I loved the mudwings section! Actually found the others pretty boring. Silkwings was kind of cool, and I liked Jambus rainwing color guide. Oh, and the aquatic language section was cool. But really everything else was kind of boring. OH, AND THE SKYWING ANTHEM! I haven’t had a chance to sing it, but I played it and its pretty cool. Edit: just watched the part where you talk about these lmao 😂
I mean we thought of did already kind of know that because the scales for money system was included in the Lost Continent but it is cool to go into more depth and it's cool to know that each have had a specialty we didn't really know that before so that's pretty interesting
For me, yes. I have been DYING for an interior look at the Hive and just to find out more about hivewings in general, and this book gave that and much more.
On the subject of the hives. I wonder if Admiral is still there in the flamesilk caves being just the most insufferable fanboy now that Wasp is there with him. He can share all his inane ideas with her directly.
I wish they delved deeper into the advancement of the hive wings. They have stoves but don’t have steam engines? Do they have centralized heating Or aqueducts? They seem to be industrializing somewhat but how?
my biggest thing was them not even mentioning the icewings Great Ice Dragon god or whatever nor the skywings burial ceremony thing i was drooling for those n was so disappointed 😭
I know right although we did get the skywing wedding thing which actually is kind of awesome But I am seriously dying to know where the heck is skywings keep getting the silk for their funerals! It's not like they are getting it from silkwings
@@lahlybird895 They get silk like how we get it. Through silkworms, which raises the question of whether silkworm silk is different from Silkwing silk.
I really enjoyed and loved the book! I wouldnt necessarily say it was a total "guide"... i consider it to be more like a collection of tribe stories. And there was some things I would have loved to see more of. But I still enjoyed reading about the tribes and learned some new things! I loved all the extra art joy ang included too!! All in all its a 10 for me! Tui did a great job on it!
I agree it's not really a Guide, you can tell it was written for The FanWings & The FanWings alone Imagine being a Dragon in universe that knows NOTHING about SeaWings, reads this book to learn more about them & a few pages on Aquatic, some letters written by & for Dragons you don't know & FIVE PAGES of Coral kissing her own ass
Pfffff I know right? The coral pages got me 🤣@@avacornthelastponybender8583 I do agree though, I really wanted the guide to go into more detail about the tribes, such as everyday life inside the tribes, the jobs of dragons in each tribes, and so forth. They did a small bit of that in the hivewing section, but yeah.. I was hoping to see more! All in all though, I did enjoy the books tons :D
Starflight would definitely not accept this as his own final product Looking at it as a collection of tribe stories does make me feel a little better about all the massive information that I think is missing like rainwing culture sandwing everything and whatever the heck is happening over on Pantala
Yeah I agree, I would have LOVED to have seen more of each of the tribe's cultures and traditions. I would have loved to learn more about sandwing moon festivals and skywing burial traditions! I still definitely liked the book though :) @@lahlybird895
@@ChickenScratch-Feathers oh I definitely enjoyed it just because I'm mad about what's missing doesn't mean the stuff that is here isn't great I love learning about skywing weddings and the fact that mudwings have their different roles within their group and name themselves kind of like in survivors or warrior cats and all that that is pretty fun
I was anticipating a video like this, since I can't get my hands on the guide yet. I haven't heard or seen many reviews of this, but I struggled to find criticisms. I'm confident there's some vital problems with this I'm very interested in hearing. Of course, if they're that minimal, then even better. But knowing the recent track record with Wings of Fire, I'm not sure.
Without going into spoilers I agree with charcoal that the biggest problems I have are what's missing rather than what's included. Like I think my personal biggest problem is a matter of perspective but I personally was not a fan of the sandwing chapter because I believe it was missing a lot of potential that could have been explored and the one thing it did have felt kind of irrelevant to the idea of sand wings as a tribe. But I might just be being kind of bitter because they are my favorite tribe and I would have loved to get more information about them and things like their music festivals and what not. I mean for 20 years the world was kind of split into three separate fan kingdoms I would have loved to know how the difference is worked between each of them plus the scorpion den.
