Talons of fire was such a great book. There was so much revelations going on. And compared to the previous book, this book started off a bit slow paced. But the ending is great as usual and can't wait to read the next book!

Boring, though I really appreciated the chance to get a closer look at Turtle’s character.

3.5 stars
First book of the New Year - may 2022 prove to be better than 2021…
Book 9 in the series, we follow our unlikely hero - Turtle (love the name) - as we approach the end of the second arc. Like the other books in the series, this book too is about Turtle overcoming his issues and learning to be a better dragon. I will say that all the dragons in this series have had crappy lives in their childhood - I’d like to see a well adjusted dragon soon please.
The author’s particular brand of humour continues - though less muted than Book 8. Turtle is not the most exciting of protagonists as he is a “coward” and generally passive. That is understandable but makes for slower reading than Peril’s book. Resultantly, I found the book bit slow, especially in the middle and my interest meandered a bit.
Going with 3.5 stars in the end as I think this is a fun book for middle grade readers and sets up for hopefully an exciting new chapter in the world. A little slow for my taste but then I am not the target audience.

This book is where the main plot sort of hits its stride, and I think Turtle is the perfect dragon to do that with. He's sweet, he's scared, he's devoted to his family (but also adrift from them in a lot of ways - Sea Wing pun). But he also has the abilities that make this book seem possible at the current point in the series.
I think I felt the most tense throughout this one, and that's probably because Turtle seemed so vulnerable. Of all of the characters, I felt for his backstory the most. And I think his character arc is among the best.
