The seven dragon tribes have been at war for generations, locked in an endless battle over an ancient, lost treasure. A secret movement called the Talons of Peace is determined to bring an end to the fighting, with the help of a prophecy -- a foretelling that calls for great sacrifice.
Five dragonets are collected to fulfill the prophecy, raised in a hidden cave and enlisted, against their will, to end the terrible war.
But not every dragonet wants a destiny. And when the select five escape their underground captors to look for their original homes, what has been unleashed on the dragon world may be far more than the revolutionary planners intended . . .
The 411:
The Wings of Fire series is about dragons who are destined to a prophecy they aren’t entirely sure they can fulfill.
What I Loved:
The writing style, most of all. I also liked that each book is written in third person omniscient, centered on a different character.
Um…Not So Much:
At first, the plot is a bit rushed.
The Boys:
It’s safe to say that none of them know what they’re doing. None of any of the characters really know what they’re doing, but especially the boys.
The Girls:
Don’t ever mess with any of them, except Sunny, if you’re mean.
