Escaping Peril (Wings of Fire #8) (8)

Thoughts: I am literally blown away by this book. Sutherland has really outdone herself - in fact, I feel like her books only continue to improve. That's not to say that I didn't have a few issues with this book - but those were very minimal and hardly took away from the story. The plot was the only issue I had, actually. It felt like Sutherland wrote this whole book, and then decided that the ending wasn't memorable enough so she added in half of the next book to leave us on a cliffhanger (it worked). This, I found, was very frustrating, despite the added tension and excitement. Other than that, this book was amazing! I loved every one of the characters and how they've evolved over this series, although I would've liked to see some more of Winter, Kinkajou, and Qibli, some of my favorite characters. Peril's character was spot-on - the entire time, you could really feel her emotions. Although I originally wasn't too excited about the prospect of a book dedicated to Peril, I grew to love her character and was rooting for her by the end of the book. I loved the twist, too, and how it tied in with the brilliant prologue. The writing didn't stray far from its normal humor, suspense, and adventure - honestly, I think that the Wings of Fire series is the best series for middle grade readers. And although this book took a bit of a dark turn at the end, I'll be eagerly awaiting the next installment in this series.

Peril has been one of my favorite characters since she was introduced, and this has to be one of my favorite books from the series. She is such a relatable character in how we can come to depend on someone too much sometimes and lose our own opinions and thoughts. Her development in this area is shown remarkably well and one event that occurs, while setting up conflict, also shows that Peril has grown and changed a lot. I also love that she doesn’t reject the side of her that is obsessive and loving, but rather discovers a part of herself that she’d lost from years of manipulation. The book is consistent too with Peril’s personality of being brash and not so good socially which is an important aspect to me.

I am back to reading another Wings of Fire book! This one is called Escaping Peril, and it is all about Peril, a Skywing with the firescales. And it is about Peril trying to find the ex-queen Scarlet. There is some gore in the book but it is only in some small parts. And war is violent and vicious and pretty terrible, always, so why hide it? I loved reading Escaping Peril (Book Eight of the Wings of Fire series) by Tui Sutherland, and recommend it to all little bunnies who like dragons. [For Caramel's complete review, see the book bunnies' blog.]

My third grade niece became excited about this series. I bought her a book or two and then decided I wanted to see what she was so excited about. I am having a lot of fun with this series. Sutherland's characters develop slowly throughout the books, at least from an adult perspective, but as the series has gone on I am enjoying it more and more. The books are definitely aimed toward the 3-5 grade level. Some tough subjects that are addressed, like death, war, poor parenting, etc. I would've LOVED this series in my youth, as my niece does, as an adult I am still getting a kick out of it. I can't wait to see what will happen in upcoming book 9. Sutherland also has an accompanying series about the "Winglets." Haven't started those yet, but will probably add them to my summer book list.

I am a school librarian. I bought this book at the end of the school year. My 5th and 6th grade students found it first and I couldn't keep it on the shelf. My 5th and 6th grade students love this series. Each book in the series continues the story of the Dragons of Destiny. It was prophesied the Dragons of Destiny would stop the war and name the new Queen. The Dragons of Destiny were taken from their families/ tribes as eggs. They were kept in a cave for their safety. Their only knowledge of the outside is from scrolls. After running away, they go in search of their lost families, try of figure out how they are suppose to stop the war and struggle with who deserves to be queen. During these adventures the dragons find the beliefs and dreams of their families and tribes are not always in line with reality. Each book chronicles their adventures. I recommend this book.

The Wings of fire is a really good series with an excellent story line, and all the books have been very interesting and fast paced but for some reason this book wasn't the best. It got slow at times and some parts where admittedly rather boring. The ending was good but sections of Escaping Peril where either too fast or too slow. I hope the next book can be better, because i am looking foward to reading it. The other books on the other hand are amazing, they are a great read.

Eight books into the series, and Tui Sutherland hasn't lost steam. Each book continues the story from the previous ones, but through the eyes of a different main character. Peril is the the most deadly dragon in the world of Pyrrhia, and rightly so. With a simple touch, she can kill almost anybody! Trying to redeem herself, we really get to know how she views herself and others; she was raised to be a killer, so that's how she thinks. It's scary to follow her through her adventure with Turtle, trying to find former-queen Scarlett, and put a stop to her reign of terror. The pace in the story was well written, keeping me interested through the whole thing. Through all of these books, I just want to scream at a character, who always seems to misunderstand the feelings of their friends. But in the end, they grow to know how their friends give them strength.

I have a former student that is now in 7th grade that absolutely loves this series. She can’t get through the fast enough! I ordered one and had to buy the next one within a week.

Excelente

love the series

Bon produit conforme à la description.

The Gripping story continues seen through Peril‘s eyes and thoughts. My daughter (11years) and I are taking turns reading the series out loud to each other. It reads just like a movie and the characters and scenes come alive in our imaginations better than any animation.
