About this listen

Kullen is the emperor’s assassin. The sharp hand of justice. The Black Talon.

Gifted a soul-forged bond with his dragon, Umbris, Kullen is tasked with hunting any and all who oppose the empire.

But when the secretive Crimson Fang murders two noblemen before his very eyes, Kullen must discover the truth of who they are and what they want. What he uncovers is a web of lies and deceit spiraling into the depths of Dimvein.

Natisse, a high-ranking member of the rebellion known as the Crimson Fang, has no greater goal than to rid Dimvein of power-hungry nobles. Haunted by her past, fire, flames, and the death of her parents, she sets out to destroy the dragons and those who wield them as unstoppable weapons of destruction.

Until she, too, finds herself buried beneath the weight of the revelations her investigations reveal.... The empire is under siege from within, and one man, dressed in black like the night, stands at the epicenter of it all.

Black Talon is the first book in Dragonblood Assassin from number one Audible and Washington Post best seller Jaime Castle and epic-fantasy legend Andy Peloquin, perfect for fans of the Forgotten Realms, Joe Abercrombie, David Dalglish, and Kel Kade.

This feels more a fan fiction than seriously written novel. If not for the excellent delivery (as expected from Kate & Michael) I would have stopped in the middle of the book. I love well written powerful characters, but in this book there are none. Powerful yes, but poorly built and lacking in depth. They survive impossible odds with plot armor and don't need to follow the rules of physics. Character growth is nonexistent. Cannot recommend.

What's to dislike about this? a true epic with intrigue, fighting dragons and magic. I love the lack of up front explanations meaning you piece it together as you go. the American pronunciations vex me a little but easy to get past....

the dragon story you have been waiting for.....

The story has potencial to be interesting but it develops too slowly, the characters are well written and the world building is easy to follow.

A good quality fantasy
