That's some good points. However, i feel it won't be the end of the series because we would have gotten more forewarning about it. It also seems strange to introduce an entire new continent of dragons just at the tail end of the series where we don't really see them interact with the old tribe. I would also dislike book 14 more because it has some interesting consequences that'd be interesting to play out. Show I could see her taking a break or doing a timeskip after arc 3, but I don't see it being the finale

What a
disappointment. If you want to enjoy this book, I’d say just don’t go with any expectations whatsoever. Because all those things you think are going to happen and are so excited about? Nah. They just don’t. The thing about this book is that nothing that does happen in it is necessarily bad, it’s what doesn’t happen that bothers me so much. Blue is almost nonexistent in this book, Luna doesn’t use her flamesilk for anything more useful than making lights, and worst of all, there’s
no big battle at the end! (there is a battle, but it happens pretty much off-screen and doesn’t last that much). It’s all just too easy! It wasn’t all bad, though. I enjoyed the bits about the Scorching, some of the new characters (love you Dusky), the friendship between Luna and Cricket, etc. The overall idea for the book was good: it just wasn’t right for the ending of this arc. And I think that’s my main problem with The Flames of Hope: it’s not a bad story, but it is a bad
conclusion. It doesn’t tie up any loose ends and at times it just pretends that previous books or characters never existed or had any relevance at all. For example, while Freedom’s (who was just recently introduced) character arc was great, Wasp (who was the main villain for the first half of the arc) didn’t even have a proper ending to her character (she was literally just sent to jail. Offscreen. It still hurts to think about). This arc was decidedly the messiest Wings of Fire’s ever
had. The first three books established a clear plot, villain, and objective, but then the fourth one came out and it seemed like one very long spin-off. I enjoyed it, though, despite the fact that I knew it would only further complicate things for the arc going forward. And turns out I was right! ‘Losing’ that book really took a toll on the overall arc quality; the ending was rushed and did a terrible job at closing any previous plots. And now here’s the part where, despite everything
I’ve talked about, I explain how excited I am for the next arc anyway. Because I can’t stop myself. But really, this is just Darkness of Dragons all over again. All I can hope for is that these disappointing arc endings don’t end up becoming a habit.
"The sky was full of dragons." Give me a minute while I go scream into a
pillow. Okay, I'm back now. I am so sad. So sad. But everything's fine. It's fine. It's not like I've lived vicariously through these fictional dragons for the last seven years of my life. Hah. This book was just really good. All of the classic Wings of Fire elements were there for me. Did I think it lived up to my other favorite Wings of Fire books? No. Nothing can beat Moon Rising, Darkness of Dragons, or Darkstalker. T Give me a minute while I go scream into a pillow. Okay, I'm back now. I am so sad. So sad. But everything's fine. It's fine.

All of the classic Wings of Fire elements were there for me. Did I think it lived up to my other favorite Wings of Fire books? No. Nothing can beat Moon Rising, Darkness of Dragons, or Darkstalker. This was like 2nd tier WoF book. The Dangerous Gift was a massive fluff book before this, and it was sooooo worth it though. I would say that this book is a really solid Wings of Fire book, but not a great Wings of Fire conclusion. I personally would rather Sutherland merge books 14 (the fluff book) and 15, then give us one of her real conclusion novels like The Brightest Night and Darkness of Dragons. I would have really like to see more plotline merging and epic battle royale like from her other books. Between the book right before this and the conclusion of the previous arc, I think it's safe to say that one of Sutherland's greatest and most prominent theme was empathy. At the end of Arc 1, Tui created such an action-packed, adventure-filled series about inherently violent creatures. In Arc 2 she took it a step further and created intertribal connections that dove her readers deeper into the world of Pyrrhia. With book 11, she gave us a new continent with new dragons, and deeper concepts. (I mean, how many children's fantasy books tackle slavery?) And with the final book of the Wings of Fire Saga, she wrapped up her incredibly complex worlds with 330 pages in promoting peace, love, and empathy. Luna was the perfect protagonist to end this series on. It felt only fitting. She was one of the first rebellious Silkwings we got to know (RIP I still wish Swordtail got a POV), and the last to share her moments with us. The whole middle part of the book was just so fascinating and well executed, and the ending was lovely. I just wanted a longer epilogue like book 10, Darkness of Dragons) where Tui revisited all her characters before the end. I still hope we get a novella with more closure. I have one thing to critique, and it's really small, but it really frustrated me. The ways Tui T. Sutherland has woven in LGBTQ+ representation in her novels in the past have flown really well and worked coherently with her world. Unfortunately, in this novel though, she wrote something that totally took me out of her world, which for a fantasy writer, is the greatest sin. Anyways, I would like to end on a positive note, by saying thank you. Thank you, Tui, for giving me such an imaginative, dragon-filled childhood. I'm honestly getting emotional typing this because this series has been everything to me, and I'm so sad it has come to an end. I will forever love the dragons that I was inspired into drawing, and the stories I was urged into writing. Thank you, Tui, for coming to my school and signing my book. I will forever remember this series as what made me a reader. <3 ~~edit 04/10/22~~ THIS IS IT.

