The Top Ten
Darkstalker The ancient and powerful NightWing Darkstalker is brought to life, revealing his story from over 2,000 years ago. His abilities to enchant objects and read minds shape his ambitions to rule all dragon tribes. As his power grows, Darkstalker must navigate his relationships and the consequences of his dangerous choices.

Best book in the series, hands down. It had perfect pacing, extremely well-written characters, and a great look at the old NightWing tribe.

I cried while reading Darkstalker. It was so sad.

The SeaWing massacre had me on the edge of my seat. I loved Indigo and Fathom.

Whiteout, Indigo, Clearsight, and Listener deserved more page time though.

I love this book so much!

One of the things I like about it is that it follows multiple characters instead of just one, allowing you to see what led up to certain events and how all the different characters feel about them.

The Brightest Night Sunny, the SandWing dragonet, takes on a pivotal role in resolving the war between the tribes. As she seeks answers about her parentage, she becomes instrumental in finding a peaceful solution to the conflict. Along the way, Sunny makes critical discoveries about herself and her place in the dragon world.

SPOILER WARNING Finally, a book about Sunny, my favorite dragonet! The beginning, even the first page, was filled with action. The NightWings are in the rainforest, Starflight is injured, and Sunny gets kidnapped. We finally get to see how clever Sunny actually is on the inside. And it was so wholesome when Thorn and Sunny reunited (Even if Qibli kind of ruined the moment). Then, Sunny gets kidnapped yet again, and we're thrown into even more epic action and suspense. The ending is beautiful, so beautiful (Everyone says Clay getting bitten was so sad and scary, but I was just laughing my head off at everyone's reactions). Beautiful, classic book, I love it.

Moon Rising Moonwatcher, a young NightWing with the rare ability to read minds and see the future, starts her first year at Jade Mountain Academy. As she struggles with her powers, she uncovers a mysterious force threatening the school. With new friends by her side, Moon must decide whether to reveal her abilities to help protect the dragon world.

I love this book. It's super interesting!

In this book, you meet all the great characters from the second story arc. My personal favorite part is when the flame cactus explodes.

I love it! I've read this book a bunch of times and still can't get sick of it (don't ask).

I kind of like it when Darkstalker popped into Moon's mind and started communicating with her. The part when the dragon flame cactus exploded was also very interesting.

I personally don't see how this one isn't number 1 instead of Darkstalker. This is my favorite book and character.

I thought this was a very good way to start the next arc. Like, come on! If you were to have a book where a character could read minds and see the future - like, WHAT!?

I also thought that Tui T. Sutherland had a very cool and even brilliant idea to have the characters as DRAGONS!

The Lost Heir Tsunami, a SeaWing dragonet, returns to her undersea kingdom to reclaim her throne as the lost heir. She uncovers hidden secrets about her family and faces challenges from those who oppose her rule. As she navigates the dangers of court politics, she must also confront a deadly threat to her life.

When I was younger, I read this book while on holiday with my friends at the Gold Coast.

In my room, I read the part where Orca's statue attacks Tsunami in the hatchery right before I went to sleep.

Me: *Tries to fall asleep.*

Me: *Stares at the bedroom door.*

Outside my room: A bunch of really weird statues that we thought were creepy.

Me: *Looks around the room.*

Me: *Gets out of bed and looks under it.*

Me: *Gets back in bed.*

Me: *Tries to convince myself that I'm safe.*

Room: *Door handle turns.*

Me: *Jumps and smacks head on the wall.*

My mum: "I forgot to give you your water bottle."

Me: *Hides under covers in shame.*

Overall, this book is really great!

P.S.: Just saying, I am not scared of the statue anymore, thank you very much.

Darkness of Dragons Qibli, a SandWing with a sharp mind, faces the dark forces of a revived Darkstalker, who seeks to dominate the dragon tribes. To stop him, Qibli must rely on his intelligence rather than magic, making difficult decisions to protect his friends and the future of the world. The battle between good and evil culminates in an epic confrontation.

