I started reading the first two books in 2016 and now in 2021, I finally finished the final book after forgetting to pick the series up again. I'm so happy I finished it and the ending was satisfying. Is it cheesy and predictable in some ways? Yes. But I don't find the technical writing itself subpar - I enjoy Kagawa's way of description and dialogue. I've always had an itch to read about modern-day shape-shifting dragons and this series was exactly the type of story I wanted to read. Of course, I've read other books that are similar, but the Talon saga was one of the most enjoyable for me. It makes me sad that I finished reading it... Just an excuse to read it all over again!
