I may not be the target audience for middle grade anymore but Tui T。 Sutherland still writes enjoyable books。I really enjoyed this！ At first I was worried that I wouldn't because。。。Queen Snowfall？ What does she have to do with ANY of this？ I was so confused about what would happen。 But I actually think I liked this book better than some of the others。 Maybe it was because views change， I got older， etc。 but I felt like it was just sort of a fun， easy read with an enjoyable protagonist。I really l I may not be the target audience for middle grade anymore but Tui T。 Sutherland still writes enjoyable books。I really enjoyed this！ At first I was worried that I wouldn't because。。。Queen Snowfall？ What does she have to do with ANY of this？ I was so confused about what would happen。 But I actually think I liked this book better than some of the others。 Maybe it was because views change， I got older， etc。 but I felt like it was just sort of a fun， easy read with an enjoyable protagonist。I really liked Snowfall's character growth in this， especially。 I feel like it's not something we saw as much with the other books but here there was such pressure on her as the Queen and stuff like that， not to mention an enchanted crown that makes her think bad things about the Nightwings， and she was always so uptight and nervous and then when she got away from all that she was。。。so much better。Ummmm other than that， it was a cool plot， can't wait to see what happens next， I liked seeing the humans in this book， as well as Sky， and Snowfall and Lynx need to get together， not Snowfall and Sky please and thank you。 。。。more

This entire series is just unbelievably amazing。

The dangerous gift is the fourth book in the third arc of this series。 It is set in the point of view of Snowfall， queen of the ice wings。 She is highly strung， full of anxiety and can be cold。 But I ended up warming up to her by the end of the book。 Tui came up with a very clever way to get points of views of characters on the other continent。 Fans will love the reappearance of some old favourites from other arcs。 The ending I found totally creepy but my kids did not。 My kids love this series a The dangerous gift is the fourth book in the third arc of this series。 It is set in the point of view of Snowfall， queen of the ice wings。 She is highly strung， full of anxiety and can be cold。 But I ended up warming up to her by the end of the book。 Tui came up with a very clever way to get points of views of characters on the other continent。 Fans will love the reappearance of some old favourites from other arcs。 The ending I found totally creepy but my kids did not。 My kids love this series and we usually read each new book together and then they will read it multiple times by themselves。 It is a series just as entertaining for adults who love dragons as it is for kids。 I do recommend for older kids because they can be violent at times。 My kids rate this 5 stars。It was another great story from Tui， as expected。 。。。more

This book was amazing！！ The series was starting to go downhill and I was sort of scared to continue the series， but this book made up for all of it。 I loved Snowfall’s character development and by the end she had definitely become one of my favorite characters。 Although my favorite is most certainly still Cricket！！！！ I love her so freaking much！！！！ Blue is a close second， his character is so kind and I love it。 I hate that he’s being brain washed and hurting all those people he cares about， but This book was amazing！！ The series was starting to go downhill and I was sort of scared to continue the series， but this book made up for all of it。 I loved Snowfall’s character development and by the end she had definitely become one of my favorite characters。 Although my favorite is most certainly still Cricket！！！！ I love her so freaking much！！！！ Blue is a close second， his character is so kind and I love it。 I hate that he’s being brain washed and hurting all those people he cares about， but I can’t wait for an epic reunion between Blue and Cricket once everyone is freed。 Moon is definitely third on my list。 I loved her so much although the love triangle I didn’t really like so much。 Tsunami is probably fourth on my favorite characters list。 She’s AMAZING！！！ I also love Glory though and she’s doing an amazing job ruling the night wings and the rain wings。 Snowfall is 100% being added to my favorites list but if it gets any longer I might just have to say everyone is my favorite😂 If your a fan of the Wings of Fire series， YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK！！！！！ 💯 ⭐️！！！ 。。。more

Rounded up: As it stands， I'd probably give it a 2。5This book is only a bit better than Darkness of Dragons， which is actually quite tragic。 It suffers from the same problem as Darkness of Dragons ironically， building up high stake tensions ending on a cliffhanger the book before， only for it to grind to an absolute holt this book。 This book was just pure setup for the next book， with nothing interesting enough happening in it to give it the charm I fell in love with Wings of Fire for。 Nothing r Rounded up: As it stands， I'd probably give it a 2。5This book is only a bit better than Darkness of Dragons， which is actually quite tragic。 It suffers from the same problem as Darkness of Dragons ironically， building up high stake tensions ending on a cliffhanger the book before， only for it to grind to an absolute holt this book。 This book was just pure setup for the next book， with nothing interesting enough happening in it to give it the charm I fell in love with Wings of Fire for。 Nothing really changed at all this book， and any looks into what's happening at Plantala is far more interesting than what is happening in Pyrhia。 I understand why the author did the book in Pyrhia， I just really wish she instead focused on a dragon left at Plantala， covering whats important in the pro/epilouge。 That being sad， Snowfall's internal struggles in this book are very relatable， and the segment where we learn Jerboa's story is without a doubt the best part of the book。 I hope we get a legends or at least a winglet exploring it in more depth。 。。。more

