Considering this was such a short book, it gave so much more depth and backstory. Six-Claws was a great POV and it was interesting both to get his backstory and the backstories of a few characters integral to the series alongside.

I love the Winglet series. I think that this particular one was shorter than the others, but the content was so telling. I loved how it delved not only into the weirdness of the three Sandwing sisters, but gave important background information to an already well-developed world.

Six-Claws isn't a Wings of Fire character I was very interested in knowing more about before I read this book. I just wanted to finish the Winglets collection and move on to reading other books, and thought going through this was going to feel like a chore. Surprisingly, I had a lot of fun!
While centered around Six-Claws, this book also explores SandWing life and more importantly, its royalty! We get to see more of the SandWing princesses and learn about how they were like before the events of the first Wings of Fire arc.
The interactions we see include the ones between Burn, Blister and Blaze, which I consider to have been peculiarly fascinating! Burn and Blister teaming up to presumably kill Blaze said a lot about who they were and their morals from the very beginning.
About the characters, I was a big fan of Six-Claws and Dune's friendship during the story! I could feel how much Six-Claws cared about him, and the eventual sacrifices he made for his friend's well-being were heartbreaking. Being such a short book, there wasn't enough time for their relationship to develop on page, but I think the author did a good enough job building it.
Burn's weird obsession with Six-Claw's talons and her wicked desire to own them once he was dead was a really nice detail and helped the reader understand how Burn's worldview was like.
The only complaint I had about the book was Kindle. I know she becomes Six-Claw's wife later on, but they barely talked once during the whole book. I'd make their relationship more important or simply not have her appear at all. Honestly, there were times I forgot they were going to be a couple and Six-Claws wouldn't end up with Dune.
The themes about loyalty, authority and respect were, in my opinion, perfectly chosen for this specific story, as they fit Six-Claws character very well. It was quite interesting seeing him struggle with having to decide between being loyal to his principles or being loyal to his queen, and made him a lot more likable as a protagonist.
As always, a really good book! I don't think there was anything super special about it, hence why the three stars, but it was still very entertaining and a short but interesting addition to the Wings of Fire series.

It was actually nice learning more about a minor character and it seemed that Six-Claws was more interesting than I thought.