This is my absolute favorite book. Why? Because it's about Qibli, my favorite character, and it's very interesting. A lot happens!

My favorite part of this is when the huge, powerful, and mighty King Darkstalker, who has animus magic, gets taken down by a RainWing, a strawberry, and the remains of his scroll. He becomes a small dragonet.

I really like this book.

SPOILER WARNING

I have mixed feelings about this book. First of all, Qibli's point of view makes even the boring parts a little more exciting. The sandstorm, the battle of Jade Mountain, the ending, the beginning, and the part when they were rescuing Turtle were all really exciting scenes.

However, there were a lot of boring parts that overpowered the good ones, such as the whole thing with Vulture and Cobra. That had to be the most boring thing in the entire series. It just dragged on and on, and I just wanted the book to end already.

Thankfully, it got more exciting towards the end, and I was hooked. Still, it's Wings of Fire, so it's awesome, just not the BEST book ever.

The Hidden Kingdom Glory, the RainWing dragonet, journeys to her homeland to discover why her tribe has remained isolated. She uncovers the truth about the mysterious disappearances of RainWings and assumes leadership of her tribe. Alongside her friends, Glory leads an investigation to protect her people from an imminent threat.

Glory is so amazing! I can't believe it is only 6th. It totally should be first! Glory may be sarcastic at times, but that just makes her better.

One of the reasons I like this book is because it introduces Kinkajou, who should totally have her own book. I was disappointed when she didn't. It also introduces Deathbringer, who is amazing, and the RainWings (especially Kinkajou and Glory) are my favorite tribe.

Also, I love how Glory isn't afraid to use her venom (or acid). Although I really like The Dangerous Gift, The Hidden Kingdom is still my favorite.

Winter Turning Winter, a royal IceWing, embarks on a quest to rescue his brother from the clutches of the NightWings. Torn between loyalty to his tribe and his newfound friendships, Winter must confront his past and the strict rules of his IceWing culture. His journey forces him to redefine his beliefs and find his true path.

Winter turns from an arrogant jerk into someone I can relate to and enjoy reading about.

It isn't uncommon for books to revolve around the theme of not fitting in, but this book focuses on it in a very different way for two reasons:

1. He needs to be involved in the Ice Kingdom because of his debt to his brother.
2. The plot doesn't entirely focus on that.

The character development is outstanding, and Pyrite is great. Because this comment was written in 2024, I should mention that the graphic novel has been released, and it is outstanding.

Talons of Power Turtle, a SeaWing with hidden animus magic, must confront his powerful brother, Darkstalker, who threatens to reshape the world. As Turtle grapples with using his own abilities, he works with his friends to prevent Darkstalker's reign. His personal journey forces him to consider the responsibility of his power and the danger it presents.

Boy, Turtle's development! He went from a shy introvert to someone who could stand up to all the bad things in life and face them with confidence. Turtle's fight with Anemone was just the best scene in the whole series.

A lot of people say they do not like this amazing book because they thought it was boring, but those people need to seriously reconsider. The book gave a side character who did not have a story a whole sequence of interesting events and backstories.

Turtle's relationship with Kinkajou was very interesting. I think what Turtle does in this book is severely underappreciated.

The Poison Jungle Sundew, a member of the secretive LeafWings, leads a dangerous mission to uncover the truth about the deadly Poison Jungle. As the LeafWings prepare for war against the HiveWings, Sundew must navigate treacherous plants and unexpected alliances. Her discoveries in the jungle reveal critical secrets that could change the course of the war.

*SPOILER WARNING* It was action-packed and introduced new characters like Hazel, Mandrake, and Nettle. There was a big action scene and twist with Hawthorn when they discovered he was under the Othermind, and when Willow killed him! In my opinion, the ending of the last chapter was good, but the epilogue with Jerboa and Snowfall added too much suspense. I can't wait for book 14!

Definitely my favorite. The Poison Jungle was full of exquisite new characters, such as Hazel, who I adored. Her relationship with Sundew was really cute. I also loved the PoisonWing and SapWing relationship.