@@lk_3099 exactly what I was thinking especially considering the in-universe explanation for this is that this is a scroll that is being made by starflight. And I think he would definitely want to explore the same lower angles that I do so the fact that he would allow this is kind of baffling
Yeah,...about that time skip, In the SeaWing chapter, Turtle's letter says that he missed Starflight's deadline 'cause he thought that he would get a break from homework since he "Recently swam to the other side of the world", whitch means the guide can't have taken place too long after Arc 3 I guess Strongwings coundn't keep it in his scales😅
I honestly loved the SkyWing section so much even though Im not entirely a massive fan of SkyWings and I really loved the story with who married Ex Queen Scarlet
It's time to look inward & ask ourselves the big questions,... Like, if there are both Dragons & Krakens in this universe, couldn't other Mythical creatures exist in it too?
Do not get me started on what a huge Revelation the fact that a kraken just randomly shows up here is! The universe is shaking and nobody is talking about it!
I wondered about this, in Dragonslayer they mentioned trolls, and I started to wonder about what it would be like if trolls are canon and were big enough to fight dragons, like, wouldn’t it be cool to see a giant humanoid monster fighting a Nightwing or something? I would love it a LOT
Would it be controversial to say that I wanted to see more about scavengers / the Scorching? We were promised the story of that event from the dragon's perspective, leaving me to think that, oh, it'll be like the Cottonmouth flashback thing but... y'know... from the dragon's perspective, and we'd perhaps find out more about the first queen and perhaps more about Lizard/Freedom. But instead all we got was a retelling of the fragmented information we'd already been given about the Scorching from arcs 1 and 2. Just, disappointing in my opinion. As for arc 4. I've mentioned on other people's videos what I hope to see, that we see Hailstorm again but a version of the character that has embraced Pyrite as a part of who they are and living their best life in the Sky Kingdom under that name.
My favourite part of the Guide is perhaps the Fierceteeth letters. Really gets me thinking she will try to get herself recognised as the new Queen of an independent Nightwing tribe.. It feels like a natural development for her character from arcs 1 and 2, presenting it in a way that is sympathetic towards her and far more than just "I don't like Glory".
@@MahsaKaerraSame, that was my favourite part too. The rest is fine, but Fierceteeth always caught my attention for some reason so I especially liked reading those pages
I believe the wrong info in the Pantala section might be a result of the book being written before the series was finished. If they waited until it was done to start writing the guide, the wait would have been _much_ longer. And I also heard somewhere that Tui "wanted to wait until the Pantalan tribes had been introduced" to start working on the book, but they never said anything about waiting until the series was finished. I was also pretty annoyed when I was reading that section, but I think I understand why it's like that.
All that might explain why it's partly up-to-date and then partly not like Willow is taken care of bumblebee which indicates that this is in the future since Willow didn't have much access to bumblebee before but then the queen sections of charcoal noted are pretty out of date so I don't know what to think I think even if she written part of it beforehand she could have revised and edited a bit, but maybe that would have made it even more messy although you'd think she'd know what she was planning on taking the series at the very least with who the have Wing Queen was going to be by the end of it.
I can't wait to get my hands on the guide book! I might wait since I MIGHT be going into surgery next month. If I do I want something to read as I recover.
What I'd like to see is an arc set in the far future, during a time when the cast of the first three arcs have faded into legends. A bit of a soft reset for the series, in a changed world with humans and dragons living together
Can't say A Guide to the Dragon World was worth the $35.00 CAN I paid for it; though Queen Glacier making time in her hectic schedule to snuggle with her youngest daughter, Princess Mink, was touching to hear. The highlights of the book are the dragon tribal queen portraits; Queen Thorn's is the best - I've never seen two dragons look happier in one another's company than Thorn and Smolder do. The announcement of a fourth Wings of Fire arc is exciting, not gonna lie, but also concerning; given how messy and unnecessary the third arc was, it's hard not to look at a fourth without worry.
