Having escaped from the Talons of Peace with four other dragonets, Tsunami is thrilled to be heading to the SeaWing Kingdom from which she was stolen years ago. The five dragonets of destiny are supposed to stop a war among the various dragon factions, and she is sure that her mother's kingdom may be a safe place for her and her companions. But they've barely arrived when the others are put in a cave, and Tsunami must navigate lies, deceit, and treachery from every direction. Through it all, she isn't sure just how much she can trust anyone, even her mother. This is the second title in the Wings of Fire series, and I found it quite compelling. These dragons are fascinating and have unique personalities, and made the story fly by faster than I wish I had. Fans of the series will like the introduction of a possible love interest for Tsunami and her struggles to learn the language of her people. Like me, they'll love how she tries to tame her impulsive nature and her loyalty to her sister Anemone. I actually liked this one better than the first because the plot was easier to follow. I think that the character development was better and I loved that the reader had the opportunity to connect with someone different other than Clay. Tsunami’s story is heartbreaking because she’s trying to connect with her mother but her mother is more worried about being queen than reuniting with her daughter. It’s super interesting to see how harsh the world is amongst the dragons. Peril was absent, and I'm not sure if the new characters introduced here (Riptide, Anemone) are going to show up in the next book either. I'm worried that each book is going to start a new plot and we'll never end up getting resolutions to the problems introduced in the new books because we jump into a completely different narrative. There were a number of twists that I found very interesting, but I felt like many of them were not used to the full extent that they could have been. Like with Tsunami finding out [the dragon she killed in the arena was her father.] That just felt like a big deal to me, yet Tsunami barely acknowledges this. Other than a few nitpicks, I had a lot of fun with this! It's a very easy read to get lost in.

This is an awesome book and I totally recommend it! I am running out of things to say Anyways, JUST READ IT and u will find out.
In the second book of Wings of Fire, the Dragonet's of Destiny travel to the Kingdom of Sea after meeting Clay's family, reuniting with Starflight, and learning that Tsunami is a Seawing princess, an heir to the royal Seawing throne. At first, life in the Kingdom of Sea is wonderful for Tsunami, but someone has been killing of Tsunami's sister's, heirs to the throne, while they are still in their eggs. Tsunami is determined to stop the mysterious dragon before it kills her mother's last egg. Tsunami's return home doesn't go as quite as she'd expected. She and her friends came to the sea seeking protection, but the Kingdom of the Sea holds secrets, some deadly.
I really enjoy how the drama continues in this book, but there were ups and downs in this book with the mother-daughter relationship theme. I think the author continues to do a prodigious job in connecting real-life lessons to the dragon world. I'm excited to read more!
I've read "The Dragonet Prophecy" and I really enjoyed it. I'm ready to read the second one now, and once I do I'll let you all know how it is. I do recommend the book series though. ^w^
I like the book
