And we move to Starflight, the Nightwing of the group, to meet the rest of the Nightwings! If you thought the other dragons had to “manage their expectations”, wait til you read what Starflight learns about his own tribe.
The Big Reveal is what’s been building as Morrowseer’s machinations have continued, which I won’t reveal here, but savvier readers have no doubt already guessed it. That, coupled with the Big Disaster that leaves an entire island destroyed, and a Rainwing tribe faced with giving shelter to hostile dragons who had other plans.
The ending of this episode has Blaze, Blister and Burn all shifting as they simultaneously decide to disregard the prophecy and end the war each in her own way. In other words, either our Dragonets of Destiny end this war or the three queens will end them!

This was actually such a risky move, not only solely focusing on the least developed character and most pacifist character but also separating him from the rest of the dragonets. It was definitely what he needed though and like all the books, proved his mettle with how he handled himself without the other dragonets making decisions for him or fighting his battles.
~spoilery-ish?~
This same tactic is used in the next book, separating Sunny in much the same way and was again, a risky move that (agaaaain) paid off.

This is seriously becoming one of my favorite middle-grade series.
The kids and I really love this book series. I am so glad there are so many of them. We are flying through them!
-The cliff hanger from last book made me excited to read this one. Despite this book being a kidnap story it is really boring. It is just the dragonets staying with the NightWings. I prefer if we got the POV of someone in the rainforest.
-Starflight is my least favorite POV with my least favorite book so far. He doesn’t do as much and spends too much thinking about Sunny.
-I don’t really ship Starflight and Sunny because they don’t have that much chemistry. They don’t have that many scenes hinting at Starflight’s crush.
-The new dragons of destiny are annoying except for Fatespeaker. She does still annoying at times like when she wanted to find the queen which sounded like a bad idea.
-i really like Glory though and her progress in being queen. She is my favorite right now.
-the plot twist was okey. I am curious what the dragonets decided to do in the next book especially when the next book is from Sunny’s POV. I am interested what she will do in the next book.

Definitely the best of the series so far. Starlight is a really interesting character and I hope there will be additional books from his perspective.

Note: Due to the fact that this is book 4 in the Wings of Fire series, this will not be a comprehensive review.
One of the cool things that Sutherland does with her series is she writes each book from a different main dragon’s perspective, and this book is written from Starflight’s. This allows us to learn to appreciate each character and learn their motivations as we read their book in the series. I personally didn’t need to learn how to appreciate Starflight because I connect with him on a deep emotional level. He has problems being brave and confident as well as getting out of his head and noticing what is happening in the world. As an asocial/socially awkward person, I have a lot of the same problems so he has quickly become my favorite character to read from.
As the NightWing dragons are very mysterious and we don’t know that much about them, I was really excited to read this book. Since this mystery is pivotal to the overall plot of the series, I will not go into details, but I will say that it explained a lot about why the NightWings are the way that they are and why they do the things that they do over the course of this series. Also, a lot of the political intrigue that have been going on behind the scenes is brought to the forefront, and again, I won’t spoil it for anyone. All in all, I loved how the plot gets ramped up in this installment and all the pieces start to come together.
If you enjoy books told from non-human perspectives such as the Guardians of Ga’Hoole series, the Warriors/Seekers/Survivors series, etc., then you will probably enjoy this book. Be aware, though, the 1st two books in this series are very slow, but things really start happening in book 3. I really am starting to enjoy this series, and this book is no expectation. They are nice escapist reads that you can just get lost in for a few hours, and isn’t that the point of reading in the 1st place. 5 stars simply for the fun, escapist aspect!
