Conditional Recommendation: The dragon war is escalating and Starflight the NightWing must gather his courage to save both his friends and his tribe.

Genre: Fantasy

The plot is building! After the plodding set up in the beginning, the story takes off. Starflight, the NightWing, discovers the culture and truth of his mysterious tribe. Things are not actually what the NightWings want everyone to believe. The conflicts in this book are great—between the cultures of the different tribes of dragons and within Starflight to betray his friends or his tribe. The stakes are getting higher and the dragon war is escalating. It’s apparent we’re heading into the final book after this one!

There’s a twinkling of romance that appears in this book because we learn that Starflight loves Sunny and wants to have a relationship with this lifelong friend.

The Hidden Kingdom (#3)

The mysterious NightWings keep everything hidden, from their home and their queen to their allegiance in the war. Now they’ve kidnapped their own dragonet of destiny, and Starflight is finally meeting the rest of his tribe—whether he wants to or not. The NightWings have also kidnapped several innocent RainWings, now trapped in the dark, barren, miserable place that is the NightWing kingdom. Starflight wants to help the RainWings, but he’s busy saving his own scales and trying to find a way back to his friends. The fate of two kingdoms rests in his talons, and with no one to save him, Starflight will have to find a way to be brave . . . before it’s too late.

Some dragon violence.
