A review by lizziehutchings
Moon Rising by Tui T. Sutherland
5.0
Ugh, I love this book so much.
"You're a mind reader. All you have to do is walk around the school until you hear someone's mind going, 'Well done, me; tip-top explosion I caused today; aren't I a clever arsonist.'"
I was just about to type that this is my all time favorite in the Wings of Fire realm, but then again there's also Darkstalker and Talons of Power and Darkness of Dragons and UGH THEY'RE ALL JUST SO GOOD!
Obviously, if you can't already tell, I think that the second arc is superior to all other WoF arcs, and this was just a fan*tas*tic intro to this arc.
Storytime. Waaaay back when I was a hecka slow reader I was just hop-skippin' my way through this series, when BAM! I came across this glorious book that I read in one day. Which was quite the feat for little fifth grade me, I tell you. And my love for this book has not decreased at all. (This was also the very first book that I re-read for fun).
It was amazing to get to read it again from a more critical standpoint, because I just love seeing how amazing of an author Tui T. Sutherland is. She really personifies these dragons to reflect such important themes and qualities. Who knew I'd ever be saying that a troupe of dragons are such good role models. I keep ranting about how good these books are, and that they changed my life, and I'm not joking. Perhaps you readers won't have such a high opinion of them reading for the first time as (you know) mature adults. But I just love them, so, I don't know, have your children read them or something.
I also love Sutherland's humor, the banter is *literally everything* in these books, and the sarcasm is amazing. I just--agh.
Have a fantastic evening
