While I loved [book:Silverwing], Sunwing was a huge disappointment. Despite the fact that Oppel ended it on a feel-good note, I didn't like the tone of the entire book. While Silverwing is a beautiful story about friendship and loyalty, Sunwing went in a rather strange direction with humans using the bats in warfare.

My friend really wanted me to read this for a long time. I enjoyed it quite a bit but animal stories just aren't my thing. The plot and characters were really original. It wrapped up very neat for a middle book so I feel no desire to read the third one.

The sequel is very cool. But I don't understand why the humans in this book would tie bombs on the bats. I know they want to destroy their enemies, but can't they think of a better way to do it? That was the weirdest part of the whole book. The rest was great, having Shade defeat Goth, again, by stopping his 100 bat sacrifice and destroying the pyramid. Good book.

Shade, Marina, Chinook, Ariel, and Frieda investigate the secret of the bands, and find humans to be less altruistic than legend would have them believe.
Silverwing was boring, and I would not have continued on to Sunwing if I did not already own it. Surprisingly, I liked the book. It was fast and fun, and hard to put down. It bothered me that the plot was so close to making 'real world' sense, from the point of view of the bats, but the mystical bent annoyed me. (Yes, yes, the talking bat, rat, owl story wasn't realistic enough for me.) I have the next the series, so I'll definitely read on. However, I'm looking forward to it more now than I was before this book.