If there is another tribe of new dragons it wouldn’t make sense since we haven’t gotten past the problem of queen wast so introducing more dragons so soon would throw off the balance of the books and making the quality go down. Also stop rating books before they come or before you reed them especially when the book doesn’t even have a name or cover page. I’m sorry If this comment offends anyone
Apr 06, 2022 Orlith rated it liked it It seems golden days of the series are long gone. I feel that over time story
focused on younger and younger audience, until it ended up being hug story with silly dialogues without any tension. Remember how in arc one dragons were being stabbed through head, burned to death, and locked in neverending war?

Apr 19, 2022 Kacey rated it it was ok This third arc has been pretty hit-and-miss with me, and the final installment was
a definite "miss". It's a shame because I fell in love with the first series and the second series was just as amazing, even if the conclusion was a bit of a cop-out for the villains. But this one started off with an interesting idea and a truly terrifying villain, only to peter out at the last minute into this. I think I've expressed enough times how disappointed I am that humans developed a large role in this ser I think I've expressed enough times how disappointed I am that humans developed a large role in this series. It was a much
more unique take to have them be pets or prey for the dragons. The way humans were involved in this last one had me rolling my eyes. I don't like to drop spoilers in my reviews, so all I have to say is how lackluster the final antagonist ended up being. We had so many great ones in the past two series. What was building up with the devil plant was much more interesting than what we ended up with. This book also seemed to sideline the characters a lot. Our POV character is not active for
most of the story, and she's separated from other characters for a large portion as well. We don't really get to know what those characters are doing, which is a shame because they were all built up either in past installments or in this one (in the case of Bullfrog) to have some great dynamics between them. But no, we get Luna with a brand new character and a lot of exposition dump. Thinking back on how the last two series had such epic final scenes, this one feels like it went out with a
whimper instead of a bang. I admit I did still end up crying, but in all honesty the character involved was so under-developed and annoying that what happened didn't feel entirely earned. If it was a character we knew and had followed along with for several books now (like Blue or Cricket) then I think it would've hit a lot harder. I refer back to the first series again where Starflight is permanently blinded and Clay was wounded so he walks with a limp. Characters were killed, tortured,
burned, and the readers were treated like a mature audience. This series felt messy and this book particularly felt like it was preaching a certain message. I'm not sure if I'll be coming back to this if there are more books. Especially if the human characters keep getting larger roles. I'll stick to the first two series, thanks.
Apr 06, 2021 Anastasia rated it it was amazing Alright, this is gonna sound crazy but I think this book should be in the perspective of the missing Queen Moorhen sent. I feel like Mudwings have the least amount of representation in the whole series. The book in the perspective of a mud wing is the first one and after that we hear very little about mudwings. And this mudwing is the only one of the journey who we know nothing about. Pls tell me if this sounds crazy or if you think it’s actually a good idea.

