Ratings and reviews

Ok, lowkey thought Willow was a dude at first. Second off, what happened in this series? I was maybe nine when I read this book and had a hard time understanding the relationship between Sundew and Willow. Once again, I thought Willow was a dude when I figured out Willow was female it through me through a loop, and I questioned whether it was truly right or not, don't get me wrong they're a good couple but is it right for some who won't understand it.

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.

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.
