Wings of Fire Series

At my school, my friends were suggesting I read a certain series called Wings of Fire. So, I checked the first book out from my school library and loved it. Then, I put them on my wish list and my grandma got me the first 8 out of 11.

They are about five young dragons who have a prophecy. They are the Dragonets of Destiny, and they need to stop the war between five tribes. They were raised in a cave and have no idea how to do anything. The warring tribes are SandWings, MudWings, SeaWings, SkyWings, and IceWings. The SandWing queen was killed, which started the whole war. So, they would battle to see who should be the next queen. The daughters of the queen were Blister, Blaze, and Burn, and each of them has recruited tribes to help them. However, the Dragonets of Destiny want a peaceful ending to the war. They get to choose who will be the next queen. But suddenly, the mysterious NightWings and lazy RainWings get involved. How will everything turn out?

I would definitely suggest these books to anyone who likes books about dragons, or just wants a good story.

Here are pictures of what they look like:

Wings of Fire Book One: The Dragonet ProphecyWings of Fire Book Two: The Lost Heir

Wings of Fire Book Three: The Hidden KingdomWings of Fire Book Four: The Dark Secret

Wings of Fire Book Five: The Brightest NightMoon Rising (Wings of Fire, Book 6)

Winter Turning (Wings of Fire, Book 7)Escaping Peril (Wings of Fire, Book 8)

Talons of Power (Wings of Fire, Book 9)Darkness of Dragons (Wings of Fire, Book 10)

The Lost Continent (Wings of Fire, Book 11)

The first five are based on the five Dragonets of Destiny. According to what I have heard, there will be 15 books eventually. There are also other series. I will try to read them all, and I hope you liked this and read them, too!

Comparisons: The Series of Unfortunate Events Books #1, #2, and #3 VS. Movie

To sort of quote Lemony Snicket: Do not read this post. It will only bring you misery and woe, much like eating moldy bread, or in this case, the Baudelaire Orphans. It would be much better to read a nice post about singing rabbits and dancing deer. I have devoted myself to do homework involving comparing books to movies, but you have not made such a devotion. So, I strongly recommend you not to read this post.

Now, I will show an image of Books #1, #2, and #3:


You may notice the covers show a deadly man, an deadly snake, and a deadly storm, so you should not go on. It will only fill you with more fright.

Now, I will show an image concerning the same books, but a movie:


Now, I will talk about my weary comparison. The books contain a story of the Baudelaire Orphans. In the movie, it is the same, but Count Olaf, the hideous man, wants them all dead instead of one staying alive. In the movie, he tries to kill the children by hitting them with a train, and he does not try to take them to Peru. He does not wear his disguise on the sailboat, and the wedding is in the 1st book, not the 3rd. Before the wedding, Violet climbs up, not Klaus, and Klaus does not use the refraction and reflection of light to burn the wedding form. In book #3, Violet uses the refraction and reflection of light to attract attention to the sailboat, and uses her false hand to trick Count Olaf with the wedding form. If you find any more woeful differences, please tell me. I prefer the books because they explain the Baudelaire's troubles more, and because there are more of them.
