About this listen
In Julie Kagawa's groundbreaking modern fantasy series, dragons walk among us in human form.
Long ago, dragons were hunted to near extinction by the Order of St. George, a legendary society of dragon slayers. Hiding in human form and growing their numbers in secret, the dragons of Talon have becomestrong and cunning, and they're positioned to take over the world with humans none the wiser.
Ember and Dante Hill are the only sister and brother known to dragonkind. Trained to infiltrate society, Ember wants to live the teen experience and enjoy a summer of freedom before taking her destined place in Talon. But destiny is a matter of perspective, and a rogue dragon will soon challenge everything Ember has been taught. As Ember struggles to accept her future, she and her brother are hunted by the Order of St. George.
Soldier Garret Xavier Sebastian has a mission to seek and destroy all dragons, and Talon's newest recruits in particular. But he cannot kill unless he is certain he has found his prey - and nothing is certain about Ember Hill. Faced with Ember's bravery, confidence, and all-too-human desires, Garret begins to question everything that the order has ingrained in him - and what he might be willing to give up to find the truth about dragons.

Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. For fifty years, she has trained to slay wyrms – but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation is starting to question the Priory's purpose. To the north, in the Queendom of Inys, Sabran the Ambitious has married the new King of Hróth, narrowly saving both realms from ruin. Their daughter, Glorian, trails in their shadow – exactly where she wants to be. The dragons of the East have slept for centuries. Dumai has spent her life in a Seiikinese mountain temple, trying to wake the gods from their long slumber.

A thousand years have passed since a dragon has been seen in the world. Science and technology have replaced magic, which has dwindled until it has become little more than an element of myth and legend. There are those who still have dragon blood flowing through their veins, distant descendants of the mighty creatures of old. These rare humans have the power to cast magic, the power to heal, and the power to craft alchemical weapons capable of starting wars...or ending them.

She won't rest until she's sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever. Had anyone told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that's all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone. Her father was right. The monsters are real.

My name is Nate Temple, and I’m secretly a wizard. I ride a foul-mouthed unicorn, I drink with Achilles, and I’m pals with the Four Horsemen. I’ve even cow-tipped the Minotaur. I understand the theory of following the rules...I’m just not very good at the application. Because rules were meant to be broken, and St. Louis has a bit of a supernatural infestation these days. Someone should probably be keeping an eye on these things -and probably an eye on me, too. Before I blow up another building...or three.

Arwen Valondale never expected to be the brave one, offering her life to save her brother’s. Now she’s been taken prisoner by the most dangerous kingdom on the continent, and made to use her rare magical abilities to heal the soldiers of the vicious Onyx King. Arwen knows better than to face the ancient, wicked woods that surround the castle on her own, which means working with a fellow prisoner might be her only path to freedom. Unfortunately, he’s as infuriating as he is cunning—and seems to take twisted pleasure in playing on Arwen’s deepest fears.

Unrealistic premise. No, not the dragon part
The basis of the story- sending an elite soldier, a proven, tested, battle forged killer, on an undercover assignment to seduce a girl; of which he has no training for , or life experience to support is just stupid. No organization would do that. It sours the story.

Entirely predictable, matinee YA/teen fantasy
Even if you can get past far fetched plots (centuries old dragons battling humanity by sending teen dragons to high school … or centuries old dragon fighters sending a veteran soldier to woo a high school girl who might be a dragon), you’ve still got to embrace the dreaded love triangle.
The first half was way too much high school dating and way too little dragon fantasy. But, this passed the time while prepping for the holiday party, and there was enough of a cliff hanger to lure me onto each successive book.
I liked the overall story arc, even if the execution was formula. It’s fit for listening down to middle schoolers. It lacked the glitz of Hunger Games, however I liked that it wasn’t as dark as Divergent or
as angsty as Mortal Instruments.Also, after this book there’s no more high school.
Those looking for more maturity in their urban fantasy might want to consider, in increasing order:
Elemental Assassin series - still YA, but with more action and magic variety
Lotus War trilogy - alternate history, Asian steampunk originality
The Ninth Rain trilogy - a Final Fantasy vibes and spirit animals
Kate Daniels series - when you’re ready to graduate to full on, kickbutt adult urban fantasy

Teen audience
The story is very much written for the teenage audience. I managed to get all the way through, but have no plans to continue the series.

Loved it!
Love the narrators, love the story, very entertaining and enthralling. I'm definitely hooked and can't wait due the next story. It's a very interesting take on dragon fantasy stories.

UA romance
Not much more to say, if you are looking for a UA romance between humans and dragons, with the St. George dragon hunting society thrown-in, this is for you. Not me but it was free and I was sick, and so slept thur 1/2 and missed nothing….
