The New York Times bestselling WINGS OF FIRE saga soars to the mysterious land of the NightWings, where Starflight must face a terrible choice -- his tribe, or his friends?
In the shadows, trouble is brewing. . .The mysterious NightWings keep everything hidden, from their home and their queen to their allegiance in the war. Now they've kidnapped their own dragonet of destiny, and Starflight is finally meeting the rest of his tribe -- whether he wants to or not.
The NightWings have also kidnapped several innocent RainWings, now trapped in the dark, barren, miserable place that is the NightWing kingdom. Starflight wants to help the RainWings, but he's busy saving his own scales and trying to find a way back to his friends. The fate of two kingdoms rests in his talons, and with no one to save him, Starflight will have to find a way to be brave . . . before it's too late.

I bought this for my daughter thinking it was the graphic novel version, not realizing it came in "regular" novel format as well. The book is nice, good cover, decent page weight, and looked great. After discussing it with her, we're going to keep this and get the first books in this format as well as she's now curious to read both formats.I cannot comment to the content of the story as I have not read it, but my daughter and her classmates are all obsessed with this series. Her teacher noted they're begging her to buy them for the classroom as well. These are 4th grade students.
My daughter finished it but was not happy about the ending
Trying to keep up with my grandaughter who reads this series. Glad to get this book at a reasonable price and it arrived quickly Thank you.
My son loved this series.Had to buy a couple of the books online here separately as didn’t come with a set.Great deal when on sale but rarely goes on sale
I have been watching my daughter enjoy these books for years. These along with the Warrior Cats have been such a joy for her.WE will continue to read and treasure them.My issue I will mention it here, iis the delivery.We have at least one person who simply does not know how to deliver.Last night I was texted that he was on his way.I looked at the map because it was late and saw he or she was only 2 or three stops away.I actually sent my daughter out to wait for the book.It never came.Then it came to me that an issue had come up.what issue.We are never told.This happens repeatedly.If I did not pay for 2 day delivery I would not care, but I pay every month for 2 day delivery.I fail to see how a delivery person could not make one more delivery being 2 or 3 stops away.I try to get ahold of Amazon but they only allow one or two ways and comments to make.I pay for this service I should have every effort made to deliver my purchases when I expect them. Or at least offer free two day delivery for actual free.I believe after next month I will buy more at the local stores book and other stores.If Amazon allows my review to be posted (a whole other issue) I hope you will understand I do not dislike the book or the seller it is the delivery that I am having issues with.
I'm reading this series with my 8 year old. I love them as much as she does. The characters are interesting and I love that as the dragonets grow up and have experiences in the stories they learn how to be better dragons. They have good life lessons on humility, love, loyalty, etc. I can't wait to read more.
Honestly, i think this is the best wings of fire book i've ever read. Starflight gets taken by his own tribe, and the NightWing Kingdom is quite terrible.And, now, at Part Three, there's this, "the truth" and the truth is, the prophecy was fake. it was completely made up, yeah. at least, that's what Morrowseer said. and, yeah. but don't lose hope! i didn't. and, yeah, anyway. the end wasn't a "happy ending". still, Starflight made one friend in the NightWing Kingdom. And thats Fatespeaker. i would give this 5-star because Starflight DID warn Glory. so, good evening!
I liked how the Author wrote the story, as if you were the character IN the setting. I disliked how some of the same events keep happening throughout the story, I feel it needs a new twist. Like something we’re not expecting to happen. I definitely would recommend this book to my amazing friend. (Even if she’s read it already.) I chose this rating because the story didn’t play how I exactly I thought it would. It was a great book, but there were definitely some parts that could be changed.
One of our younger readers LOVES this series. This is the fourth part of the story and the dragonets have some volcanic action on their hands - are they indeed the dragonets from the prophecy? If your kiddos enjoy the Warriors series or any sort of fantasy reading, they will love Sutherland's Wings of Fire series. These are probably better suited for the later elementary years as the dragons do commit murder and the humans in the story are mere pillagers that are seen as simple snacks by some dragons. Nothing is too graphic or too violent, but those more sinister elements are involved in the story and could be too scary for a first or second grader.
