Legion is the fifth and final book of Julie Kawaga's Talon series. I experienced it through audiobook form, and the review is smaller in part because of this.
TODAY, WE STRIKE BACK.
WE SHOW TALON THAT WE WILL NEVER ACCEPT THEIR NEW WORLD.
Ember Hill has learned a shocking truth about herself: she is the blood of the Elder Wyrm, the ancient dragon who leads Talon and who is on the verge of world domination. With the Order of St. George destroyed, Ember, Riley and Garret journey to the Amazon jungle in search of one who might hold the key to take down the Elder Wyrm and Talon—if they can survive the encounter.
Meanwhile, Ember's brother, Dante, will travel to China with a message for the last Eastern dragons: join Talon or die. With the stakes rising and the Elder Wyrm declaring war, time is running out for the rogues and any dragon not allied with Talon.
The final battle approaches. And if Talon is victorious, the world will burn.
So, Inferno. I have... Conflicting feelings with the conclusion of the Talon series. I'll still give it a strong 3 stars. To put it simply, this book did everything I expected as well as a few of the very things I strongly hoped it wouldn't. Basically, it was painfully predictable, but not always in a bad way because the things I predicted were sometimes what I wanted. But I saw the character death coming miles away, and the obvious secondary romance was as rushed as I feared it would be. But my ship did its ship thing, the way of handling the dragon vs human aspect of Ember continued in a way I loved, and there was an epic big final battle. However, I will say, I didn't overly predict the end-end, and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. Does it make sense world wise? Yes. Do I think it needed to be set up character-wise? Also yes. Oh! There was one thing I predicted that didn't happen, and honestly I'm very sad it didn't ;-; Look, I just wanted my boi to secretly be half dragon and turn into a full-blown dragon due to dragon blood triggering. Is that so much to ask? So I guess slight spoiler for what didn't happen? Overall a pretty fun series. Pretty basic, but also does a lot of things right that lesser series would have gotten wrong.
