falon 's review for:

Talon the Black by Melissa Mitchell
2.0

I really wanted to like this because it involves dragons (who doesn’t like dragons?) and it’s fantasy! However, it was just way too slow in the beginning. It felt unnecessarily wordy, with scenes that felt like stock characters instead of fleshed out people. It started to get better further I to the book but I ended up skimming, which I hate doing. It was just really hard to hold my attention. I don’t think this is the novel for me.

I did like how we followed different points of views and learned about them, I just wish there was a better way to fix the pacing throughout this story.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.
