Get ready to be wowed by Tui T. Sutherland's first installment in the "Legends" spin-off series! Told from the perspective of three different dragons- Clearsight the NightWing, Fathom the SeaWing, and Darkstalker himself, this beautifully crafted novel shows us what motivated Darkstalker to become the twisted dragon we know well as of the modern arcs. I absolutely adored every page of this book. It gave us rich insight to the history of Pyrrhia, from its normalization of animi to the fact that RainWings' powers were actually well-known, featured in the guide to the tribes, and feared by many. Despite Darkstalker's villainy, he was a character the reader could easily empathize with, and his backstory was fleshed-out, and, in the grand scheme of things, made sense. Clearsight was a lovely POV, although I'd like to get a bit more detail as to why her seer powers were so strong, and if it could happen again in the modern timeline. Fathom's character itself seemed a bit lacking, and it was rather reminiscent of Turtle- now we know why Darkstalker called him that when he summoned him in Talons of Power- but his chapters were filled with action, suspense, and emotion. His past trauma was something rarely explored in middle-grade books such as Wings of Fire, but it was executed wonderfully. The massacre scene was amazingly written, and gave me chills the first time I read it. The three protagonists worked wonderfully together, and Darkstalker's spiral into madness was gradual and extremely interesting to watch play out. I do wish Arctic's death was described in a bit more detail, although I have a hunch that if it was, this wouldn't be a middle-grade novel. Darkstalker's relationship with Whiteout was something I adored- Whiteout was one of my favorite characters, since neurodivergent characters are just so rare in Wings of Fire. She was nicely written and the detail about her scavenger doll was just adorable! Darkstalker's devotion to Foeslayer was also sweet- there is a SERIOUS lack of positive parent-child relationships in Wings of Fire. I liked how Indigo could see through Darkstalker from the start- it showed how Albatross made her far more vigilant. I never saw her plot twist coming! And, speaking of Albatross, he was a sinister character who, despite his early death, managed to be insanely well-written. The writing style of the book also seemed a lot more mature and serious than the main series, a change I personally enjoyed. If you're looking for a novel with dragons, morally gray main characters, and magic, Legends: Darkstalker should be your go-to (although I would recommend reading the main series, first!)

Byx has always struggled to survive. In a country oppressed by people who want to conquer the whole world, staying alive is key...and the Murdano, their twisted ruler, might come for Byx’s species—the dairnes—next. Now, the number of dairnes left in the world is very low—just a group of four families, barely enough to make a pack. But no one thought these rare animals would go completely extinct...until they did. Now, Byx is cast out into the world as an endling; the last dairne ever. She has feared this, ever since she overheard her parents talking about it one day. Survival becomes even harder, as she fights to stay alive. But when she meets Tobble, a creature called a wobbyk; Khara, a human girl who likes to disguise herself as a man; Gambler, a big cat with many principles; and Renzo, a thief, everything changes. Soon, Byx is not only hoping with all her heart that the dairnes will come back someday, but following her last hope. A legend that might save her life...and maybe even find other dairnes who survived the cruelty of the Murdano! As love, sacrifice, and betrayal follow their quest, the five companions must make a huge decision; whether to continue following a legend that may not be true—or do something that will save the whole country from the Murdano’s evil reign. Can they do it? Read this book to find out!

A thrilling read...action-packed and filled with adventure, this book will surely enthrall anyone who reads it. Impossible to put down, and a truly good book. Sasha is a house cat with everything she could want; food, shelter, and a good place to sleep. But when her owners go missing, she must make a choice; stay safe inside the abandoned house, but with no one to care for her? Or leave, only to brave the dangers of the wild? Eventually, she chooses the latter, venturing out into the cold, unknown forest...and that’s when she meets Tigerstar. Tigerstar is the powerful leader of ShadowClan, one of the groups of wild cats who live and hunt in the forest. The first time he meets Sasha, he sees her trespassing on ShadowClan’s territory...and catches her. Sasha is scared, and wonders if she should have gone into the wilderness after all. But then, Tigerstar begins to act friendlier—and they fall in love. Still, Sasha sometimes worries she was wrong to trust the ShadowClan leader...he has many secrets, and some of them are too terrible to be revealed.

this book is really Good so this cat is in jail and on of his friend is in jail too and it his birthday and someone gave him a lot of balloons so the cat trick his friend and he took his balloons and he fly away to his house and when he went inside his house and it was a mess so he need someone like him to clean his house. so he order a clone machine in online and 2 day later, he made a clone and the clone was a baby kitten so the instruction said wait 18 years for your clone to reach adulthood so he's gonna have to take care of the kitten

Matthias starts out as an adorable pup of a mouse and ends up a good and formidable young adult mouse. He is the protagonist and you can't help but adore him, together with Constance the Badger and the old Methuselah mouse... The second favorite of mine, Silent Sam, is plain cute, and the Sparrow and Rabbit are great supporting characters! But the star of the show is definitely the writing style and the enchanted atmosphere of this world. The descriptions are brisk but just enough to give you a feel of the forest and its inhabitants, while the banter is plentiful and lively. The whole book reads very smoothly and there is no chance of you getting lost along the way. I loved all the different characters, and really enjoyed the old-school valiant hero and terrible villain. I also liked that the author didn't shy away from death and pain. Actions have consequences and kids, who often believe themselves invulnerable, eventually have to deal with the changes that come from the passing of someone, and that life changes, but keeps on going... 5/5 star :)

This book is amazing! On the challenging scale, I would rate it a 3 - super good! I rate it a 3 because I learned a lot, but there weren’t many challenging words. What especially surprised me was when Alvar was like, “Huh? Who’s Alvar?” It was a very cliffhanger-y end to the story. I also liked that Sophie got to see Amy/Natalie again. It was funny when Amy got ride on Silveny and she’s all, “Aggghhh! But this is sooo fun!” It would be cool if Amy could teleport with Silveny, but that would be dangerous since nobody knows if Silveny would come back. I think that 4th to 7th graders would benefit from this book the most, since I think that 8 year-olds wouldn’t understand it as much.

I loved this book so much! It was adventurous and had mystery at every turn. My favorite part was when they discovered way the secret zoo and why it had too be kept a secret. the only thing that I didn't like was how it ended on a cliff hanger.

loved it

The Winglets are short stories in the wings of fire universe that give more depth into certain characters and events. This one is centered around Icewing prince, Prince Arctic and his lover Foeslayer. It tells the story of how exactly they escaped the Icewing palace, and Arctic's descent into his abusive, and dark complanitive personality. If you are a WOF fan I highly reccomend getting this book so you can understand certain characters and events better.

I love Wings of Fire! At first, it was a little hard getting into this book, but I eventually finished it and was blown away. This is one of my favorite books in the series as it stars one of my favorite dragons Sundew, a fierce short tempered Leafwing who is trying to save the lost Continent Pantala from the evil Queen Wasp. This book does contain some mentionings of violence, so Iwould say the best age group would be 9+.