It's just usual scavenger dislike in the series. Many fans don't like that humans are getting more focus in the latest books, and loathe how much more involved they'll be going forwards (Dragonslayer is usually the least favorite book in the series for this reason). For many, Wings of Fire was an escape from human plagued dragon series, where dragons got to be the protagonists. And now there's a fear that said escape is fizzling out. While I don't personally HATE them, I wish they stayed in the background and didn't become major characters. I too was searching for a dragon series where humans held minimal roles at most and dragons were the heroes of their own stories.
I'm also hoping arc 4 is amazing, there's still this fear that it'll be just as unfocused as arc 3 (I'll still like it, since outside Winglet Prisoner and Dragonslayer, I can enjoy all books). But I want Tui to try harder to make arc 4 at least as good as arc 1, if not better than arc 1 and 2 combined. And yeah, it's worrysome that Wings of Fire will be milked to death with neverending books. I'd say at that point, if Tui still wants to write about dragons, she should just make a brand new series with new characters, new stories and new worldbuilding concepts and magic system. That way she can use that freedom from the rules et in Wings of Fire while also getting the chance to write many things she couldn't fit into WoF. I wouldn't mind if she tried for an older audience with a new dragon series (and hopefully humans can finally be absent).
@@fallenflame1940 She did. She's currently busy with a sci-fi book unrelated to Wings of Fire, but she said she'd go back to arc 4 afterwards. She has nothing planned for it outside a few ideas, like focusing on the next generation (Cliff, Auklet, Bumblebee, Peacemaker), as well as giving Umber some spotlight.
Yeah. This is most likely set at least a year after the events of Arc 3 because if Fierceteeth is about to lay her eggs, we learned from Book 2 that it takes about a year for eggs to fully develop inside the mother before being laid and then takes another year until they hatch. So unless Strongwings and Fierceteeth did you know what on the Nightwing island, then this should take place a year after Book 15. But that also would mean that all of the dragonets of destiny are close to becoming fully grown adults.
I had no idea this came out, I didn’t even really know that it was a thing. I guess I really haven’t been keeping up with the fandom! I’m going to get the book as soon as I can, it looks cool!
Does anybody know where exactly I can go to find release dates for these new books? They don’t exactly seem to be out there like movie and tv trailers and I’m still new to this fandom
It also hinted at possible poison immunity for the Leafwings, since they say they aren’t sure about whether the foods that Leafwings eat are able to be eaten by other dragons, this would actually make sense since they live in something that is literally called the Poison Jungle, which has to have some sort of poisonous plant(s) in it, and poison immunity could also allow them to be immune to other poisons and venoms from other tribes, which would make them even more powerful than they are when surrounded by plants and with a strong Leafspeak, although then again this isn’t exactly confirmed and is only a speculation made by a very specific piece of writing, I could and probably am going crazy and if that is the case then oh well
Great video! But about Books 10 and 11, I'm pretty sure they happen several months apart not at the same time. In book 14 it says that Snowfall has been queen for a few months already.
ANOTHER ARK? as soon as I heard there will be I became happy. That's good news, I wonder who the villian will be. She has an idea for s spider tribe so maybe a villisn who's a spiderwing? Websing? Daddylonglegswing? Idk. But thats good news
My main complaint was Glory being sarcastic and informal during formal letters. It would have hit much better if her tone actually changed to be more formal and well spoken in letters she thought would represent her and her tribe and let the sarcasm come in through the personal correspondence that she wouldnt expect to get published.
