This was a good continuation of the Wings of Fire series. The book was easy to read and progresses into the next part of the Darkstalker story arc. There was a stand alone Darkstalker book released that explains Darkstalker’s history and it would be helpful to read that book before reading this
This continues the storyline with Darkstalker's awakening and really focuses on animus dragons. The story is told from Turtle’s perspective; he is a SeaWing dragon that is an animus in secret. He alone seems to be immune to Darkstalker’s charm and it is up to him to discern what Darkstalker is really up to.
There isn't a lot resolved in this story, it is basically just the start of another broad storyline involving Darkstalker and his efforts to rebuild the Nightwing Clan and gain the trust of the other Dragon Clans. We learn some more about Turtle’s history and past, but honestly not a ton happens in here. Mostly this book seems to be setting up the story for more excitement in future books. There is a sense of doom over the whole story as you are just waiting for things to go really wrong in the next book.
Overall this was a good continuation of this series. I liked learning more about animus dragons and it was interesting to see things from Turtle's perspective. However I felt like this was a very short book and not a lot actually happened in here. I am curious to see what this book builds to as the series continues. Recommended to fans of the Wings of Fire series.

Turtle would rather stay in school than run off to have an adventure. He would rather pretend to be powerless than let anyone find out he is an animus dragon and develop expectations of him.

only one who is immune to his magic. He is the only who can see what Darkstalker is doing. Therefore, Turtle, the dragon who hates adventures and responsibilities, is the only one who can stop Darkstalker from taking over the world. Show Less

Written for children but I love this series in my 60s. I have read over 10 at this writing. I intend to read all 20 or so.I enjoy the dragon's perspective. Very relaxing during this pandemic (2021).

A-
The whole series is super cute! I like how each dragon is a different person and has a unique voice. This means, however, that you don't actually like all of them.
