Talon
Julie Kagawa
- Reading
- Pause after early turning points to map what Ember, Dante, Talon and the Order each believe. Revisit the map when characters encounter evidence that complicates those beliefs.
- Themes
- Identity and self-determination: Ember is living in human form while preparing for a role in Talon, and she struggles with the future she has been taught to accept. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Inherited beliefs and prejudice: The Order of St George treats dragons as targets, while Garret begins to question what the Order has taught him after encountering Ember. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Family and loyalty: Ember and Dante are described as the only known sister and brother of their kind, and they are hunted together by the Order. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Violence and mild profanity are explicitly present.