The things i want to happen in arc 4: sky and peril meet each other, the new generation of students/main characters, a new big bad, no human students (i could care less about them), pantalan students, the inclusion of blood moons, maybe add in an abilities class for nightwings and hivewings a few new teachers like 1 from every tribe and maybe some day our favorite characters dragonets added to and umber and sora reunite with clay, possible fire immunity added to fire resistant scale mudwings and firescale skywing hybrids maybe add a few royals and maybe a new prophecy maybe sky gets to join jade mountain academy (just a random thought) hybrid dragonets get added to the school, possibly some classes on animus dragonet powers if it returned, and that's about it for my ideas
I had very similar thoughts of ultimately enjoying it yet being disappointed by a few things Especially the sandwing chapter being my favorite tribe I was kind of mad that it was Jeff Mulder's diary and a not even complete list of everything in Burns Tower like cool but also that doesn't really have anything to do with the sand wings themselves it barely includes any sandwich history it doesn't give us anything about the culture of any fan doing outside of burn and smolder right after the death of his mother so we don't get any idea for what life as a fan Wing is actually like. Is this chapter in particular could have been really cool as we could have gotten some squirrels about sanding history we could have learned about how the eye of onyx was first used and we could have had competing cultural stories from dragons on each side of the war and how they lived while serving blister or burn. Not to mention the scorpion den and the outclaws. And we could have learned more about what Thorn was actually doing as Queen the fact that thorn doesn't say a thing and doesn't write a letter to starfly kind of concerned me like where is she we got a letter from funny and Thorn is Thorn herself? And then qivli don't have anything to say either and if only mentioned once you'd think he'd love this kind of thing. Similarly I got really annoyed every time it mentioned that something was included but being cut off like the list of rainwing colors that glorious specifically said she didn't catch all of and despite all the things she recorded every single thing her brother said to her about it, or the interview with Mastermind where Glory asked like maybe two questions.. and again several of the tribes give us cultural bits of information like the mudwing and skywing chapters but others completely skip out on all of that like the rain wings which somehow don't mention something as simple as fun time I could imagine Glory saying something about how it's not a sign of laziness and explaining why rain wings do it to other dragons to try to persuade that particular myth since she suffered from it and she didn't even have the sun. Isn't of course there's all the Pantala chapters which fleshed out a few things about living in the hives before but like you mentioned completely doesn't mention anything that's actually up-to-date why is wasp still the queen it's driving me a little crazy. This section of the book also had massive potential that it didn't explorer for instance a cultural comparison between poison and fat wings would have been interesting especially because it could have been written by sundew and Willow side by side and we could have seen more of them interacting in notes. Not to mention this would have been the perfect way to tell if a little more about how the settlement is going with the leaf silk Kingdom and what the culture is like over there now post the flaming disaster thing... Just like you though I'm mostly angry about what we didn't get and everything we did get is really freaking cool with the possible exception of smolders diary which I agree definitely could have been its own book. The way I described it was I'm unhappy but I'm pleased.
3:53 “This page can go die. PAINFULLY.” Yeah, no kidding. Also, I like this book so far! I like the little bits of lore we’ve gotten from it. I just wish they didn’t have all of that adorkable filler in some of the parts.
4:15 probably because this was supposed to release before book 15 and Tui did not wanna spoil anything in cannon probably because these documents are sent over and did not have a thorough inspection to see whats up to date
All i wish was that with someone the tribes we got more smaller things like,, the skywings getting an anthem is really fun!! I rlky just wanna know tribe traditions , cultures , holidays the like . Again i loved the book as is but i want more lttle things the make the tribes feel more alive
i still dont have the book, but my husband ordert it just now for me as a xmas gift. i cant wait to read it. also to hear that it gives a 4th arc. i just dreamt about it a few days ago that in wings of fire they dircovered a 3th island and there live other kinds of dragons. when i woke up, i just hoped it would be real. i also hope that the TV series would come out, but i am not so sure about that. i have a hard time to find information about all this. and it got harder since i moved From USA back in my country in switzerland. if anyone know ehre you get your news, let me know, pleace
The guide felt underwhelming to me. There were good parts, like the new stories and letters, but half the book felt like it was composed of lore we already got in the series. I wish the guide was longer and each tribe got more information.
