Audiobook Quality (4/5): The audiobook was decently done, I didn’t mind it. There are a lot of characters in this book and some of the character voices sounded very similar. Even given that I was never confused about who was who and the narration was pleasant to listen to.
Story (4/5): This book mainly follows Snowfall but ties into both the book featuring the “scavengers” (humans) and the books featuring the dragons from the Lost Continent. We mainly follow Snowfall as she struggles to figure out how to be a good queen and ends up having to deal with, not only new types of dragons, but also humans who can speak dragon! I enjoyed how everything came together and am excited to see how it all wraps up in the next book.
Characters (4/5): We spend more time with a lot of the side dragons from other books and get to also spend time with a lot of old favorites. Snowfall is definitely not a dragon I really love spending time with, however she did undergo a lot of growth throughout the story. I enjoyed the other dragons more than her. I loved watching the dragons from both continents interact. I also really enjoyed when the dragons meet the humans who can speak dragon.
Setting (4/5): The early part of the book takes place in the Ice Kingdom but we end up in Sanctuary by the end of the book. It was nice to be back on the main Continent. Not a lot to say about the setting, if you are still reading this series you are very familiar with it. Excellent world-building throughout this series.
Writing Style (4/5): Again with a series this long-running there isn’t a lot to say that I haven’t said before. This was an engaging and easy to read book. I really enjoyed how so many storylines from the previous books come together in this novel. I am excited to see how the 15th book wraps up this storyline. I started reading these books with my son many, many years ago. They aren’t something I absolutely love because I haven’t really been into middle grade reading anymore; however, I enjoy the story enough to keep up with the series. I do think this is a middle grade series that is easy for parents to enjoy with their kids. I am not sure if Sutherland is planning another 5 book sub-series within this series, but I plan on stopping the series after this story arc ties up in book fifteen.
My Summary (4/5): Overall this was another well done book in the Wings of Fire series. I think fans of the series will be really pleased with this. The featured dragon here, Snowfall, wasn’t my favorite but she undergoes a lot of change and growth throughout the book. I did enjoy how so many elements from earlier in the series are coming together so nicely. I am really looking forward to the final book in this story arc.
The last thing she needs is an influx of weird foreign dragons from the distant continent of Pantala. What's more, these foreign dragons bring news of a desperately bad situation on Pantala and want help.
The story takes place almost entirely on Pyrrhia (with a certain partial exception which I can't describe without spoilers). A conference of all the queens of Pyrrhian dragons along with representatives of the tribes of Pantala is convened to figure out how to deal with the problem. Snowfall ends up playing an unexpectedly important role in that conference. A plan is agreed upon, The upshot of that plan will be the business of The Flames of Hope.
I liked this one a lot. It is a little bit of a spoiler to say this, but I will keep it vague: Snowfall's personal growth is a large part of the story, and is what makes it a good one.
The book features what begins off as a very unlikable protagonist, although she starts off fine her incessant worrying and the authors need to constantly remind the reader that this dragon thinks ALL THE OTHER DRAGONS ARE OUT TO GET HER gets old quick. Although this does get better as the story progresses, and we get many nice cameos of past characters, this book feels a little flat compared to the rich intense battle scenes of the past books.
The book comes across as an in depth character study of Snowfall, but fails to significantly progress the plot in any ways that makes me as a reader feel that sense of urgency.
It also seems to be setting the series up for an unsatisfying “and everyone was friends and saved the day with the power of friendship” ending. One of the things I loved about the first two arcs was how dragons didn’t always get along- the lack of disgruntled silkwings or hivewings or anyone for Snowfalls actions was disappointing. Everyone was supportive of her, even when she came across as paranoid and rude. Which, I suppose she was the queen, but still.
Overall, the story had several interesting bits- I liked the development of the ice kingdom, and wish there was more of it. I enjoyed the side characters, Lynx was particularly nice.
It was good to see Winter, Moon, and Qibli again.
Adding the Scavengers felt like a half formulated afterthought as a way to drag the side series into the main one- I would’ve much preferred that Dragonslayers stay separate.
Sanctuary was cool, again, I wish there was more time spent on the city instead of Snowfall.
Overall, the book was good enough to read, but not one I’d read over and over like I have some of the other books.

Anyways, I'm so happy that there is another book writen about a queen. The first one was about Queen Glory, the third book in the series, and now Queen Snowfall. I thought it was kind of weird that Snowfall goes away for a few days, and sudenly starts to break 3 anumis obejcts. But it did make me feel better that the wall was one of them. I really thought the wall was dumb. Like, if you didn't want people to judge you, you had to work and fight, and not even care about your future, and now that the wall is gone, the dimond challenge is gone too, I hated the dimond challenge, you had to kill another dragon to have the best ranking, I mean seriously. Opal is an amazing dragon too, wasted her one chance to use her anumis magic, just to help new queens. And now I have see Jerboa as a whole new dragon, this might sound rude but, who could be so selfish to stop all the living anumis dragons, unble to use any magic at all, I really hope in the new coming of book 15, somehow they fix amunis magic, but I cannot predeict the future.
