Wings of Fire: The Dragonet Prophecy


Clay is one of the five dragonets raised in a cave under a mountain, preparing to end a war. But he’s never felt special. All his life, he’s been expected to fulfill this great, world-saving prophecy that will end the war that has been tearing apart Pyrrhia for almost twenty years. But he doesn’t know how to do this! He would be perfectly happy  living quietly the rest of his life with his friends (and plenty of food). But his friends, the rest of the Dragonets of Destiny, want to get out of the cave where their guardians have kept them all their life. Clay isn’t sure how to react — but when the life of one of his friends is put in danger, he knows he’ll have to do whatever it takes to save her.

The Wings of Fire series (the series that this book is the first book of) is just AMAZING. The characters are relatable, and nothing’s ever boring. I would seriously recommend reading this book. I give it 5 out of 5 stars, definitely.

Window or Mirror?


For starters, what is a window or a mirror in this context? Well, if a book is a mirror to you, then the character, plot, or something else is very relatable to you or your life. If a book is a window to you, however, it might be relatable in some small ways, but it’s mostly not very relatable. Most books are probably going to be windows, especially if you like reading books with dragons and spies and magic, (unless you’re a… magical dragon spy, which something tells me nobody reading this is) but not necessarily for everybody.

The book I’m currently is The Mark of Athena, by Rick Riordan. It’s the third book in The Heroes of Olympus series, which is the follow up series to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. This book is about a group of seven demigods (people who have a godly parent) who, by the order of an ancient prophecy, have to stop the rising of Gaea, who is, basically, the earth (the ground, not the planet.) I’m sort of scared to say more then that, because even through I could probably reveal more, I don’t want to spoil anything, because there are SO MANY important plot details that are revealed during the book, some in one of the first chapters, some almost at the end of the book.

This book is definitely a window to me — I’m not a demigod, for one thing, (although I wish I was) and I’m also not on a quest to save the world (although, again, I wish I was.) I also don’t really relate to any of the characters that much — they’re all great characters, but none of them are really much like me.

Anyways, this is a great book, I’d highly recommend reading it — although make sure to read the first two books in the series and the Percy Jackson series before you do, if you haven’t already. Thanks for reading! Bye!

What I’m Reading Right Now

Lodestar, the 5th book in the Keeper of the Lost Cities series.

I am currently reading Lodestar by Shannon Messenger, the fifth book in the Keeper of the Lost Cities series.

This is a really good book. I can’t really tell you much about it, as it would include spoilers for the previous books in the series, but I’ll tell you about the first book! 🙂 This series is fantasy. The first book is just called Keeper of the Lost Cities.

Sophie Foster has always been different. Ever since she was five years old, when she hit her head and  passed out, she’s been able to hear the thoughts of others, and she doesn’t know why, and she’s never been able to tell anyone.
And if this isn’t bad enough, she has to live as a twelve-year old high school senior. She doesn’t want the attention that this gives her— she always wears dull-colored clothes and she stays in the back, but this rarely helps.

But when she’s on a field trip to a museum, she meets a boy named Fitz — and everything changes.

She learns that he’s a Telepath too, and that neither her nor him are human —they’re both elves, and the elves  aren’t exactly helping Santa in the North Pole. They’re hidden away, and in the Lost Cities (the hidden cities the elves live in) everything seems so perfect. All elves are powerful, and rich, and beautiful. But this doesn’t make them perfect, and Sophie soon realizes there’s a lot more going on under the surface than most people realize. And it’s up to her to help.

This series is amazing and I highly recommend it. (I had been trying to get my friend Meera to read it for ages, and she finally gave in, and now she’s obsessed with the series, and she normally doesn’t really enjoy series like this — so I think it’s a pretty good series for everybody.) In fact, book 8.5, Unlocked, is coming out in five days! (As of November 12th.) Well, yeah! That’s all I have to say!

Thanks for reading this! Bye! 🙂
