I love this series. It's exciting and fast-paced, and best of all, it contains dragons. I like the way the characters are developing and the way the war between Talon and the rogues is going.
Can't wait until the last book is released!
Spoiler
Finally, all of Talon's enemies are teaming up. One thing bothered me, however. At the end of Soldier, it was apparent that Garret had died. It felt to me as though Kagawa changed her mind at the beginning of Legion and brought him back to life. It just felt a bit disjointed. I felt that his passing would have been effective in terms of story development. But then again, a forbidden romance is appealing, too.nicolemhewitt's review against another edition

Because of the way the last book ended, it's practically impossible to review this book without spoilers. Let's just say that the love triangle was finally put to rest in this book, but it might not be for the reasons you suspect.
This book focused a bit more on Dante and gave us flashbacks of Ember and Dante in school---it pretty much established the fact that I'm just not a fan of the backstory chapters in these books. I don't feel like I learned enough to merit these full chapters. I did maybe gain a little more sympathy for Dante, but I still just can't really understand him. Mostly, I want to shake him and tell him to wake up.
Still, this book gave us some major revelations that I didn't see coming (though I feel like I've kinda sorta seen before---I still liked them, for the most part). The end of this book ratchets up the excitement and it had me eager for the final book, which I will be picking up any day now!

What can I say...
Even though I thought the middle part of this book was a bit... boring and not quite my cup of tea, the ending more than made up for that!
I'm just trash for this series and you better believe that Inferno is on its way to me, so I can finish this story!

This book of the series was definitely the most interesting so far and a lot happened. I gotta say it: Ember and Garrett, love them! Ember and Riley are soul friends in my opinion (which I like way better), I think that’s why there’s still that ancient dragon linkage between them.
The battle scenes definitely had we stressing out a little bit but they had me hooked!
Also, I have a hate-empathetic relationship with Dante’s character (Julie probably meant to do this). I despise how cruel and manipulative he is but then I feel empathetic because I know that a lot of the cruelty and manipulation comes from being brain washed by Talon. A complex character for sure that I’m hoping gets a redemption arc in the next book.
My favorite character: still Garrett
Here’s to hoping I’m not emotionally wrecked by the next book.
