Quotes by Julie Kagawa

I wanted to spend more time with her; she was constantly in my thoughts, and right now the only thing I wanted was to lean in and kiss her. Which was, of course, disastrous for the mission, but I couldnt help it. Somewhere between that day on the beach when Id met her for the first time and the night of the party when wed kissed in the ocean, she had become something more than a potential target. She had, very inexplicably, become the most important thing in my life.And that terrified me.

My insides fluttered, sending curls of heat through my stomach and shivers all the way down my spine. So, this was what it was like to kiss someone.....and mean it.

Being with him did strange, twisty things to my insides. My dragon instincts did not approve; they still didnt like this human with his amazing reflexes and bright, intense eyes. The eyes of a predator. But there was another part of me that couldnt resist. And the thought of never seeing him again was unfathomable. Even if I knew it was probably for the best.

One hand traced small circles against my back, and I pressed closer to him, listening to his heartbeat. “I used to think that having nothing to live for made you a better fighter,” he murmured. “Turns out I was wrong on a lot of fronts.

Is our life not exciting enough? Or do the lot of you just have some kind of death wish?

I leaned back against the headboard and closed my eyes, feeling the inferno flair between us once more. It flickered and pulsed, but my blood was boiling on the inside and Ember was the fire that ignited it.

You cant be completely in love with a dragon and expect anything to be normal.

If I was in Talon, I would be the one in charge, Id be the one calling the shots. I wouldnt have to take pointless exams, listen to humans or worry that my every move was being watched. In Talon, dragons were the bosses, the presidents, the CEOs. If I was a part of the organization, no one would tell me what to do ever again.I would have to let some things go. I t might be painful, but in the end, it would be worth it. Sacrifice was necessary, but I would be free.

Godzilla was coming...

More dragons incoming...

Ive been told that theres a point in every soldiers life when he knows hes going to die. You expect it, of course, in every battle, every ambush, every enemy engagement. You are aware that this could be it. This could be the one that ends your life. But, theres a difference between being aware that you could die, and knowing beyond a doubt, when the situation is hopeless. New dragons dropped from the sky in a dark mass...

Victory was close. Just one final push. Send in the rest, I ordered. All wings attack. Take that base down now.

I didnt fall in love with how you looked, he murmured as his hand rose, gently brushing my cheek. I fell in love with you.My eyes watered. And everything inside me melted into molten goo. You are getting entirely too good at making a dragon cry, I saw and kissed him.

Without St. George, that balance would tip. Without the Order, there would be nothing to stop Talon and the Elder Wyrm from achieving what they wanted from the start: complete and utter dominion.

You have no idea what you really are, the Elder Wyrm went on, or why you are special to the dragons of Talon.

The organization likes to do their dirty business where no one can see it.

Why havent they killed us yet?Our lives arent important. For some reason, its always been about her.

Sometimes I think youre the only thing keeping me sane.

The kind of bs is dead. Long live the queen.

It had been her mercy, her refusal to kill a known enemy, that had made me realize the Order was wrong. It was because of her that I was here now, risking my life to protect the creatures I’d once driven toward extinction. Because a dragon had spared the life of a soldier of St. George, everything had changed.
