This is a story written by author Michael James Ploof. Talon is a semi short book reaching about 225 pages on my reader app. This story has a decent plot, if you are a fan of Game of Thrones, this is a great book of that kind of story line. The book itself is not written the best as far as the story line at the beginning. It does a lot of jumping around and makes you reread a lot of the previous pages over again at the start. This is my only complaint about the book. Once you are through the start of the book it really comes together and flows very nicely.
For the story: This is about a culture much like the Vikings only a bit larger. Males average eight feet and women at seven feet. The story is about a premature child that never achieves the normal size of society. Since he never reaches the giant size of this clan he is shunned to a life of slavery. He is constantly attacked and threatened throughout the story. The story kind of leaves you trying to figure out how a runt that is constantly picked on, threatened, and even tortured in many ways has no skill or ability to defend or outwit to survive anything. This story ends on a high point and leaves it like the Soprano's "fade to black" I know it is to draw the readers for the second book and I look forward to checking it out.
Now for the Author: Michael James Ploof it is pretty easy to tell he is just starting out and not a seasoned writer. This is a good start to what I hope to be a long career in writing. His story can be related to other like things out there, but that is almost the same for any story. He has put a decent twist on his story to make it fairly unique. After a few more books I see him writing on a great level. He could possibly become the next James Patterson. Currently Talon is available in e-book and paperback. I would like to thank Legends of Agora and affiliates for letting me read this book and give my opinion. I think it is a great book with a lot of potential.
