Reading Level: Mid-Late Elementary

I was reluctant to read it, but my 8-year-old was excited about Wings of Fire, so I took the plunge. I was so impressed! Strong characters, teamwork, optimism, loyalty, and hope for war to end all work to make this a lovely opening to a saga.

Possible concerns:

  • Prophecy. There is a prophecy that a small band of young dragons will end the war.
  • Future seeing. One type of dragon is known to be able to look into the future and have other psychic powers.
  • Violence. Dragons eat/fight/kill/imprison each other, humans, and beasts.
  • Dysfunctional family. Some dragons abandon their young, sell them, etc.
  • Oppressive rulers. Wars, treason, tyranny, etc.
  • Conservatives on the structure of the familiy may not like that later in the series some characters end up pursuing homosexual relationships. I noticed this mainly in Book 10.
