Julie has done such a great job at mixing dragons seamlessly into the modern world and making it feel believable. She also packed this book with plenty of action and delved even deeper into the inner workings of Talon. I loved it! Also, YAY for more dragons! While I had some difficulty picturing the actual sizes of the dragons when they shifted and visualizing the differences between the hatchlings and the old ones, that really has more to do with the fact that my imagination sucks. Regardless, I liked seeing more dragons and I liked seeing them get into fights and seeing just how tough and strong they are. 
 As far as love triangles go, this one isn't so bad. Honestly, I know I'm in the minority with this, but I don't mind love triangles. Everyone always gripes about them, but if the author does it right and it actually makes sense in the story, then why not?! Here, it's pretty easy to see how it fits. Even though Ember is all dragon, she has a touch of humanity and it connects her to Garrett in a way she can't with Cobalt. They definitely have chemistry and I do so enjoy that whole "forbidden/shouldn't happen" kind of romances. Cobalt, on the other hand, is a pretty awesome guy/dragon. While Garrett is all broody and serious, Cobalt is playful and enticing. Those moments when Ember and Cobalt's dragon sides were aching to come out and play with each other? Loved them! I really want to see more Cobalt and Ember action and I can only imagine where things will go with them after this book. I honestly don't know who I want her to end up with more. 
 While I wouldn't necessarily say Rogue is better than Talon, at least for me, I'd definitely say they're on the same page. Rogue has more action and plot development and even though Ember bugged me at times, I still couldn't get enough of the story. This is turning into a solid series so far and I'm so curious as to why the twins are so important to Talon, although I suspect it has something to do with the fact that they're twins, since that never happens in their dragon world. I also liked learning more about Cobalt, his past, and how he decided to start rescuing rogues. Dante really worked my nerves in this one, but I'm hoping he redeems himself in the end. I am definitely looking forward to reading Soldier. Excellent job, Julie!
