I didn't like this one as much as hidden kingdom it was a bit slower with soooo many new characters introduced with none of the old ones involved. but it was still good and I'm still invested in the story

Exciting story in a high stakes adventure. I love Starflight’s point of view and can see his character developing in this book.

Actual Rating - 3.5 stars
I am consistently pleased at how much I love the main dragon in each book. For a series which started with a pleasant, but not fantastic, book 1, I am surprised at how well this series has settled.
Usually I try to pace books between series a little more because the books blend together but I wanted to know what happened next with the dragons. This book follows the NightWing dragonet as he is taken to his tribe’s secret home and we learn about plots and secrets.
After a rip-roaring book 3, the violence also returns in the series and I’ve realised that books which feature violence against kids by their guardians / parents are a no-no for me. This was more violent than I liked for my taste and Starflight provided to be a much less charismatic leas than Tsunami and Glory.
The book was not as cute as the previous entry but the action helped quite a bit in keeping my interest. Yes, some of the twists were a little pat but I didn’t expect them or see them telegraphed. Younger readers are sure to be thrilled and kept at the edge of their seats with this.
We spent just a little too much time with new characters to the detriment of the original quartet who really became side characters in this book (except for Starflight). That was a shame as it kept the pacing a little off for me.
3.5 stars for the twists and turns with the overarching plot. That really came together well and I enjoyed seeing that culminate.
Left a little too much to do with the ostensible finale though… ah well

I'm an anxious nerd, so you'd think I'd like Starflight, but eh. It's nice to see him put mysteries together and I enjoyed all the reveals. However, separating Starflight from his friends all book made his lack of charm more apparent to me.
Most of the side characters were boring, except for Fatespeaker who is cool. I really liked her scene with Sunny.
