4 stars - a very strong sequel for a very strong series of wonderful fantasy novels.
Sunwing was the sequel that Silverwing needed, continuing Shade's journey to discover the truth behind Nocturna's Promise and the father he thought was dead. This book is quite a bit darker than its' predecessor, covering themes like animal testing and the wars that stem from religion. Kenneth Oppel's inclusion of a real-world military plot involving bats during WWII was an incredibly interesting plot point, and wow what an ending! A strong middle book for this arc that not only leaves me feeling like I had a satisfying ending to Shade's journey but left me wanting more to come. Excited to continue this series.
