lust for power. Childhood neglect and found family. 

Lots more, and fabulous wrapped up, complete with an epilogue offering snapshots from each of the 5 main characters. Plus a book for the next series that I’m struggling to resist, curse it all!

Kudos for again finding peaceful, workable solutions to impending inevitable conflict!

This is another one of my favorite Wings of Fire books.  Qibli is such an interesting character and I love how Sutherland crafted his POV.  I really liked how this book compared Qibli and Darkstalker, emphasizing the parallels between them.  Also, I really enjoyed Qibli and Winter's dynamic.  They're just so much fun to read about!  The conclusion of this book was also really well done with a great build up and a creative conclusion.  The one thing I mildly disliked about this book was how little time Moon and Qibli actually spent together.  And, of the time they did spend together, little of it was really exploring and deepening their relationship.  Other than that, though, I had a great time reading this book.

Wings of Fire was one of my favorite middle grade series. To some extent it still is. However, this book is probably one of my least favorite in the series, though my least favorite overall would have to be book nine.

It came across as a little anticlimactic to me, and I wasn’t a fan of the characters’ resolution of the conflict that’s been building in the last few books. Still, it was a fun read.
