Student Book Review - The Brightest Night


The Brightest Night
From series “Wings of Fire”
Dragons who read minds, foretell tell the future, breath fire, disappear into black darkness. Dragons who all come from different tribes all around Pyrrhia; Mudwings, Sandwings, Skywings, Seawings, Rainwings, Icewings and, the mysterious Nightwings…
https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQijaeKglf5PUFVe82aUcfbBXA8R4gSts4eQcfDz7O9qCnSLlemThere was once a prophecy that five eggs were to be born on the brightest night and save all dragons of Pyrrhia from the war of the three Sandwing sisters; Burn, Blister, and Blaze after the death of their mother, Queen Oasis. These prophecy dragnets were to decide on which Sandwing sister will take the throne to control Pyrrhia’s largest land area. All these dragnets didn’t quit care about their duties and their goal to Pyrrhia except for Sunny. The Sandwing that’s been chosen for the prophecy. She knew in her heart that her destiny was to choose a Sandwing sister and end the war with the help of her dragnet friends; Clay, Tsunami, Starflight and Glory who’s a Rainwing (she was the replacement for their Skywing). Sunny decides to set off to a journey to see what’s really going on around Pyrrhia. She comes across exciting news and meets many new dragons, but buried secrets, deadly surprises, and unexpected side to scavengers are all awaiting for her in the shifting sands of the dessert, where Sunny must decide once in for all: Is her destiny already written? Or can five dragnets change their fate and change the world….the way they choose?
My favourite part of the book is chapter 25. The part where Blister gives her older sister Burn a “present,” that lends Burn’s life forever. This book is different from all the other series. First of all it’s written from Sunny’s perspective (every book is written from a dragon’s view). Most importantly this book ends the series about this prophecy. It’s the book that tells you who won the war, who won the honor of the Sanwing throne….Thorn (will not say/describe who she really is) reminds me of myself. I do sometimes get over protective especially around my three younger sisters. Thorn is also over protective around dragons, especially dragons that are very close to her…
I would rate this book 5 stars out of 5, and even more if I could! I’d give 5 stars because this book really grabbed my attention in every scene. The words come out so clearly as if they’re pictures. I can imagine in my head every scene that I read. The vocabulary is very descriptive and the main idea was interesting. I do recommend that before you read this book, you read all other 4 books of this series so that you can understand the main idea.