@@CharcoalsDenfor the kraken I saw it being theorized based on one of the maps, but I thought it was the equivalent to the medieval "dragons are here" to mean "danger, don't go"
Don't get me started she did this so many of the character names I was using ended up in this book I'm so mad about every single caribou Plus my dragon named Jasper that I've had for years I now have to rewrite right although I am glad she finally use the name Jasper as I was wondering why she hadn't used it yet but now I have to rename the dragon to be porcelain and I already had to rename his sister opal to be Amber and now they both have completely different names and feel like completely different dragons and ugh! And then there's moccasin which I always had as a fancy hybrid and now it's a male mudwing so I had to rename my dragon who was built around the name moccasin and now his name is diamond back because I couldn't decide between crate and Taipan. The diamondback isn't nearly as cool as a name for this particular dragon and doesn't lean into his feet Wing heritage at all. Luckily with most of the other ones I got off by just doing something simple changing Copperhead to copper and warthog to just hog worked out fairly well
I hate the idea of characters like Auklet or Bumblebee being protagonists. I’m fine with them being major characters but as main characters sounds too annoying
You never know, a few years will likely make them more interesting and likeable. I think they're too young to go through extremely dangerous adventures, so a time skip feels like a given.
@@juststrahyk5377 I agree. Not because they're annoying but because it just feels way too safe and predictable. I'm hoping Tui does something different and unexpected, even if it makes the story unfocused. Give us a whole new tribe, or another continent even! Books set in the past or the far future, other mythical creatures. Just anything that isn't so safe and predictable as "fan favourite dragonets are or get into misadventures and escapades."
I have the book I like it but I was disappointed over silkwings chapter I’m trying to make a silkwings character and have no clue of there culture and stuff like the other wings. And I hope wings of fire will grow just like Erin hunters books
Realized I had a scheduling conflict, so the premiere has been pushed back to 5pm like the past few videos!

That way she can use that freedom from the rules et in Wings of Fire while also getting the chance to write many things she couldn't fit into WoF.
I wouldn't mind if she tried for an older audience with a new dragon series (and hopefully humans can finally be absent).
Wait is there actually going to be an arc 4? Did Tui confirm it?😮
@@fallenflame1940 She did.
She's currently busy with a sci-fi book unrelated to Wings of Fire, but she said she'd go back to arc 4 afterwards.
She has nothing planned for it outside a few ideas, like focusing on the next generation (Cliff, Auklet, Bumblebee, Peacemaker), as well as giving Umber some spotlight.
I do have gripes with this book. Like they didn't tell us exactly how mudwings got their names.
Yeah. This is most likely set at least a year after the events of Arc 3 because if Fierceteeth is about to lay her eggs, we learned from Book 2 that it takes about a year for eggs to fully develop inside the mother before being laid and then takes another year until they hatch. So unless Strongwings and Fierceteeth did you know what on the Nightwing island, then this should take place a year after Book 15. But that also would mean that all of the dragonets of destiny are close to becoming fully grown adults.
.
They were fully grown adults by arc 2...
This is random but I always need to comment how much I love that you use Monster Hunter music
I had no idea this came out, I didn’t even really know that it was a thing. I guess I really haven’t been keeping up with the fandom! I’m going to get the book as soon as I can, it looks cool!
yes yes and yes i love this book so much i read it over 5 times
Absolutely YES
Does anybody know where exactly I can go to find release dates for these new books? They don’t exactly seem to be out there like movie and tv trailers and I’m still new to this fandom
It also hinted at possible poison immunity for the Leafwings, since they say they aren’t sure about whether the foods that Leafwings eat are able to be eaten by other dragons, this would actually make sense since they live in something that is literally called the Poison Jungle, which has to have some sort of poisonous plant(s) in it, and poison immunity could also allow them to be immune to other poisons and venoms from other tribes, which would make them even more powerful than they are when surrounded by plants and with a strong Leafspeak, although then again this isn’t exactly confirmed and is only a speculation made by a very specific piece of writing, I could and probably am going crazy and if that is the case then oh well
I made the honey drops!!!!
Oooo what did they taste like?
@@sudesh.khatrihoney probably
@@L-ghtlessSky yeah you’re prob right
Great video!
But about Books 10 and 11, I'm pretty sure they happen several months apart not at the same time. In book 14 it says that Snowfall has been queen for a few months already.
