Talon by Amanda Greenslade
2.0
Rating: 2/5
I really wanted to like this book. The premise reminded me of “The Tiger Saga” by Colleen Houck, a series that I gobbled up in middle school. “Talon” by Amanda Greenslade moves too slowly and is not engaging. I DNFed at 19%, something I normally don’t do.
Meet Talon, a young boy who bonds magically to an ice tiger. He lives in a world where this is fairly common, and embarks on some adventures with his new friend. I think the ideas presented are fairly unoriginal and occur in a boring world that lacks any careful world-building. Talon is a pretty boring guy. I would overall just call this book average. It could easily be written with more suspense and character development, but it’s just kind of lacking.
I recommend this book for really young readers that need some easy fantasy to get into. It’s fairly straightforward, and is overall just an average book.