Tsunami, Sky, Wren, Lynx, Sundew, Luna and Cricket. Personally, I loved them all and I thought they were fun. While we're talking about characters, I want to say that I liked the epilogue too. I thought it was sweet and I really felt like Luna, Blue, Cricket, Sundew and Swordtail were friends, which is something that I felt was kind of missing with the arc 1 and 2 crew. I do wish that Snowfall was friends with the other protagonists, though. It makes sense why she isn't, she barely knows them,
but it kind of makes Snowfall unconnected from the Pantalan protagonists (and Pantala in general, honestly). I liked Luna quite a lot too. I liked her love for tapestries, her desire to save everyone, her "just keep smilling" attitude and her relationship with Swordtail, but I really wish she was more proactive. She did some stuff, but she was stuck with Cottonmouth, Freedom and Dusky for… a pretty alarmingly big chunk of the book. She was presented as this dragon who wanted to save
everyone, so it was kind of underwhelming when she barely anything. Okay, let’s talk about Cottonmouth. I hated that guy. He's got no depth and he is really cartoonishly evil. He and Freedom (and the humans in general, honestly) came completely out of nowhere in this arc and I feel like there wasn’t really any set up for them. And I think that’s one of the biggest problems with this book - Freedom and Cottonmouth came completely out of nowhere and because of them taking up such a
massive chunk of book 15, some things that have been set up in books 11-14 never got a proper conclusion. Sure book 15 was a creative book and I really didn’t see any of the Freedom and Cottonmouth stuff coming, but I really would have preferred it if this book continued to focus on Queen Wasp and the politics between the Hivewings, Silkwings and Leafwings. The biggest thing that didn’t get a proper conclusion was easily Wasp. Wasp was horrible, she mind controlled the Hivewings, she
destroyed the Leafwings’ home and trees and she made Silkwings’ lives awful. Almost every Pantalan dragon was somehow negatively affected by her actions. You wanna know what her ending was? “Wasp was imprisoned in her own flamesilk cavern, along with all of her sisters.” Yeah. That’s it, just this one sentence. The protagonists spent five books describing how horrible Wasp was and her ending was “She was put in prison off-screen, everything’s good now lol”. Okay. Anyways, I
haven’t talked about Freedom yet, so let’s do that. I think she’s a good character. I think that the way she reacted to the situations she was in made a lot of sense and her sacrifice was sad, I felt really bad for her, but at the same time, I kind of had a hard time getting very immersed into her backstory, it was a little too… nonspecific for my liking. I’m a bit conflicted about Freedom’s nonchalance and humor, it makes a lot of sense for her character to be that way, but it really took the
immersion out of some scenes. (hide spoiler)]
Apr 13, 2022 Audio Junkie rated it did not like it Parents be warned. This book was very disappointing. I was saddened by the authors choice to indoctrinate children
into all the woke talking points. The author promotes, gender fluidity, the use of plural pronouns for a singular individual, LGBTQ relationships, even touched on climate change, and a vilification of men as the root of evil. This book was written as a pandering piece to identify the author's allegiances to wokism. This is evidenced by the use of plural pronouns when a character is This book was written as a pandering piece to identify the author's allegiances to wokism. This is evidenced by the use of plural pronouns when a character is introduced, but changing to singular pronouns later in
the book when referring to the character again. It is very hard to use them and they pronouns and have the reader understand who is doing what in a scene. So, the author reverted back to normal writing and used he and she. To be clear, I have no problem with an adult book having this content. The fact that this is a tween/teen, children's book is my problem. I have read all the wings of fire books up to this point, but I will never read another one because of the woke agenda.
The Final book in the Wings of Fire series was both excellent and a highly satisfying ending. After a long-awaited interim, this book did not disappoint. Excitement, action, and fantastic conclusions to all story lines left me feeling bereft, but still content.

My son and I often talked about which dragon we were most like and I struggled with all the heroes and heroines of the books until this one. I am, without a doubt, Luna. My favorite dragon by far, her periods of self-doubt, depression, and her constant need to help in a non-violent way was something I could completely relate to. In her own way, she was the ultimate hero of the story, bringing everyone together at the end to do what was needed, and even going to far as to (almost) sacrifice herself for the greater good. Sutherland did an amazing job of reminding us of all the characters and their individual personality traits, even though there were so many, that we couldn’t fault her for such a long wait between books. I had forgotten much but was easily drawn back into the story with the subtle reminders of the storyline and where we left off. My most favorite part of the whole book, was the end, not the resolution per say, but the overall feeling of kindness and goodwill. Sutherland is an expert at addressing the issues of racism and hatred when we examine the differences between us, and showed this problem expertly, and even gave ways and ideas to deal with these problems, starting with looking into ourselves. We can see how Luna feels about Cricket, the Hivewing. How at first she almost despises her, because her people/dragons hurt so many of those that she loved. But through her thoughts and feelings, she can see her work through these feelings throughout the book, in the end, overcoming the hate and replacing it with love and friendship. Cheezy, yes, but so very much needed in today’s world. Whether it be race or gender or religion or political beliefs, this book showed that differences can be overcome and even result in positive outcomes so matter what those differences are. A message that I wish all children and adults could learn. So a lesson wrapped up in a phenomenal story, that was very well written. I highly recommend this series, for children, and for parents, to read with their children. It could be a great conversation starter. ...more

Literally. Othermind is a powerful, complex problem. To defeat it, a powerful, complex solution that the characters gradually work toward achieving is needed. That is... not what we get. Honestly, looking back on this book, pretty much nothing happens. It's a lot like Book 14 in that sense. All of the action and plot twists that fill the previous 13 books completely vanished in this one. I think one of the big problems is that in the past, Tui gradually revealed world-building
elements and plot "secrets." She made characters active agents in the discovery of those secrets. Here, the big reveals are thrown at the reader in really lengthy chunks. Like, certain segments are basically a history book. Where's the plot? Tui has become to reliant on visions of other dragons to tell the story. A lot of the interesting things that happen have nothing to do with Luna at all, which really weakens the plot and the connection the reader feels with it. It's a lot less gripping to
experience a scene through Luna's vision than through actually being there. I'm so sad that the series ends like this. I wish there were a more rewarding conclusion to this arc. Honestly, it doesn't make sense to read past Book 13.
Okay look I’ll disclaim that arc 3 is my least favourite of all of them but I’ve missed this series so much. It was literally all I read as a child. I still read it as arc 3 was coming out. Waiting for these books was hell. It’s such a long series but I still want there to be an arc 4 idk why (it won’t be as good as arc 1) but I never want this series to end but I also do I love this series so much but it needs to end but i hope it never ends <3

