The dragonets of prophecy are tired of being hidden in a cave where they are ridiculed day after day by their three dragon keepers. But everything changes when a nightwing comes to see how the dragonets are doing only to find out that instead of the required skywing, a rainwing stands in its place. Now the dragonets have to fight to keep themselves and each other alive.
This was such an interesting book because the main characters are dragons but in this world there are still humans. So the perspective does take a little bit of time to get used to but once you do, this book is an adventure.
First the characters, I thought that the characters were very good, if slightly simply written. Their wants are very simple which makes sense because they are meant to be young. One thing that I wasn't totally sure about was how quickly the dragons age so it was hard to get a firm grasp on how mature the dragonets were supposed to be. The other dragons were really interestingly written and their characters were beautifully rendered.
Next, the setting. The setting is a little hard to talk about because we mostly stay in the same place for this book. However, I though it was beautifully written. The words that the author choose were well picked and descriptive. I'm curious to see how the rest of the places are described.
Finally, the plot. This book is really interesting to be a book designed for younger ages. There is a lot of violence within this book but it doesn't feel out of place. Every action that happens makes sense and the background is super interesting.
Overall, this book is super interesting and I'm excited to read the rest of the series.
