Talons of Power (Wings of Fire #9) (9) Paperback – May 29, 2018

PLS READ THE NEXT BOOK. IT IS WHERE ALL OF THE EXCITEMENT STARTS. I BEG YOU, PLEASE READ THE NEXT BOOK.

Bought this for a birthday gift for a 10 yr old. She was excited to keep reading the series

Great

He loves this series.

The adventure begins with a failure, a heavy burden that are hero does not realize is really a truth, for Turtle, BLAH BLAH BLAH! Let's be honest, I'm not that kind of reviewer. So okay, Turtle is feeling really cowardly and decides to hide from Darkstalker, which I would do that, run to my cave and hide there until I realize I'm the only way to stop him, hint hint ,Turtle. So , instead he decides to convince himself he's the character that does the second the plot is revealed, which Tui did in the last book, Escaping Peril. Who by the way, has a adorable conversation with Clay that I wish Turtle overheard. Anyway, he instead follows Darkstalker to the rain forest *spoiler alert, spoiler alert*!THEN, Turtle is forced to take off his disguise and Anemone makes a run for it!Yep that's right. It was to jam packed to not even mention a thing! It was the greatest book ever and you should totally buy it for yourself. Because the only thing that's going to convince you, is reading it yourself! But a little life advice, there's always a chance to be a hero. Even if your helping one, remember you are one. Turtle needs to know that.😉

It was a gift and the little girl loved it😍

This was a good continuation of the Wings of Fire series. The book was easy to read and progresses into the next part of the Darkstalker story arc. There was a stand alone Darkstalker book released that explains Darkstalker’s history and it would be helpful to read that book before reading this one. I continue to read this series mostly because my 10 year old son enjoys it so much; I have also become somewhat attached to these dragons myself.This continues the storyline with Darkstalker's awakening and really focuses on animus dragons. The story is told from Turtle’s perspective; he is a SeaWing dragon that is an animus in secret. He alone seems to be immune to Darkstalker’s charm and it is up to him to discern what Darkstalker is really up to.There isn't a lot resolved in this story, it is basically just the start of another broad storyline involving Darkstalker and his efforts to rebuild the Nightwing Clan and gain the trust of the other Dragon Clans. We learn some more about Turtle’s history and past, but honestly not a ton happens in here. Mostly this book seems to be setting up the story for more excitement in future books. There is a sense of doom over the whole story as you are just waiting for things to go really wrong in the next book.Overall this was a good continuation of this series. I liked learning more about animus dragons and it was interesting to see things from Turtle's perspective. However I felt like this was a very short book and not a lot actually happened in here. I am curious to see what this book builds to as the series continues. Recommended to fans of the Wings of Fire series.

The designers mature, the bond and battle. very dark stories for 8 year olds. and the story continues. I'll keep read ing.
