Hector Kircher - Wings of fire (escaping peril)

-
Since I liked the previous book, I decided to read book 8 of the Wings of Fire series. Just in case you aren’t familiar with Wings of Fire, it is a series where the story is told from the point of view of a dragon and the main character changes in each book. In this book, the main character is a dragon named Peril. She was previously loyal to the evil queen Scarlet, who was supposedly killed in book 1. It turns out that Scarlet was alive, and now she wants to take revenge on Peril and all her friends. So, Peril needs to stop her. This book is pretty similar to book 7, in a sense that the main character sets off on a journey to stop a villain. Although it is also different, because book 7 is more focused on the main character himself, while book 8 has a wider range of “main” characters. I think this makes it better overall because you get to see the perspectives of many different characters. Another thing that book 8 does differently from book 7 is that it is kind of more connected with the lore of the entire series, having references and continuations to previous books whereas book 7 was kind of its own thing. Don’t get me wrong, book 7 was great, but I think book 8 is even better. So overall I think this series gets better each time.

    Hi Hector! I remember the 8th book of Wing of Fire. Personally, I think it is one of the best books so far in the series. The main character is so fun to read about since she has got nice character development. I am glad that you like it.
