The Dangerous Gift

As someone who’s definitely in the older range (30+), I think I felt a special fondness for this book and the protagonist because we get to see someone a position where they wondered if they were ready for it and always wondering how others think they are doing, grow as the book progresses. We also get answers to stuff from prior books.

I would say without spoiling too much, but you should read both Darkstalker and Dragonslayer as there are references in this book (or maybe you want to read up on what people are referencing?).

Other than that, there’s not too much to add – this is the 14th book in the series and the 4th book in the third “arc” so you should’ve at least read books 11 – 13 (since they are definitely tied to this book) and know what to expect. Personally, I think this is one of the better written books in the series (not that i would say any are outright poorly written/bad – flawed? yeah, but not bad). I think the protagonist is one of my favorites simply because they were relatable – again a young character forced into a role they weren’t expecting with doubts associated to it and having to grow.

I can’t wait to see the conclusion to everything in book 15 and see if there are any more books expected – because I don’t feel like I’ve hit the wall with the series yet.

Many reviews under other books of the wings of fire series have complaints of book arriving damaged but this one came perfectly new. All of the dust jacket was comepletely flat with no rips or tears or even any faint scratches. The hardcover book itself also came with no marks . All of the pages were printed very brightly and aligned correctly. I’ve seen on other amazon book reviews that the covers sometimes feel and look different then one that is from a book store. THe copy of the dangerous gift is comepletely legible in comparison to the other 3 hardcover wings of fire books I own. Certainly the same matierial. That is the quality of my copy of the book

The plot itself, while I am going to resist explaining thoroughly, was extremely hooking. In my opinion the plot wasn’t as hooking as the other books of the arc but it was definitely a good read. There are plot twists an characters that were very suprising. Important to note: This book is a part of a series so before reading this one you will have to read all of the other ones to make sense. Obvious but important.

Overall worth the wait of 1 year for this book and I am extremely pleased with amazon’s quick preorder shipping as I recieved the book the day of release. The book lives up to the standards of the other books.

Another phenomenal entry in the series. I just finished reading it last night, and no, I didnt cry afterwards because of how epic this book was, I cried because I was so happy I finished the book.

The characters that we love. Check. The story that we need. Check. Tie ins to the other books. Double check.

The point Im trying to convey is, it is the book we have been waiting for. Snowfall evolves in the book, from being a spoiled, self centered, paranoid queen, to a dragon who will fight for whats right.

Its certainly better than the Lost Contident, which did bore me a bit, but looking back, it was story building. Its just Blue seemed unrelatable. I dont know if this is better than the Hive Queen or The Poision Jungle, though, because those were sort of unbeatable. The Hive Queen is on my top five.

I would only suggest reading this if youve read every other book because it has tie ins to just about every single one. Including Wren and Sky from Dragonslayer, Cricket, Sundew, Willow, Blue and Swordtail from the rest of the third arc, Darkstalker is referenced a lot, Winter, Moon, and Quilbi make an appearance, and thats just a few of the tie ins.

Each and every book in the Wings of Fire series evolves the series, whereas I feel that this one took a step back and decided to evolve both the characters and the series.

*Spoilers!!!
this book is definetly the best book of the series Snowfall has So So SO much character development from the gift of vision its so amazing to see her go from grumpy and paranoid to confident and a good queen. i think the gift of vision was an incredibly beautifuly crafted and original way to make her a temporary telepath/empath. i find it a good finale to find out the whole story of Boa and her mother it was truly everything i excpected of this book. and then at the very end how it ended with snowfall learning why her mother had chosen her to be queen was just so overwhelmingly joyful. i get kind of sappy when i read my favorite series so i started to cry. anyway all in all this book exceeds everything i thought it would be and i completly recommend this book to all ages. i cant wait for the next book i bet the POV is going to be bullfrog sky or pineapple

OKAY IM GOING TP MAKE A FOLLOW UP REVIEW ON THIS BUT IM SO EXCITED ITS GOING TO BE INSANE