This is a good book, I read it fairly quickly, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Wings of Fire series. Honestly, though, this is not my favorite of Sutherland's works. I found it a bit....not boring, but not exactly my favorite book. It DOES clear up a lot stuff, and I REALLY love the 'poetic justice', as Sutherland puts it, of (SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT) the "all powerful" NightWings bowing to the "useless" RainWings. That just goes to show that just cause you're a bit lazy and un-involved in certain things does not mean that you are weak. My favorite part is probably when the RainWings invade. Like, DUDE, that was awesome. I really admire Tui T. Sutherland for creating such an amazing series. It is well written, fun to read, and overall just awesome. This isn't my favorite of the series, yeah, but I still highly recommend it, especially if you want to continue the Wings of Fire series. Believe me, it only gets better from here! By B.K.
This book is a great book. Starflight is taken to the secret home of the NightWings. There are prophecy dragonets that are not hatched on the brightest night. Starflight must choose between his tribe or his friends. Starflight has a secret crush on Sunny. Starflight is one of my favorite dragons in the series. He is funny but also smart. So what first got me into Wings of Fire was when I was looking for a book about dragons. Not just any dragon, but one that wasn't about slaying dragons, or taming dragons. I wanted one with a dragon as the main character, and a dragon as the sidekick. So that is how I found out about this series. I hope you enjoy this book and make suru to check out Wings of Fire book 8

Our daughters love these books, including this one. They say the writing flows very well, easy to read, great adventures and they breezed right through the series. They can't put these books down! Highly recommended. (Our daughters started reading these when they were eight; one is now nine and the other ten. They have read all of the series including the Warriors series, Wings of Fire series, Seekers series, and Survivors series). They did not like the Survivors series at all. Our daughters did not like the Survivors series because they felt that all the characters were too similar to each-other and the plot appeared to be unorganized and missed it's meaning completely, (vague, confusing plot). In addition, my daughters state that the characters in Survivors appeared to be whinny and undesirable (difficult to connect with).
I've been looking for a book about dragons. Not dragon riders, dragon slayers, or a girl who get's sent to a dragon's lair by her Aunt. I wanted a book about dragons. However, when I found this series, I didn't expect it to be any good. I was proved wrong.This book is in the point of view of Starflight the NightWing. In a world where the dragon tribes are at war, a prophecy has been delivered. Five dragonets will come and stop the war. A SeaWing, a SandWing, a MudWing, a NightWing, and a SkyWing. They were to hatch on the brightest night, and, in their eighth year, stop the war.Starflight has been taken by the NightWings. Again. And Morrowseer is not happy with him. At all. It doesn't help that his friends don't know he was taken, and think that he left on his own.Also, Starflight is not the fighter of the bunch. He's the bookworm. The nervous one, the one who has a huge crush on Sunny and has no idea how to tell her. He is also now my favorite of the group.This book is the best one in the series so far. It's full of twists and turns, including an alternet group of prophecy dragonets (who were not hatched on the brightest night), a young NightWing, Fatespeaker, who has a huge crush on him (That Starflight doesn't notice), a father, Mastermind, who happens to be the one leading the 'research' on the RainWings, which involve handcuffing them to walls and binding their mouths shut so that they can't spit their poison, and a queen that no one ever sees. Starflight also finds a dreamvistor, which is an animus-touched object that allows a dragon to enter another dragon's dream. (Turns out, Clay does dream about food. Like, lots and lots of food)Again, like the last one, I have no problems with this books. Starflight is a cute and nervous narrator, and it's interesting knowing his thoughts. It was also left on a bit of a cliffhanger, so it leaves you eagerly waiting for the next one.
