Why I got this book: I have red the first book called "Half Bad", and I was immediately in love with the series.

When a daring rescue of Cress goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing prevent her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.

Why I got this series: I stumble upon this series when i was looking for new young adult books. The plot caught me. I think the story seems very original and also the I ratings on goodreads about the series are really great so i decided to read this. 




Talon (Talon #1)

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 i got this book: Julie Kagawa is one of my favorite authors, and when she publish new series i always follow them. The Iron Fey series is one of my favorite books and also The Blood Eden I have also red. The plot in her stories are very unique and Julie Kagawa does not stick to only one type of stories. She has written books about Feys, vampires and now dragons. Im guessing that Talon is about dragons (because of the cover) and I cant wait to get to know the characters.
