Hector Kircher - Last Wings of Fire post (Talons of Power)

-
Since I wrote a blog post about the 7th Wings of fire book and the 8th Wings of fire book, I decided to read the 9th Wings of fire book. If you’ve read my previous blog posts, or if you’re familiar with the series, you probably know that the Wings of Fire series is a series which is told in the point of view of a dragon. Since the main character changes each time, the main character for this book is a dragon named Turtle (confusing, I know) who finds out that the evil dragon from book 6, Darkstalker, has reawoken and someone has to stop him. Turtle thinks that he isn’t the “someone” who can stop Darkstalker so he tries to look for someone who can. However time is running out so Turtle realizes that he might have to do it himself. This book is great because the overall plot is well-thought out and deep and has lots of plot twists. I’ve mentioned this briefly in one of my previous blog posts, but one of the best things about the WOF series is the character development. Every book has a major twist or revelation of one of the characters which changes the books for the rest of the series. For example, in this book Turtle lost his animus powers, which are magical powers that he had in earlier books. Character development really helps the series be interesting and not repetitive, which might be why I think the WOF series gets better and better with every book.

    I have never read any of the WoF books but it seems like the author gives a good display of the message that they are trying to address. Great job Hector!
