+JesterLavorre Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 This is a thread to talk all things Wings of Fire, Tui T. Sutherland’s YA book series about dragons! Spoilers ahead! Who are your favorite characters? What are you hoping for/predicting in the next book? So far, my favorite character is Sunny, with Fatespeaker and Cricket as close seconds. Unfortunately, Sunny doesn’t get much development outside of book 5, which disappoints me, and is also why book 5 is my favorite book of the series. Also, what did you think about Dragonslayer? I quite liked it, but I think there were a few people I’ve seen who would have preferred getting book 14 first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Oh, there's another one coming? Is there a release date for it yet? I feel like I was made aware of Dragonslayer at some point, but I never got around to it. Was it good? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, yeah, dragonslayer is good. It basically shows the first five books from the perspective of the humans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, that's not something I'd ever thought about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the back of the cover summary we have, it seems like it’s going to be about the Pantalan dragons arriving in the ice kingdom and Snowfall trying to deal with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in her book, she’s really good. Only in later books does she start to annoy me slightly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philomath Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 What age group would you recommend this series to? I haven’t read it myself, but my 7 year old is obsessed with all things dragons and fantasy and wants to branch out. He’s read (listened on audible to) the first 3 Harry Potter books, Brandon Mull’s Fablehaven, Dragonwatch, and Candyshop War series along with starting Five Kingdoms, and is currently actually reading the Magic Treehouse series finishing about one a day of those. Would this be a good series for him now or would it be better for him to wait? Also what about for a mom who accepts fantasy for all ages as appropriate personal reading and needs something to help her out of the post RoW book coma. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhh... seven might be a little bit young for these. The first five books are a dragon war, it gets pretty brutal in parts for a middle grade series. It kind of depends, based on the kid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shard of Reading Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) Oh, hey! I'm not the only teenager who enjoys Wings of Fire! My favorite characters are Moon and Winter. (And literally all the characters from the second series) Spoilers for book 10 Spoiler Someone please tell me that they also think Moon should have chosen Winter. Edit: @JesterLavorre I'm all for a wings of fire RP. When exactly would it be set? Edited January 20, 2021 by Shard of Reading 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condensation Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 That's a maybe. Why don't y'all try joining Kippies and Dragons instead? It's pretty close, and I'm finding it really fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe during the war to avoid major spoilers for the ending of the first arc? 14 hours ago, Shard of Reading said: Someone please tell me that they also think Moon should have chosen Winter. *takes deep breath* Ok, so before book 10 I really liked Qibli. Then I actually had to be in his head. If I remember correctly (I usually skip this book on rereads), Qibli has a sort of impostor syndrome. He thinks he’s “not worthy” of all the good things he has. Now, I’ve read books that pull this off well. However, Qibli always just felt whiny to me. I do think him and Moon theoretically work well together, but his “I don’t deserve you” tone for the entire book makes me uncomfortable with that relationship. Now onto Winter. Winter is great on his own. Not my favorite character, but after his book he’s actually a lot better. However, he doesn’t treat Moon well. He seems to have a crush on her, but he doesn’t do a good job of showing it. He’s regularly mean to her. Much like Qibli, I think Winter could be a good match for Moon, but not right now. He needs to work out some of his own issues first, and Moon just isn’t good at responding to him when he’s in a bad mood. Qibli, on the other hand, is great with Winter. Qibli can read people well, and is able to take Winter’s bad side and roll with it. And he doesn’t see Winter as someone he “doesn’t deserve”. So, for my conclusion: Moonbli Winterwatcher Winterbli And now I feel like I need to go reread these books because I don’t remember this well enough to make a better argument. Edit: The RP is here!

Bumblebee’s adorable. Also, have any of you read this WoF fanfiction: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11756616/1/A-Wings-of-Fire-Story It’s basically a parody making fun of WoF and fanfiction tropes. It’s really funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