Yes
ANOTHER ARK? as soon as I heard there will be I became happy. That's good news, I wonder who the villian will be. She has an idea for s spider tribe so maybe a villisn who's a spiderwing? Websing? Daddylonglegswing? Idk. But thats good news
My main complaint was Glory being sarcastic and informal during formal letters. It would have hit much better if her tone actually changed to be more formal and well spoken in letters she thought would represent her and her tribe and let the sarcasm come in through the personal correspondence that she wouldnt expect to get published.
The things i want to happen in arc 4: sky and peril meet each other, the new generation of students/main characters, a new big bad, no human students (i could care less about them), pantalan students, the inclusion of blood moons, maybe add in an abilities class for nightwings and hivewings a few new teachers like 1 from every tribe and maybe some day our favorite characters dragonets added to and umber and sora reunite with clay, possible fire immunity added to fire resistant scale mudwings and firescale skywing hybrids maybe add a few royals and maybe a new prophecy maybe sky gets to join jade mountain academy (just a random thought) hybrid dragonets get added to the school, possibly some classes on animus dragonet powers if it returned, and that's about it for my ideas
I had very similar thoughts of ultimately enjoying it yet being disappointed by a few things
Especially the sandwing chapter being my favorite tribe I was kind of mad that it was Jeff Mulder's diary and a not even complete list of everything in Burns Tower like cool but also that doesn't really have anything to do with the sand wings themselves it barely includes any sandwich history it doesn't give us anything about the culture of any fan doing outside of burn and smolder right after the death of his mother so we don't get any idea for what life as a fan Wing is actually like.
Is this chapter in particular could have been really cool as we could have gotten some squirrels about sanding history we could have learned about how the eye of onyx was first used and we could have had competing cultural stories from dragons on each side of the war and how they lived while serving blister or burn. Not to mention the scorpion den and the outclaws. And we could have learned more about what Thorn was actually doing as Queen the fact that thorn doesn't say a thing and doesn't write a letter to starfly kind of concerned me like where is she we got a letter from funny and Thorn is Thorn herself? And then qivli don't have anything to say either and if only mentioned once you'd think he'd love this kind of thing.
Similarly I got really annoyed every time it mentioned that something was included but being cut off like the list of rainwing colors that glorious specifically said she didn't catch all of and despite all the things she recorded every single thing her brother said to her about it, or the interview with Mastermind where Glory asked like maybe two questions.. and again several of the tribes give us cultural bits of information like the mudwing and skywing chapters but others completely skip out on all of that like the rain wings which somehow don't mention something as simple as fun time I could imagine Glory saying something about how it's not a sign of laziness and explaining why rain wings do it to other dragons to try to persuade that particular myth since she suffered from it and she didn't even have the sun.
Isn't of course there's all the Pantala chapters which fleshed out a few things about living in the hives before but like you mentioned completely doesn't mention anything that's actually up-to-date why is wasp still the queen it's driving me a little crazy.
This section of the book also had massive potential that it didn't explorer for instance a cultural comparison between poison and fat wings would have been interesting especially because it could have been written by sundew and Willow side by side and we could have seen more of them interacting in notes. Not to mention this would have been the perfect way to tell if a little more about how the settlement is going with the leaf silk Kingdom and what the culture is like over there now post the flaming disaster thing...
Just like you though I'm mostly angry about what we didn't get and everything we did get is really freaking cool with the possible exception of smolders diary which I agree definitely could have been its own book.
The way I described it was I'm unhappy but I'm pleased.
3:53 “This page can go die. PAINFULLY.”
Yeah, no kidding.
Also, I like this book so far! I like the little bits of lore we’ve gotten from it. I just wish they didn’t have all of that adorkable filler in some of the parts.
