review 1: What happened in this book is the main character Starflight was kidnapped and brought back to the kingdom of night. There he met his sister and his father. Starflight is part of a team of young dragons, who are destined to save the world. But there is a backup team that is ready to take over the first team. In order to save his friends, he must escape and get back to them in time.I felt that if Starflight really wanted to warn his friends, he should have tried to escape sooner. Then again if he did, then there wouldn't really be a book. More like a short story. But I still really enjoyed reading it. And it was a very good book.I feel that the people who should read this book are people who are really into dragons. Or people who like to read about them. But you'd first have... more to read the first three books, in order to understand this one.
review 2: On the island of Pyrrhia a war rages over the throne of the sand wing kingdom. A group of dragonets are destined to select the next queen and end the war. The fourth book in the saga, it focuses on the night wing dragonet, Starflight, as he discovers the truth about his mysterious tribe. He discovers that the night wings reside on a smaller island with an active volcano. He discovers that the night wings have raised another group of dragonets to replace him and the other dragonets incase he didn’t make them select Blister as queen. He is confronted in the night wing court, where he is questioned whether the rain wings are planning to attack the night wing kingdom and rescue the captive rain wings. His confrontation with the court is interrupted when the assassin that was sent to hunt the dragonets is thrown out on to the platform with him. As with every saga I’ve read, each book gets longer then the one before it. A mystery that has stood unanswered throughout the entire saga is just about everything about the night wing kingdom. A great example of this is the queen of the night wings. In the front of the book, there is a guide to the dragons of Pyrrhia. It states all the types of dragons, describes them (altho it isn’t completely accurate) and names there queen. Every queen but the night wings’. When Starflight is confronted by the council, his thoughts state that the queen is concealed behind a screen in the wall and has Princess Greatness talk for her. Everything you’d want to be answered hasn’t been. It also shows that the glory of the night wing kingdom has decayed. The theme of the book is quite rare, because there aren’t many books that have the main specie dragons. I would recommend this book to younger fiction readers, anyone who likes dragons, or anyone who likes to read fictions but doesn’t have a lot of time. The reason for that last suggestion is because this is a children's’ book, it’s meant for fifth and sixth graders, but the story and the plot is more complex and advanced then that. I rate the book with a four out of five. I give it this rating because I am unsatisfied with how many theories and questions I still have unanswered. less
