This book starts a new quintet in the Wings of Fire Series. The main characters are new, but the story builds on ideas, settings, themes, and characters from the previous books.
I have stronger concerns than with the first five books, namely:
Occult (Mind Reading, Future Telling, Communicating with dead dragons from 1000s of years ago). The main character becomes acquainted with an ancient dragon who should be dead but speaks into her mind and wants her to do things to awaken him. I found it affected my mood. I’d rather my kid turn away from the occult.
Prophecy/Faith. Issues of faith and hoax and whether destiny is determined. This book takes the stance that there are many possible futures, which I think may make Calvinists cringe. In contrast, the Bible says God “knows the plans He has for you.”
Other typical possible concerns from the series:
Violence. Dragons eat/fight/kill/imprison each other, humans, and beasts.
Oppressive rulers. Wars, treason, tyranny, etc.
Romance. “Does she like me?” type thoughts and swooning over a handsome dragon.
Conservatives on the structure of the family may not like that later in the series some characters end up pursuing homosexual relationships. I noticed this mainly in Book 10.
I quite liked the first quintet, but the next quintet is a bit too dark for me. See my reviews of other books in the series:
