A review by jpanslabyrinthofbooks
Sunwing by Kenneth Oppel
4.0
Honestly, Oppel's continuation of the young bat's journey had me fascinated and shocked - this book was much darker than I originally thought.
Following Shade and Marina's journey in trusting the Humans to help fulfil Nocturna's Promise, while being hunted down by Goth and the ever-present threat of a war on the horizon between bat's and owls, was utterly adventurous and gripping. There are multiple plot points and storyline that interlink and accumulate to an epic conclusion. Some answers still yet to be revealed and new story lines opened, which will hopefully be resolved in the final installment.
Seeing these young bat's go through some gruelling treatment and harsh environments was thrilling and at times, worrisome. I can see why the book teeters on the edge of Children and Teen Fiction books - there is some dark imagery and scenes that unfold. However, for an older reader, this made the book more enjoyable.
Overall, Oppel has created an amazing sequel and I'm excited to finish the series and hopefully find out all the answers I need!
