"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Talon
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.
I'm a big fan of dragons which is what led me to read Sophie Jordan's Firelight series but sadly that series didn't suit my tastes. I've heard great things about Julie Kagawa and I know many people love her writing and her books, soI'm hoping that this will be the book that will finally get to fall in love with her work. We will see.
Oooo, yesyesyes, Talon! I cannot wait to read this one! I have not read any of Kagawa's other books (she has so many!), but I will read anything dragon-related :D I hope you read and love this one, Mari!! ^_^