May 03, 2022 Barb Middleton rated it really liked it I like how the author puts in moral dilemmas in her books and is inclusive. Queen wasp is an authoritarian leader or dictator who people blindly follow even when they find out they are being manipulated. I didn’t think this story was as focused as others in the series but I enjoyed it. It just took me longer to get into it than normal.
It is a good ending to the group of five books but it started to drag on. There were good moments but there were long stretches of nothing happening. Would still recommend reading as it is a good book but didn’t fully meet my expectations.

I hold with Corrie ten Boom’s father’s wisdom of deciding what is and is not “too heavy for their suitcase”. So, here’s why I read it aloud. There is a human character introduced (Axolotl) who goes
by the “they” pronoun. This character, in my opinion, had basically zero point other than helping through a cave. And wanting to learn to read and speak dragon. But Axolotl is a filler character and in the book for no reason. And the entire use of the pronouns “they” or “them” is incredibly confusing as a reader! Words mean things and should add clarity to a story. I just changed the pronouns to “she” and “her” as I read aloud. Helpful to know that only one person is pinned under dragon claws
and not two or more… Also, in chapter 23, we get an introduction to the male dragon, Pineapple’s, boyfriend Jambu. Nothing really happens but some cuddling and pet talk, but I changed that up and moved along in the reading aloud. People will disagree with me and might have some things to say about my opinion, but that’s okay. I’m the parent of my kids and no one else’s, but people should know to make their own decisions. Okay, I know what you’re thinking. Tui? What kind of name is that? Is it short for something? Nope. Among the many great things to come out of New Zealand (the Lord
of the Rings movies, cats that paint, my mom) is a bird called the tui—not as well known as the kiwi, but a heck of a lot noisier!

Among the many great things to come out of New Zealand (the Lord of the Rings movies, cats that paint,

I was born July 31 (same birthday as Harry Potter!) in Caracas, Venezuela, and lived in Asuncion, Paraguay; Miami, Florida; and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, before moving to New Jersey in high school, where I started doing theatre—mostly backstage work, because (a) it was fun, and (b) you got to hang out in the dark with cute boys. (Er, I mean . . . because it was artistically fulfilling,
yes.) I graduated from Williams College in ’98 and I currently live in Boston with my husband, my perfect new baby, and my adorable yoodle Sunshine (what’s a yoodle? A puppy that’s three-quarters poodle and one-quarter Yorkshire terrier, of course!). Much to my parents’ relief, I abandoned my theatrical aspirations after college for the far more stable and lucrative career of fiction writing. My first two official books were beginning readers, part of Grosset & Dunlap’s
“First Friends” series for kids learning to read. MEET MO AND ELLA is tough to find now, but FUN WITH MO AND ELLA should still be out there somewhere. My first novel for teenagers was THIS MUST BE LOVE, which retells Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream in a modern-day high school, from the POV of the two heroines, Hermia and Helena. And now I'm writing in a new project called SEEKERS! It's a children's book series that I'm writing with Erin Hunter. Check out my blog to find

She wanted to stuff it into their eyeballs until every HiveWing went, “YES! That world is WAY BETTER than this one! Let’s be like that instead!” Luna wished she had magic. Magic would be so useful for problems like this! Even if it was a magic like Clearsight’s, seeing the future — well, she’d find a way to make it useful! But proper magic, like spells and enchantments and brain changers, like in the old dragon fairy tales, that’s what she really wanted. Something to go, “POOF! Now you are all fair and kind and incapable of cruelty or injustice!” That’s what she needed, but apparently it didn’t exist — or if it had existed, once, in the Distant Kingdoms, now it didn’t work anymore. She traced her claw through the sand with a sigh. The sun was rising behind her, casting golden ripples across the ocean like trails of flamesilk. On the other side of that ocean was Pantala: her home, her mothers, her tribe, Blue, and Swordtail, and they were all in trouble, and it was all a mess, and she didn’t know how to begin untangling it. Before her Metamorphosis, Luna had dreamed of flying. She dreamed of scattering the clouds with her new pale green wings, and she imagined sunshine pouring through her scales the higher she flew.
