"hallelujah, hallelujah, halle-hallelujah." (Sings that.)

Another WoF fan!

I myself have read them all (except the Winglet book(s). Now hopefully this topic won't die like mine did.

HECK YEAH. I think it's my favorite still ongoing book series.

You made a topic too? Ha, yeah, hopefully it won't die!
I'm so glad someone else likes these books. X'D

But yeah, I've read the first series so far! Can't wait to get the new books from the second series!

Yeah, made a topic like a year ago (boy does it seem much longer than that), but there weren't any posts. I should post the content here since I find it completely relevant.

You will adore Moon Rising and Winter Turning.

I'm kind of interested in the books...

Come on...both book series are good.

I've read the first two and I'm still on the third and I love it. Tsunami is my favorite I think.

I just finished the fifth book. I'd been looking for a good dragon-related series that didn't make the dragons wannabe-Smaugs (or yet another 'Dragon Rider' concept), so I was really happy when I found this.

I plan on getting and reading the sixth book once I finish reading all the other books I've got.

But, back on topic...

I honestly really like Sunny the most, though Tsunami is pretty close because I've always loved water dragons.

Clay is just precious, though. Glory's awesome, and Starflight's Adorkable.

I've read every book in the series so far, and I think Starlight is the best, with Tsunami in close second.

i've read all of them!

Loads gorier?

My favorite dragon tribe would definitely be the rainwings, for the reasons you just listed.

^ Haha, that is true, but the worst thing I can think of in Warriors is when

Reveal Spoiler

Scourge disembowels Tigerstar. (i don't know why i spoiler'd this because i'm sure everyone knows about this by now lol)

Other than that though, I don't think there were many other gory scenes? But still, I see your point. X3

Well, if we're all sharing our favourite characters then mine's probably Sunny, and then Glory close behind. But honestly, all the dragonets are precious and I love them all.
and i may have a slight obsession with Thorn but lets not talk about that X'D

What's everyone's favourite dragon tribe?
I'd have to go with the RainWings because who doesn't love their camouflage scales and their MAGICAL DEATH SPIT lol, and NightWings (though i'm unsure about the latter because of their history). It's really hard picking when each tribe is all so varied and awesome in their own way though.

And yeah, theuone, you should totally post the content from your old topic!
Maybe the topic didn't kick off back then because the series wasn't as popular a year ago??

True, WoF wasn't as well known back then, I'd say.

While I can't choose a favorite among the DoD, Thorn and Darkstalker are just marvelous.

As for my tribe ... maybe Rainwing or Seawing, although i love the element that is ice, so an Icewing could work as well.

As for what I posted in my previous topic, I'll have to get to that later; it's the content of a video that really blew my mind. ... Actually, before I post the link, I'll say this, go to youtube and look up a music video called Dragons Hold On, at around 0:53 ... doesn't it look familiar to you?

RainWings or SeaWings, with SkyWings as an honourable mention. Rainwings because they have some really awesome ablities, Seawings because again I really love water dragons, and SkyWings because well, I like how they look? ^.^;

Though I like all the tribes, really. Just, well, some a bit more than others.

I've never heard of this series but I'm really interested. The only dragon books I've heard of is Eragon, and I've only enjoyed the first book from that series. If it's a 'better written warriors' then I will more than likely enjoy it. I've given up on YA fiction but I still want some books to read.

Also Warriors is more gorier than you think.


Also apparently it's written by Tui Sutherland. She's one of the writers for Seekers, an Erin Hunter Book series. That's why it's similar to Warriors since I'm pretty sure Sutherland got taken on by the Erins because of her writing style being similar to theirs. I'm definitely checking this out now.

Gory enough for ya?

^Definitely gory enough for you.



Look at 0:53 why don't you guys and tell me who do you see?

Ok do I just borrowed Wings of Fire book 1 from the library and.... I don't think it's a better written Warriors. In fact the writing is much worse than Warriors, and is actually really childish (which sucks because it means i won't be able to take these so called gruesome deaths seriously). Unless the writing gets better later? :\

also i hate kestrel already

^Definitely gory enough for you.

warriors was quite mature with it's writing, and because of that i was able to take these death seriously.

i do think it gets better

how far have you gotten with book 1?

Not that far tbh. I just kind of noticed the writing style straight away.

Like for instance:

He tried to summon helpful violent rage, but all he could think was It'll be over soon, and then I could have dinner.
So, not the most heroic train of thought.

I dunno I just thought that was a bit awkward. Maybe I'm overreacting I dunno. I also don't like how the writing uses brackets. I've always found it weird when stories use brackets. Also so much upper case is used a lot. I've always thought upper case is weird in speech. Like, just use an exclamation mark (with '___ shouted' or something), readers know that the character is shouting, that's what the exclamation mark is for. I agree with upper case being used in certain situations, but not spammed.

^The thing that's unique about Wings of Fire is that each dragon has its own voice. The perspective changes each book. And yeah, Clay's voice is generally awkward because he doesn't think he's a hero. He doesn't really know if he's doing the right thing all the time; all he knows is that he wants to protect his friends. If you do pick up the others, you'll notice that Sutherland writes for many different personality types extremely well. Tsunami's commanding, bossy voice, Glory's serious and sarcastic tones, Starflight's timid but logical approaches...
As for the all-caps thing, technically it's correct, but it just depends on what the author chooses. I'm not always a fan of it, but it gets the point across, does it not?
I love both Wings of Fire and Warriors, and both are great in their own way. But honestly, the plot for WoF is unique and brilliant. For Warriors, they usually build new things and continue on for sequels. But for Wings of Fire, it's like a puzzle. They give you bits at a time, but the way it all comes together at the end is amazing. That's the way I wish more books were written.

We were discussing favorite dragons? Ooh, this'll be fun! I'm a big fan of NightWings and SkyWings. Seeing as we haven't had any SkyWing protagonists thus far, I'm extremely pumped for Escaping Peril. As for the NightWings... I must admit, it's mostly their dark nature and mysteriousness that brought me to like them, but there are some really interesting NightWings. They're smart. I love smart characters.
Favorite characters would be Starflight, Sunny (I WILL SHIP THEM NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS), Scarlet, Qibli and probably more I'm forgetting.
Imo RainWings are overrated. :3

Ah okay. I've looked them up on Goodreads, so I know that each book has a different POV. I might read this book and go on to the others so that I can read other POVs to see what you mean. Also I've heard that the Wings of Fire series is actually full of cliches but eh, I will let this slip.
And as for Warriors I adore the first series and Bluestar's Prophecy but I hate all the rest. TNP was extremely boring and didn't get better until Starlight, and even wasn't very good. TPOT and OOTS was downright ridiculous and I hated the atmosphere of OOTS. The only reason why I kept reading was because of Jayfeather being my favourite cat. I also dislike how Warriors has all these unnecessary books like the guides, so many Super Editions, Mangas, etc. It's like, just stop already.

Also the Icewings, Rainwings and Nightwings have caught my interest so far, but that's mainly because I love Ice Dragons and the Rainwings and Nightwings sound interesting.

So, bump?

Has anyone read Escaping Peril yet? (Don't forget spoilers.)

Also, would anyone like to check out my Wings of Fire RP?

I haven't read Moon Rising yet because I'm still waiting for the paperback version.

Soooo I probably won't be able to read Escaping Peril for a thousand years.