Sundew, being my favorite character from all of the Wings of Fire arcs, made this book a lot lighter, and her main POV was very interesting to read. I love this book mainly for its greatly developed characters.

Escaping Peril Peril, a SkyWing with deadly firescales, embarks on a journey to prove her loyalty to her friends and free herself from her dangerous past. Along the way, she confronts her feelings for Clay and her internal struggle with violence. Peril's journey leads her to face dangerous enemies and make choices about her future.

The plot twists in this one were so good. I loved them all so much, and Ruby being Tourmaline was so surprising. Scarlet having a nice side was shocking too.

This is my most re-read book ever. I really love it because we get to see Scarlet's least intimidating side for a bit and witness her 'chemistry' with Peril. It's just so good, and it's really satisfying to see Ruby forgive Peril and realize her mistakes.

Spoiler warning: This book is really underrated! Everyone says it's boring, but it's really not! The most boring part is when Turtle and Peril are going on the journey (and everyone starts shipping Pertle, the worst ship ever), but even that part is really exciting.

The end is the best part. When Scarlet takes over the kingdom and all the drama starts. For those of you who still want a Kinkajou book, admit it, this is ten times better than any Kinkajou point of view could ever be. I love love LOVE this book, and I hope you agree.

The Newcomers

? Wings of Fire: A Guide to the Dragon World This guide provides an in-depth look at the world of Pyrrhia, offering detailed information about the various dragon tribes, their cultures, and histories. It includes maps, illustrations, and profiles of key characters from the series. Readers are given a comprehensive view of the dragon world, expanding their understanding of the series.

This is an exceptional guide. I like how it was written as if it was a scroll actually made by Starflight with notes from Glory, Sunny, Fatespeaker, and everybody.

The reviews of each tribe were interesting, as they seemed to be written by different people even though they were authored by Tui T. Sutherland.

Each tribe description was accurate enough for my liking. The inclusion of the legend of the Scorching was helpful, as I never really had a full understanding of it before. Overall, it is a good book.

I can't say it's my favorite because it's not a real novel, but it is an extraordinary guide.

? The Flames of Hope Luna, a SilkWing with powerful abilities, takes center stage in the final battle to save the dragon tribes from a deadly threat. As tensions reach their peak, Luna must unite the tribes and face the enemy with the help of her friends. The conclusion of the series brings resolution to long-standing conflicts and unveils new hope for the future.

I loved this book! Dusky! Lizard! Drama! I loved every inch of this and absolutely adore it. It had me giggling, grimacing, getting goosebumps, and laughing out loud. A wonderful ending to this series, it deserves to be higher on the list.

Fine. However, I wish Luna was actually in the action. I only put it here because it's slightly better than other books. If I had a choice about how many books I could list as my favorites, this one wouldn't be included. I would have done a top 9.

I almost cried at the end of this book because of Freedom's death. Other than that, it was just amazing!

The Contenders
The Dragonet Prophecy Five dragonets, prophesied to end a great war, are raised in secret by the Talons of Peace. When they escape captivity, they must navigate the complex world of dragon politics and conflicts. The dragonets discover their true destinies as they try to fulfill the prophecy and bring peace to the warring tribes.

This book is very worth reading. It is kind of the beginning of everything. I wonder how you feel about it, but it's confusing. It still makes a pretty awesome start.

Everything seemed more clear when I reread it after the first 5 books.

Also, this book is pretty violent. My mother yelled at me when I used it to freak out my younger sister. It kind of drove her insane. (She's yelling all over the place about how she's extremely mad at Queen Scarlet)

This book started off the series well. The best parts were when they were in the Sky Kingdom and fighting in the arena.

Clay and Peril are very cute together. The funniest and best thing about Clay is how much he loves food. Clay even dreams about food, but this book didn't show that side of him as much.

I liked Clay better in the other books. He was just so hilarious in those.

The Lost Continent Blue, a young SilkWing, uncovers the hidden history of his tribe and the truth about the mysterious HiveWing rulers. When his metamorphosis doesn't go as planned, Blue is thrust into a rebellion against the HiveWings. His journey reveals the long-buried secrets of the lost continent and the plight of his fellow SilkWings.

