Rogue (Talon Saga, #2)

Whoa! You know how book 2 in a trilogy is usually the slower, weaker book? Well, that is not the case with Rogue. Rogue is fast paced, and filled with action and drama.

The title of this book is appropriate, as we learn about the roots of Riley's rogue movement, and tons about the rogue life. Most of the book is simply the Rogues trying to stay one step ahead of Talon, one step ahead of St. George, and essentially, trying to stay alive. Therefore, we are part of many chases, battles, and narrow escapes. Portions of the book also go back in time, to reveal the impetus for Riley's Talon defection. I always love a good back story, and we learn a little more about Riley in the process. I think the flashbacks allowed me to understand him, and why he is the way he is. Kagawa also planted a seed, that there is a lot more going on between St. George and Talon than meets the eye. And so, the plot thickens.

Dragons, dragons fighting, humans fighting, lies, deceit, and a love triangle. Loved it!
