It was the first from a mix of genres that I really, really adored; truly gave that surreal and fantastic feeling somehow. Sorry to hear about your disappointment on Rogue :/ When I got wind that the first book focused on romance, I was hesitant to pick it up.<br /><br />Faye at <a href="http://thesocialpotato.maryfaye.net" rel="nofollow">The Social Potato</a>Faye M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482378962410177583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541582388948046827.post-40370529303461338172015-05-04T18:16:40.832+02:002015-05-04T18:16:40.832+02:00I'm so glad you enjoyed Magonia!! it wasn'...I'm so glad you enjoyed Magonia!! it wasn't my favorite but I really liked it. <br />I still haven't read Talon and I don't even know why.

I waited to read Talon because I wanted to see how the triangle was going to play out a bit in future books, and it sounds like it's really going to frustrate me so I'm going to continue holding off. I have little doubt I'm going to be solidly Team Garrett as well since you and I are typically on the same page, and I have a feeling Riley is going to present a few issues for me too. Grr. So glad Magonia was more successful for you though, I'm excited for that one!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541582388948046827.post-67740995690895739022015-05-04T13:55:04.398+02:002015-05-04T13:55:04.398+02:00Awesome reviews Pili, I am not keen on Rogue at al...Awesome reviews Pili, I am not keen on Rogue at all. I couldn't stand Talon, it felt so tropey, and it sounds like it doesn't get any better in the second one.<br /><br />Magonia, it sounds so fantastical and beautiful, definitely up my alley! The love triangle would definitely great, but at least it was minor.
