I have talked(repeatedly) about the series Wings of Fire by Tui T. Sutherland in two of my blog posts. The 4th is even resting beside me, three quarters of the way finished, as I’m typing these exact words(I’m also in my pajamas, but nobody needs to know that). And yet I haven’t, for some totally and completely bizarre reason, mentioned, even once, these books in any of my reviews. Today we’re going to change that. To start from the beginning, I’ll tell you about the first in the series, The Dragonet Prophecy. I got introduced with these books in 2nd grade by a friend, and fell in love with them. There’s nothing more adventurous, friendship-inspiring, and suspenseful than this series. Tui has a truly special way of writing to captivate the reader and immerse them in a world of magic and dragons. She is one of my favorite authors out there.

The Dragonet Prophecy starts because of a Sandwing war. The former queen, Oasis, was killed by scavengers and her three daughters, Blister, Blaze, and Burn, were left to determine who would now be the ruler, dragging the whole dragon continent, Pyrrhia, into a raging war. Blister got alliance with the Seawings and Queen Coral, while Blaze allied with Queen Glacier of the Icewings and most of the Sandwings. Burn sought allegiance with Queen Moorhen and the Mudwings, as well as Queen Scarlet of the Skywings. The Rainwings, in the rain forest kingdom, and the Nightwings, hidden in their mysterious home, were not involved in the war. The Nightwings themselves were busy foreseeing the Dragonet Prophecy, which foretold of five dragons born on the night when all three moons were to be full. Those dragonets, when they got older, were supposed to choose a queen and stop the great war.  But problems arose from the start when the Talons of Peace, a dragon group who worked on stopping the war and keeping the five dragonets hidden, lost the Skywing egg and got a replacement from the Rainwings, a tribe that’s known for being very lazy. Later, more issues come for the Talons of Peace, as the five dragonets escaped. Tsunami, a bossy and fearless Seawing, Starflight, a smart and nervous Nightwing, Glory, a Rainwing full of sarcasm, Clay, the good-hearted Mudwing, and Sunny, cheerful and full of happiness. Sunny is also an unusual Sandwing with her strange golden color, green eyes, and no poisonous tail barb. The five were captured by Skywings soon after they make their getaway; from one prison straight to another. As they all try to survive Queen Scarlet’s deadly arena, a new dragon appears, trying to find her true meaning in life,  Glory finds a strength she never knew she had, and Clay goes to the Mud Kingdom, searching for his parents, only to find something unexpected instead. Will the dragonets survive? Or will they die before their prophecy can be fulfilled?

Like I’ve said before, I’m beyond flummoxed about why I’m never mentioned anything about these books in my book reviews before. they are lovely and past exciting. Tui T. Sutherland is seriously the BEST writer ever(among others:). Are you someone who likes fantasy, magic, dragons, and adventures? This series is for you, and you must get the first immediately. That’s a fact. If you like them, there are fourteen more in the series, as well as five graphic novels. Number six in the graphic novels is coming this December, so I’m certainly looking forward to that. The art is so awesome to look at. Mike Holmes, the artist, does a fabulous job. Anyway, I’m sure I could spend all day raving about how amazing this series is, but you probably have things to do or places to go, so I’ll let you be. See you next time, everyone!
