I've read the book and I used to absolutely love the series. But what I notice now really upsets me, this book is okay over all because the book series was really good up until the third arc(I'm not implying that it's bad) what I've noticed is that tui turned the entirety of this arc into a one big relationship that has to be "romantic". What I've also noticed that there is LGBTQ things that don't even belong inside a book for children. I love the book series but the the way it took a hard turn down that road to confuse little kids to question their identity is just not ok. The part where LGBT exists needs to disappear for the next arc. In light of this, jambu... a major side character(ish) was trying to get into a relationship with glory in the 3rd book. But what ended up happening that the next time you see him he's claiming he's g*y and that he's never been happier. I mean, come on, that ruined his entire role in my opinion. But other then that... I love the book series. Please fix.

I loved the Wings of Fire series, but after a while I noticed that Tui was getting very modern. LBGT+ characters kept popping up, and that was a complete let down for me, as a Christian teen. But other than those few mistakes, I fell in love with the series, and Miss Sutherland inspired me to write my own books. Thank you for the experience, Ms Sutherland, but those mistakes in your choices will one day cost you eternity.

It was a decent book, but it had some issues. First, something about this book was lacking compared to the previous twelve books, and I believe it was that the protagonist was supposed to be in a relationship without the relationship being built up story wise. Romantic comments would be made, but it was awkward to read because Tui T. never built up the relationship overtime in the book. I've been reading this book series since 2013 and would five star all the others. Second, I don't like that homosexuality has been all of a sudden introduced, especially since that this book series is supposed to also include younger ages (9+). It feels like political propaganda. I don't like it. It's new and random to the series. Lastly & on a good note, the book leaves a bunch of questions for the reader at the end of the book, which made me never want to stop thinking about it. Tui T. did a good job ending the book. Overall, it's a good book, but it has its flaws.