It's a solid introduction to the third arc. The only strange thing is the huge hole in the roof of the flamesilk prison that let Wasp's most valuable prisoners escape. The Lost Continent starts off kind of boring, but we do learn some of the SilkWing and HiveWing culture and how they treat one another.

There's a strange part where Cricket removes Blue's wristband with a single sliver of flamesilk even though that's not scientifically possible, and the toxin activates out of nowhere. It gets a little boring but also interesting when Cricket is introduced. I've always liked Cricket, but her character seems overused and should have been more developed. She is portrayed as a "I'm good and I'm not supposed to be" character, which feels unrealistic.

I recommend watching Cyprus's "How I Would Rewrite the Third Arc" on YouTube because it's awesome, and I agree with all of it. Cricket should have been portrayed more as a dragon who excused how HiveWings treated SilkWings because she didn't know any better. I would have preferred it if she was a dragon who didn't condone it but saw it as something other dragons did without understanding that it was wrong.

Other than that, it was a pretty good book. I rate it a 7/10 just because some parts were confusing to me and didn't make sense.

The Dark Secret Starflight, a NightWing dragonet, is kidnapped and taken to the NightWing kingdom, where he uncovers the secrets of his tribe. As tensions rise between the NightWings and the other tribes, Starflight must make a difficult choice between loyalty to his tribe and doing what's right. His decisions will have lasting consequences for all dragons.

Me: Gets to the part where Viper dies.
Me: Looks away from red things that look like lava.
Me: Takes a deep breath and looks on the floor.
Me: Looks at my family that is asleep.
Me: Tries to go back to sleep.
Me: Hears a big splash and almost screams.
My mom: Sorry! I was grabbing water!

A lot of people hate this book, but I love it. It takes advantage of the setting not changing to kinda slow down before the finale and get some information. I LOVE Starflight, and his arc here was SO inspiring. It left me with some great setup for Book #5, and it has the BEST final battle in the entire series.

The Hive Queen Cricket, a curious and rebellious HiveWing, seeks the truth behind Queen Wasp's mind control over her tribe. Along with her companions, she uncovers secrets hidden within the HiveWing society and plans to overthrow the oppressive regime. Cricket's discoveries lead to a deeper understanding of the mysteries surrounding the other tribes.

Cricket could have been a better character, like I explained in my Lost Continent comment, and the book didn't make sense for me at parts. But otherwise, I like the book. It has good suspense and mystery. It was also a great follow-up book for The Lost Continent, but it was kind of slow at the end, and Bumblebee is overrated.

It isn't the best book in the series, and I find it not as appealing as the second arc books. It was kind of boring to me at some points, and Lady Scarab turning up at random points was super confusing. Otherwise, 6/10, just because the plot was slow, and it didn't really connect to book 11. - Laurel

Dragonslayer Humans, who live in fear of the dragon tribes, tell their side of the story through the perspectives of three key characters. These individuals are caught in a plot to bring down the dragons, each with their own motivations. Their intertwined fates reveal the complex relationship between dragons and humans in the world of Pyrrhia.

I'm currently reading this because I've finished all the series books. Wren's chapters were the best, with her and Sky. The capital letters in the book were fun to read. Honestly, there was nothing wrong with Wren's chapters. They were well-presented and written.

Ivy's chapters are my second favorite. Ivy and her two friends, Violet and Daffodil, become Wingwatchers and try to find out the secrets of Ivy's father, Dragonslayer.

Leaf's chapters are my least favorite. They were boring and never got to the point, especially when they are trapped inside a box going to be eaten. I mean, Leaf is going somewhere (I haven't finished the book yet in 2023) and at the first chapter he has, he's just such a jerk to dragons and he has to announce it.

