Anyone here read the Wings of Fire series by Tsui Sutherland?? It's one of my favourite series. I think dragonadopters might be one of the reasons I like it so much, since the writing reminds me of some of the roleplay threads i used to read back on DrA. Nostalgia aside, I find the series is really enjoyable. Characters are likeable and real, and I really like the fact that death does happen without the series becoming too gritty or edgy. I also think it's a neat idea to swap characters each book so that they're all fleshed out throughout the course of the series. I definitely think the first five books of the series were the strongest but I still am reading the series as it's written. I don't think writing is the series strong suit, it's written very simply without much depth, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. It doesn't take much away from the plot and it helps the books reach a wider audience. The wordbuilding is probably the series strongest aspect. It is very effective at making the world feel lived in and tangible. It definitely helps that rather than constantly moving forward the plot the series has points where it stops to show the characters interacting with their surroundings.

When I was younger it was definitely glory, but I think she’d be a little to cliche now. I also like clay but he’s a bit too simple with his food gag. I think it might be sunny, she just seems really seeet and I can definitely relate to feeling helpless and trying to live up to expectations (the prophecy)

I don't think I'm caught up. I stopped when the first arc ended with the original Dragonets, it was REALLY good. I feel like I can't immerse myself as well in the next arc with the Nightwing, so it's been a while since I've read the books.