I have to say this started a little slow for me。 Maybe where it had been a while since I did a reread of the series。 Also took a while for Queen Snowfall to grow on me， but by the end I really liked her a lot。 The books to me seem to be getting shorter tho。 For them to be so long in between books， you would think there would be more details making them longer。 Overall I liked the book， just wish there was more of it。 Cant wait to see how this wraps up。 Also would love a Clearsight super edition I have to say this started a little slow for me。 Maybe where it had been a while since I did a reread of the series。 Also took a while for Queen Snowfall to grow on me， but by the end I really liked her a lot。 The books to me seem to be getting shorter tho。 For them to be so long in between books， you would think there would be more details making them longer。 Overall I liked the book， just wish there was more of it。 Cant wait to see how this wraps up。 Also would love a Clearsight super edition at some point！ 。。。more

I always forget how funny these books are until I start one and then suddenly I'm laughing so hard I'm crying。 Snowfall needs a nap omg。 But while this was clearly mostly just a setup for the next book， I loved Snowfall's character development and to be back on Pyrrhia （and it was also interesting to see dragons we knew from Snowfall's suspicious， largely-in-the-dark POV）。 I also liked how the characters from Dragonslayer came into play， and I do appreciate knowing where the the final book is go I always forget how funny these books are until I start one and then suddenly I'm laughing so hard I'm crying。 Snowfall needs a nap omg。 But while this was clearly mostly just a setup for the next book， I loved Snowfall's character development and to be back on Pyrrhia （and it was also interesting to see dragons we knew from Snowfall's suspicious， largely-in-the-dark POV）。 I also liked how the characters from Dragonslayer came into play， and I do appreciate knowing where the the final book is going and how such conflicts are going to be resolved （considering how incredibly confused I was after The Poison Jungle）。 。。。more

Okay。 Good book。 It was fine。 Snowfall's perspective was interesting enough， even if she sounded like a whiney child most of the time。 （Spoilers duh）When I opened the page and the prologue began with my FAVORITE boi， Swordtail， I was overjoyed！！ Then we found out he's been mind controlled by the plant and Wasp。 NO！ How could they do this to poor Swordtail！！ My favorite character！！ The funniest and bestest Silkwing of all time！！！ Oh， and Blue too。My complaint？ The INFODUMPING。 Holy moly。 Snowfall Okay。 Good book。 It was fine。 Snowfall's perspective was interesting enough， even if she sounded like a whiney child most of the time。 （Spoilers duh）When I opened the page and the prologue began with my FAVORITE boi， Swordtail， I was overjoyed！！ Then we found out he's been mind controlled by the plant and Wasp。 NO！ How could they do this to poor Swordtail！！ My favorite character！！ The funniest and bestest Silkwing of all time！！！ Oh， and Blue too。My complaint？ The INFODUMPING。 Holy moly。 Snowfall wasn't a complicated character from the start。 She was young， her thoughts and feelings were simple and predictable。 She was the perfect vessel to explain what was happening in the actual plot over on Pantala。 And it was infuriating！ Reading from literally any other perspective of someone on the Lost Continent would've been a million times more interesting and just work better for the story。 This was nothing but "what should we do with the leafwings now that they're on Pyrrhia？" and "meanwhile where the villain and characters you actually care about （except Sundew and Cricket who just did nothing） are， Wasp is getting stronger"。 Look， I get it。 This book is the build-up to the super epic 5th book of the arc that'll come next。 But there was NO action。 It felt like a fanfiction of an Icewing OC that was just alive during the time of the Pantala & Breath of Evil stuff going on。 Not an actual book that'll contribute to the overall arc in any important way。 While this was disappointing， it was still written solidly enough。 The prologue was the highlight for me because SWORDTAIL， but all the different perspectives were written really well。 With only a few sentences you could get a real feel for the character。 If only Queen Snowfall herself could've been written with that much thought and care。 。。。more

Honestly not my favourite WoF book in the series。 It did answer most of the questions that lingered from book 13， the start just failed to engage me like most of the WoF books did from the beginning。 Let’s just say I’m looking forward to book 15 because I think it’ll be better （as in， more development will happen）。