Anyway, great protagonists, but anyone can replace Leaf. Rowan would have been a better protagonist than him. - Amethyst the NightWing Animus

The Dangerous Gift Snowfall, the new IceWing queen, struggles with the weight of leadership as she faces threats from both within her tribe and beyond. As war looms, Snowfall must learn to trust others and navigate the dangerous politics of the dragon world. Her journey challenges her understanding of power and responsibility as a ruler.

I love how, in this book, Snowfall goes from being a paranoid, rude, and honestly not-so-great queen to becoming calm, more respectful, and a much better ruler.

This book was AMAZING! I didn't particularly like bossy, Queen-Wasp-type Snowfall, but the Gift of Vision entirely changed her! And as a bonus, the visions were super interesting!

For example, seeing how Jerboa III froze her OWN mother and how SHE broke animus magic. Snowfall was able to UNDERSTAND HER (thanks to the blue vision) and see from her perspective instead of hunting her down and executing her immediately.

I also loved Snowfall and Lynx together. In my opinion, I think Lynx had a major impact on Snowfall, making her a little softer, offering advice, and helping her. Plus, she's hilarious as a bonus!

I think Opal made a very wise decision enchanting the ring to assist imperfect or unprepared queens. It didn't just benefit someone for a little while, but ensured that every future queen could learn from other dragons and see life in their scales.

My favorite part was the end, particularly her last two visions, which honestly made me SO SAD I almost cried. I'd never have thought Glacier really liked Snowfall because of how her personality was in Winter Turning. But what Glacier said - about her fierceness and dedication - showed she would be a strong queen. With the Gift of Vision, she'd be even better.

In conclusion, this book is amazing, and you'd be a fool to deny it!

Assassin Deathbringer, an assassin for the NightWings, is assigned a mission that challenges his loyalty to his tribe. As he carries out dangerous tasks, he begins to question the morality of his orders and his own role in the NightWing agenda. His journey forces him to decide between following orders and forging his own path.

This book brought tears to my eye at the end. This book earns a special place in my heart when it comes to Wings of Fire books. Not my all-time favorite but still a really good book.

Deathbringer is my favorite character in the whole series, and I was upset that he just got a winglet and not a whole book. But this was still the best winglet, and it was pretty good.

Assassin was the best Winglets book.

It's cool to see things from Deathbringer's perspective, and it's a great story. Also, they made Deathbringer too old because now he's nearly twice Glory's age.

Runaway Foeslayer, an ancient NightWing, and Arctic, an IceWing prince, flee their homes to be together, defying their tribes' long-standing rivalry. As they build a life away from their families, their decisions have lasting consequences that reverberate through history. Their story sets the stage for future events in the dragon world.

My friends ALWAYS ask, Are the Winglets ever worth reading? And me? Well, yes! I love the Winglets, especially this one specifically. I'm a complete Foxflake fan through and through.

Have a wonderful day to those who took their time to read this comment!

- Casting Shadows (NightSand Hybrid)

My favorite character of all is Princess Snowfox. I'm obsessed with her. She deserves to be queen, and I wish she had managed to wipe out the NightWings. I can see why not many like the book, but I just love the characters.

Deserter Six-Claws, a SandWing soldier, decides to abandon his post during the SandWing civil war after witnessing its horrors. His journey leads him through dangerous encounters and difficult choices as he seeks to protect his loved ones. Six-Claws' actions reveal the personal toll of war and the complexities of loyalty.

To be honest, hearing Six-Claws' story was really inspiring and relatable. It was well-flowing, too.

My favorite winglet, you get to know a whole lot more about Dune and Six-Claws!

I love this book! I think it's really underrated, and I feel really sorry for poor Dune and Six-Claws. Burn was horrible to them both after they had been hardworking, loyal, and determined to keep fighting, and she was horrible.

Prisoners Morrowseer, a powerful NightWing, manipulates his captives as he plays a key role in the NightWing's secret agenda. The prisoners must navigate a world of lies and deception as they attempt to survive and escape. Their story offers insight into the inner workings of the NightWing kingdom and the lengths they will go to achieve their goals.

Prisoners was a good book! I think this should be in the top 5. But that's just my opinion! -Frost the IceWing/RainWing
