I liked Turtle’s perspective, and learning more about good backstory as a SeaWing prince was cool. My favorite part was when Anemone and Turtle fight in the Sea Kingdom, and the part that surprised me the most was when Turtle revealed that he was the one who gave Anemone her powers. I also wonder what happened to Foeslayer, and what she will do with Darkstalker, and who the SandWing animus is. Overall, I enjoyed this book.
Yet another thrilling instalment of the Wings of Fire series. There were plenty of plot reveals and exciting twists to keep my daughter and I glued to the ongoing story. We really enjoyed getting to know Turtle and his secrets, plus seeing him step-up as the hero towards the end, as we knew he would. We debated a lot over Darkstalker's motives and intentions, too. We are now, as ever, super-excited to read the next book which is about one of our favourite characters: Quibli.