Someone please tell the one blind person in the audience which page he's yelling at
4:15 probably because this was supposed to release before book 15 and Tui did not wanna spoil anything in cannon probably because these documents are sent over and did not have a thorough inspection to see whats up to date
I can already tell you: good book, high deception
I actually got the book a bit early at the end of september which I was really happy about because it was just at kmart
All i wish was that with someone the tribes we got more smaller things like,, the skywings getting an anthem is really fun!! I rlky just wanna know tribe traditions , cultures , holidays the like . Again i loved the book as is but i want more lttle things the make the tribes feel more alive
i still dont have the book, but my husband ordert it just now for me as a xmas gift. i cant wait to read it. also to hear that it gives a 4th arc. i just dreamt about it a few days ago that in wings of fire they dircovered a 3th island and there live other kinds of dragons. when i woke up, i just hoped it would be real. i also hope that the TV series would come out, but i am not so sure about that. i have a hard time to find information about all this. and it got harder since i moved From USA back in my country in switzerland. if anyone know ehre you get your news, let me know, pleace
im getting it on christmas
Nice!
I'm still waiting on my copy that I pre ordered at the beginning of the year
I respect this Charcoal, but why did you say the 'stop eating scavengers' can die? I may just be missing something.
I forgot you existed (I found a video of yours in a playlist of 1200 videos-)
The guide felt underwhelming to me. There were good parts, like the new stories and letters, but half the book felt like it was composed of lore we already got in the series. I wish the guide was longer and each tribe got more information.
2:38
Bro, please don’t make me explain how egg making works. I don’t think they “planned” on there being eggs…
What’s the problem with the page about not eating humans?
Wait, what page does the book talk about krakens?
An entry in the Book of Clearsight mentions one
@@CharcoalsDenfor the kraken I saw it being theorized based on one of the maps, but I thought it was the equivalent to the medieval "dragons are here" to mean "danger, don't go"
@@cookie856nope it just shows up it's real and there's nothing we can do about it
@@lahlybird895 I talked about before the guide went out
@@cookie856 ah

Me, a "The Menagerie" fan
unless they finished, I couldnt get the last audio book
dang it, ruined the meme
I just need 1 thing:for peril and sky to meet that's it anyone else?
I’m so sad that python is already a wof dragon my oc is named python let name viper the sand name viper is now cactus
Don't get me started she did this so many of the character names I was using ended up in this book I'm so mad about every single caribou
Plus my dragon named Jasper that I've had for years I now have to rewrite right although I am glad she finally use the name Jasper as I was wondering why she hadn't used it yet but now I have to rename the dragon to be porcelain and I already had to rename his sister opal to be Amber and now they both have completely different names and feel like completely different dragons and ugh!
And then there's moccasin which I always had as a fancy hybrid and now it's a male mudwing so I had to rename my dragon who was built around the name moccasin and now his name is diamond back because I couldn't decide between crate and Taipan. The diamondback isn't nearly as cool as a name for this particular dragon and doesn't lean into his feet Wing heritage at all.
Luckily with most of the other ones I got off by just doing something simple changing Copperhead to copper and warthog to just hog worked out fairly well
I just got it today, not sure why it took me this long but it was 20$
I hate the idea of characters like Auklet or Bumblebee being protagonists. I’m fine with them being major characters but as main characters sounds too annoying
You never know, a few years will likely make them more interesting and likeable.
I think they're too young to go through extremely dangerous adventures, so a time skip feels like a given.
@lk_3099 Time skip or not I do not want them as Protagonists
@@juststrahyk5377 aren’t they like really young? no way they’re going to act the same after a time skip.
@@Cheese23145 So? This plot is too basic and annoying for me to like
@@juststrahyk5377 I agree. Not because they're annoying but because it just feels way too safe and predictable. I'm hoping Tui does something different and unexpected, even if it makes the story unfocused. Give us a whole new tribe, or another continent even! Books set in the past or the far future, other mythical creatures. Just anything that isn't so safe and predictable as "fan favourite dragonets are or get into misadventures and escapades."
Release The kraken
I have the book I like it but I was disappointed over silkwings chapter I’m trying to make a silkwings character and have no clue of there culture and stuff like the other wings.
And I hope wings of fire will grow just like Erin hunters books
