I have a love/hate relationship with Julie. (Hate's maybe a strong word. It's impossible not to adore her.) I absolutely LOVED her Immortal Rules series, but I'm really not a fan of her Iron Fey series (I know, I know. You probably loved it). I read Talon with only a small amount of trepidation. I had heard really mixed reviews and I wasn't sure which side I would end up on. Turns out, I ended up in the middle. 
 The Talon series holds some very serious potential. The entire premise is unlike anything I have read before, and I really enjoy the diversity of the characters, and all that they're capable of. What I don't love is the teen angst. Also, be wary of the inevitable love triangle. It's very very clean (squeaky), with no bad language and no sex. Definitely a great book for teens, but it wasn't quite what I was expecting. I almost wish it was a little darker, but Talon will no doubt appeal to a wide audience. I'm curious to see where it goes from here.
