#personally sutherland's worldbuilding leaves things to be desired
Note
Would you recommend getting “Wings of Fire “ cuz I can’t really make my mind up whether or not to get it…
honestly? yeah! the first arc is pretty damn solid and a ton of fun, so even if the first five are the only ones you read, it'll be a good time. fun characters, cool concepts, Dragons As People... it's just neat. the first arc - Dragonet Prophecy through The Brightest Night - is the best of the three
the second one is fun too, with awesome new characters and concepts, but honestly? i'd recommend reading it just so that you understand the solo book Darkstalker, bc imo that is the BEST book in the series. it fucks so severely, im not even exaggerating. it. goes. Hard. but yeah arc two - Moon Rising through Darkness of Dragons - while not as good as the first one, is a fun read, and the characters are (with a few exceptions) bangers. shit gets crazy
arc three... eh. its mid compared to arc two, let alone the first. Sutherland's writing slowly starts to lose quality and the plot is... uh. interesting. some of the characters are fun, but it's just! it could be better! but there is another standalone that's a fun read, which would be Dragonslayer - if memory serves, you don't need to read the arc to understand it, since its new characters + takes place in the past (but i'd rec reading that after at least the first arc). it's not Darkstalker levels of good, but i could compare its quality to the second arc
that was a whole Guide lmao oops. hope this helps! i really do think its worth it!
tl;dr: yea <3
#i couldnt speak for the fandom since ive never really been a big part of it?#the most i was involved was when i was mainly on instagram and posted mostly wings of fire#but my community was small and curated and i never really explored the fandom at large#as with all things im sure it has the good. the bad. the curated. and the downright heinous#but yes the books are neat#rambles from the bog#personally sutherland's worldbuilding leaves things to be desired#BUT! im a worldbuilder so im biased. i think her building is enough to be engaging and interesting#even if it lacks the layers & depth that i personally prefer to see in fantasy worlds i see/read#honestly ive been holding back w/ rereading#because id probably be stopping every five pages to write in depth headcanons and fill in the many many gaps in the#- say it with me! worldbuilding#and/or id get a shovel to make what she's written deeper#but i simply do not have the space for that. i have my own dragons to think of!
