Did it feel like filler? A little
Did I love it anyway? Absolutely!!

-I was not sure how a Snowfall POV would be handled but she was pretty awesome as well as hilarious. Her banter with Lynx was fun and entertaining and while her development did feel a little rushed, I was still rooting for her.
-The crown thing was a little out of the blue and a solution that was a little too easy considering everything that has happened between IceWings and NightWings so I hope that isn't just all forgotten about and is actually explored a little more.
- The scavenger plotline was also very out of the blue and slightly jarring, although I loved the dynamic between Snowfall and Sky, I hope scavengers won't be such a big part of the plotline in he future as the dragon stuff is a lot more interesting.
-The Jerboa/Jerboa II parts were by far the best section of the books and were actually absolutely terrifying and disturbing, I was not expecting that in a series recommended for ages 10-12- but that's not a bad thing! I like that Tui isn't afraid to go dark with her plotlines!
Overall, this was definitely the weakest of The Lost Continent so far but I do still have high hopes for 15!

Favorite book in the entire Wings of Fire series. It illustrates some very beautiful character development in its own self-contained story about Snowfall while still advancing the plot of the lost continent series.
