Darkness of Dragons (Wings of Fire #10) (10)

I've been reading this series for awhile and I'm simply loving it! My 10 year old cousin recommended it to me and since I'm 13, I was skeptic about starting it because I thought it might be boring or just for kids. But as soon as I finished the first ark, I was hooked. These books are engaging, funny, violent, and create beautiful scenes in your mind. As for this book, there's a lot riding on it, (hence it being the final book in the 2nd ark.) And I think Tui handled it PERFECTLY. Qibli is a awesome, intelligent, humorous character that is perfectly suitable for the final book in the ark. I was never bored when reading this book, and Darkstalker and Vulture are truly phenomenal antagonists. The side characters like Winter and Moon contribute to the book too. SPOILER ALERT: Darkstalker desperately wanting Clearsight just like Qibli desperately wants Moon is great, the Icewing plague is great, the war is great, Qibli turning down Darkstalkers offer to make him an animus is AMAZING, and Peacemaker is a great resolution. However, when I was reading other reviews for this book, a majority of the 1-Star reviews were because of the "inappropriate" lesbian content at the end, and that annoys me big time. Your children can marry whoever they want, I have a friend whose parents are lesbien, and they are one of the nicest families I know. A boy doesn't have to marry a girl and a girl doesn't have to marry a boy, they marry whoever they click with. Plus, we already have racial segregation going on, lets focus on fixing that without starting new ways to attack people who are different. There were also some reviews saying that they were unhappy about Qibli getting Moon instead of Winter, but don't worry! Qibli clearly states in chapter 8 that him and Winter will eventually end up getting married!;) Anyways, thank you so much for reading this review! If you are torn between buying this book on the kindle or waiting to get it at the library/borrowing it from someone, I recommend buying it because you will have an excellent book forever and will be able to re-read it. Thanks again and enjoy this book!!!:)

This book is amazing and highly inspirational, wrapping you up in a tight blanket of suspense, thrill, action, mystery, and loyalty. The characters eminate a glow that makes you feel their love, hatred,and both hopefully and hopelessness. Occasionally you simply must giggle or smirk or flinch or squeeze your kindle so hard it pops. A thick, vivid world is created, scenes are painted both beautifully and tragically, and you just can't help but feel a tingling feeling, more than simple satisfaction, when you turn the lat page of this marvelous tapestry of a book. IT BETTER NOT BE THE LAST ONE.If there happens to BE a next book, ( of which I am hearing soepeople say they loved the " series finale" and some writing they are eager for the next ( or five? ) books) I hope the narrater will be for Moon or Kinkajou. Honestly, this book was fanominally breathtaking, but Moon Rising was my second, due to character perspective and events. I love it when authors give you a hint or a detail beforehand in the book that presently seems dirley insignificant and turns out to carral all the story and make you bubble with anticipation and think WHY DIDN'T I NOTICE THAT.Meanwhile, Kinkajou is a ferociously wonderful butterfly of loyalty, a well- formed character who can only be described as teeming with strong joy that is only given to her - nope. Her joy is given to her friends AND all those aroud her, whether they like it or not, no matter how adorably annoying she may be. She is above and beyond the dictionary description of lovable. It would be equally fascinating to see the Jade Winglet's next adventure through her eyes.And then there is Clay. He started off this series, so why shouldn't he finnish it? ( Not that the next book should be the last one. It better not. )Finally there is " The Legends " . I strongly believe and suggest that there be at the least one more Legend book, regardless of what dragonly tale and\ or secrets it behold.One more thing: enemies. Exquisite. Darkstalker could be both loathed and empathised, and often an unstable combination of both. But by far my favorite villan was Queen Scarlet. A refreshingly evil female; powerful, clever, and you couln' t think she was good. Never. True, Darkstlker was a great nemesis, a simply ( almost ) indestructible challenge, but no one was as thirsty as Queen Scarlet. Revenge- wise, power- wise, and blood-wise. I know spreading out the evil amoung characters is good, but have a truly COMMON enemy. P.S. : These books are plain amazing. Once diving in, there' s no diving out from Sutherland's WONDERFUL series brimmed with action, color, betrayal, love and DRAGONS.

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 Darkstalker’s enchantment on the other dragons and stop Darkstalker from taking over the world.We learn a lot about Qibli’s 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.

This is my sons favourite book, everything came as expected and as shown in the picture.

very good

Good quality

Okay, I'm not gonna lie, the first half of the book was fire. I like Moonbli and the whole plot seemed very arranged and nice. so...yeah. But the second half sorta disappointed me. Don't get me wrong, I'm a writer too, and I understand how hard it is to write proper plots, { spoiler aler }but the way darkstalked got finished made me...just disappointed. No action, no suspense, just... S T R A W B E R R I E S. Such an uncool way to kill a supervillain honestly. The strongest supervillain, mindreader, futureseer, literally invincible, and they died with a straberry? Other than that, loved it!
