While that is happening, Talon still has plans and they aren’t giving up on bringing Ember back into the fold, no matter what. I’m not going to give anything away on this part of the story but we find out that Ember has a purpose and Dante, while he has a pretty big role in getting her where Talon needs her, has no clue what they are up to and planning for her. Also, Dante makes me so angry. He sees his work for Talon as something that will grant him freedom and I support his motive but the fact that he is willing to do anything to get that freedom is disturbing. That includes selling out his twin sister and leading an initiative that includes hatchlings that were bred strictly for war/fighting.

The relationship between Ember and Garret does progress in this book and I am glad that Ember finally told Riley that she chooses Garret and she doesn’t want him to wait for her. The fact that he was just hanging out on the sidelines for Garret to go away just didn’t feel right and while I’ve always liked Garret more, I also didn’t think that was fair to Riley at all. Tied into this, is Ember realizing she has been fighting both her human side and her dragon side. Ember finally comes to terms with both by realizing she is both and while she can’t fight her instinct, it doesn’t have to define her. I liked seeing this growth in her character.

As this story moves forward, we get a bit more action and background story. Not only do we learn more about Ember and Dante’s origins but we also learn more about the plans Talon has to attack and destroy The Order. They also happen to have a full list of Riley’s safe houses which puts all of the Rogues in danger. As the group learns more about the plans, they decide to take some dangerous steps to come together to fight Talon. First, Gabriel needs to warn The Order and when he does, he also makes the decision to fight with them and the Rogues decide they need to join in the fight.

There are so many things that happen in this book that I can’t talk about all of it. I also don’t want to ruin any bit of the story for you so other than telling you that this series continues to keep my interest and even surprise me at times, I can’t say much more. If you like Kagawa’s other books, definitely check the Talon series out. I am looking forward to finding out what happens next with these characters and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book! ...more

Legion brought my favorite dragons and their struggles to a complete new level of epicness! The action and the final fight at the end gave me heart palpitations!

Review - (un)Conventional Bookviews

Because of the way Soldier ended, I knew there would be some heartache in Legion, but I had no idea just how much! Ember, however, stepped up and took on all the responsibility she could - while staying true to herself and her beliefs. The plan Talon was putting into action was chilling to say the least, and I really didn't think things would end well. Main feel was probably fear!

After being captured by Talon, Ember learned that her own fate was supposed to be much bleaker than anything she could have ever imagined, and there was a real run against time to try to save her. I am trying my best to be vague enough to not spoil a single little thing, so apart from squealing and saying epic a lot, I'm not sure how to do Legion justice... There were some flashbacks to Ember and Dante's childhood that shed some light on why they behaved the way they did.

The writing is awesome, as always, and there are different points of views so various characters get to explain what is going on - and we did get some kind of understanding of why Dante was doing what he did... If you haven't pre-ordered this already, you should. And if you aren't up to date in the series, you have one more week until Legion hits the shelves. Just get to it so you'll be ready for this action-packed and fast-paced adventure that is positively lethal.

If I was in Talon, I would be the one in charge, I'd be the one calling the shots. I wouldn't have to take pointless exams, listen to humans or worry that my every move was being watched.

Julie Kagawa has been one of my most favorite authors ever since I picked up The Iron King, when I heard about her dragon series, I knew it was going to be epic and for the past four years now, it’s proven to be absolutely true! Legion continues the story that follows Ember, Riley, Garret, and Dante; dragons and dragon hunter all from different ends of the track. The looming sense of danger that’s been brewing pretty much since Rogue is finally coming to light, but since we still have one more book to go, we’re only just seeing the finishing line in sight!

So things pick up pretty much where we left off in Soldier and since I just finished that right before starting this one, I was pumped and ready to go! Garret’s life was hanging in the balance when we last saw him after he defeated the Patriarch in a duel to prove his innocence. And since they’re in the middle of nowhere we’re talking no hospitals. And since this is Julie Kagawa we’re talking about here, I honestly didn’t know how things were going to turn out! She’s one of those amazingly awesome authors who delights in tormenting her readers. Lol. But as I was telling myself as I read, this series is far from over and this is Garret. Think things practically and you’ll know how things will turn out.

We start to see inklings of what Talon has planned for…everyone. I feel like this time, Dante gets a few more chapter time and even though some of that included flashbacks to a time when he and Ember were still kids or even going back to the very beginning of their time at playing human, we see things a bit differently through his perspective. I’d like to say it put his character into more defining light, but honestly, the boy still confuses me and worries me. I know I said last time his position was made clear, but I guess a part of me still hoped for better. Dante is almost a bit scary in this one, at least I thought he was in his ways of thinking.

Seeing Talon’s plans of course was just as frightening. What it really adds up to is knowing that Ember and her friends are in for one heck of a finale! We even get to know why Talon is so keen on getting Ember back in their clutches and let me tell you, I wasn’t prepared for that kind of scary! It’s twisted and insane and just so dark!! I mean man!! But yet, I can’t help but love it all the same!

Needless to say that Legion was full on incredibly awesome! The tension is so thick you could cut a knife through it! The pacing is spot on! We’re lead deeper and deeper into this story and more characters step up to join the cause in helping Riley and Ember defeat Talon. It’s going to take a lot of work and lot more manpower and dragon-power than these two can provide alone!

Onto the romance of the story, because it has to be mentioned. I’ve liked how subtle the romance is in the story. I mean it doesn’t encompass who Ember is or what she is setting out to do. And even then, it’s still so subtle there’s hardly any there at all. Because when you think of it, things are much too chaotic to be taking time out for a make out session! But it’s still there, in those little stolen moments between Ember and…someone. I won’t mention names, even though I think we all know who she’s going to choose, who she chose in fact in Soldier. But there’s that. It is finally settled and resolved in this one though. At least I am 99% sure! As I said before, with Julie, you never really know for sure until it’s all said and done! But I do like how things were left off in this area of things. I think this was the best resolution for everyone. We’ll see.

I can’t help but feel like there might be something BIG on the horizon with the final book. And I am not just talking about the big showdown with Talon, because since there is one more book left, we know things are far from over with all the enemies on all the fronts. There was something that happened in this one, pretty early on too. And the results that stemmed from it had my mind whirling at full speed wondering what it will mean. Sadly, it’s not addressed full on. But there are hints. Teeny, tiny little hints. And I paid attention to those, oh boy was I!! And now after finishing the book, I was perturbed by it not really being addressed. It’s possibly I saw something from nothing that’s not really there at all. Or it’s also possible that it won’t be addressed until the final book! Read the lines carefully, my friends, and see if you can see what I saw and determine if it means anything! That’s another thing I love about reading, developing all these crazy and sometimes, not so crazy, theories!

Legion was full on excitement!! The pages were rife with action, suspense, dire circumstances and toe curling events! It’s a read that will have you staying up way past bedtime determined to finish it because it is just that un-put-down-able! I had very little experience with dragons before Julie Kagawa, but ever since Talon, my heart has been won over by them! I am both ecstatic and sadden to read the final book next year, but it will definitely be a read to surpass all reads as every book I’ve read but Julie Kagawa has been pure magic and one amazing adventure!

Overall Rating 5/5 stars
