This is the 10th book in the Wings of Fire series. This was a really excellent continuation of the series. This book ties up the story arc dealing with Darkstalker and starts up a new one. Sutherland has said that there are going to be another 5 books in this series (bringing it to a total of 15
This book centers around Qibli; the dragon who had a rough childhood and desperately wants animus magic. With most of the dragons enchanted to follow Darkstalker, Qibli is one of the few who can stop Darkstalker. Qibli uses his wits and intelligence (along with some magic objects from Turtle) to break Darkstalker’s enchantment on the other dragons and stop Darkstalker from taking over the world.
We learn a lot about Qibli’s past and there is a lot about his birth family as well. As with previous books there is a lot in here about using power responsibly and about the importance of friendship. Additionally Qibli realizes that even though his birth family is pretty horrible, he can create himself a new family out of the friends and dragons who support and love him.
I always think the topics and events covered in this series are a bit advanced for middle grade readers. However my son (who is 10 now) has been reading these books since he was seven or so and really loves them. These books are fun, interesting, and engaging. They also provide some food for thought.
Overall this was a fantastic continuation of the Wings of Fire series. I really loved how the Darkstalker storyline was wrapped up. These books are always easy to read, engaging, and well written. I would definitely recommend to middle grade and older readers who love dragons, adventure, war, and magic.

This series was good, but the ending was a little disappointing. Bypassing the animus soul curse made Darkstalker way too powerful, which made the plot struggle, especially in how they can satisfactorily get rid of him. Thus erasing his memory and changing who he was seemed hypocritical and

antithetical to the moral, which was a bummer. I was ok with the Moon,Winter, Qibli love triangle, and glad Moon chose Qibli. Winter was a sympathetic character, and I liked his book, but he was still frequently a jerk, and that isn't something Moon should have to put up with. I did appreciate how well Darkstalker's "fall to darkness" was handled. That is a story line that isn't always easy to pull off believably. Show Less
