Darkness of Dragons

My son was very disappointed that the author wrote in a female dragon having more than a crush on another female dragon. Very disappointing. This is a kids book. The agenda being pushed is not appreciated.

Thoughts: This book was so so so amazing! Sutherland made each chapter build and grow on each other like a skyscraper that keeps getting higher and higher. I loved how this book was so creative with the different villains. It added a lot of suspense to the story. I also thought it was so cool how Sutherland made the prologue all mysterious, and it’s only explained near the end. Another thing I cherished about this book is how Sutherland talked about Qibli’s backstory, something we’ve kind of been kept in suspense about since Book 1. Overall, I loved this book and, in general, the Wings of Fire series.

Written by a ten year old boy

This book nearly made me cry the feels are unreal. It’s amazing how great of an author Tui is. Hopefully the series continues forever. Best book series I’ve ever read in my life.Many surprises await to be discovered if you have been reading this series since the beginning.

This is the 10th book in the Wings of Fire series. This was a really excellent continuation of the series. This book ties up the story arc dealing with Darkstalker and starts up a new one. Sutherland has said that there are going to be another 5 books in this series (bringing it to a total of 15 books). I have enjoyed this series but mostly continue to read it because my 10 year old son adores this series and we talk to each other about it a lot.

This book centers around Qibli; the dragon who had a rough childhood and desperately wants animus magic. With most of the dragons enchanted to follow Darkstalker, Qibli is one of the few who can stop Darkstalker. Qibli uses his wits and intelligence (along with some magic objects from Turtle) to break Darkstalkers enchantment on the other dragons and stop Darkstalker from taking over the world.

We learn a lot about Qiblis past and there is a lot about his birth family as well. As with previous books there is a lot in here about using power responsibly and about the importance of friendship. Additionally Qibli realizes that even though his birth family is pretty horrible, he can create himself a new family out of the friends and dragons who support and love him.

I always think the topics and events covered in this series are a bit advanced for middle grade readers. However my son (who is 10 now) has been reading these books since he was seven or so and really loves them. These books are fun, interesting, and engaging. They also provide some food for thought.

Overall this was a fantastic continuation of the Wings of Fire series. I really loved how the Darkstalker storyline was wrapped up. These books are always easy to read, engaging, and well written. I would definitely recommend to middle grade and older readers who love dragons, adventure, war, and magic.

My child LOVED the Wings of Fire series but unfortunately, the author decided to slip in homosexual aspects into the dragons relationships with one another. I do not believe this has any place in CHILDREN’s literature. The fact that the author waited until the 10th book to slip it in, seemed very fishy to me as a parent. If this was the author’s viewpoints and something she wanted to include in her books, she should have made that clear early on and we would’ve skipped the series.
