I found this book to be painfully hard to read compared to the previous in the series. To me, it was slow from beginning to end, which then surprised me by blinding Starflight which I found unnecessary but it happened. I pushed through so I could finish the series. Despite this book, the future books of the series were great.

The pacing was not great here, especially after the action-packed and wonderfully balanced previous installment. The first half was harder to get through and far less interesting. I didn't even feel we learned enough about the Nightwings, except perhaps what happened to Queen Battlewinner and Mastermind as the evil scientist. We didn't quite understand the Nightwing powers, which would seem like one of Starlight's top curiosities about them.

I did like the outcome of the "fight" between the Rainwings and the Nightwings. It was fitting for the series and the whole premise of the prophecy. Even if it was false, it seems like it was a good thing to raise different types of dragons together.

This was really fast, and I loved to read Starflight's point of view, but I need to say that I'm somewhat disappointed to know that Starflight doesn't have NightWing powers as I expected since the first book when Clay said that Starflight doesn't had powers, but he hummed, but my brother explained me that no NightWing have powers without being exposed to the moon(s).

Aside from that, Starflight was amazing and the book gave me what I wanted to read and it was really good, specially the romance, that's really cute, I want to see more in the last book and finally gave an end to those SandWing princess that I don't like.

(Please make Sunny the queen)

So I have to say, this book has similar pacing issues that I had with The Lost Heir. It seems very slow at the start but picks up way more towards the end. Although I suspect that's so we can spend time letting it sink in just how much the Nightwings as a tribe struggle and what their motivation in this war is. As far as the character focus being on Starflight, it's great to see our boy gain confidence and the strength he needs to protect what's important to him and not be as passive. I hear alot of people consider this to be their least favorite book in the first arc, but for me, this is the second weakest. The introduction of Fatespeaker definitely helps, since she helps to push Starflight out of his comfort zone and take chances which he would never do before.

starflight went through so much development I am so proud of him
THO I am about 99.9% sure that sunny is gonna reject him in the next book rip my poor boy
Super exciting tho, rolling right off the momentum of the previous book, throws lots of shit we think we know about nightwings and the prophecy into a blender and spits it back out like wtf
Super excited

I've enjoyed every Wings of Fire novel so far, and this ones no different! Though it was full of shocking twists and revelations, I could barely put it down! Learning more about the Nightwings situation, and that final decision at the end... super interesting!
