Talons of Power Wings of Fire Book 9 Tui T Sutherland 9780545685436 Books Reviews


  • No words can explain how I am feeling! The ending was such a surprise, that when the last book comes out, I don't even know how much drama there will be! I definitely recommend this book for animal and action book lovers. Definitely buy this. It's a must read. Can't wait to see what happens in the final book!
  • This is an amazing book with adventure, mystery, and has just a hint of romance to tie it all together. The book is told from Turtle's perpective which gives us another look at the world. I recommend this book to any Wings of Fire fan. You will not be disappointed.
  • This book has everything I expected, and more! While I can't say I approve of the ending, everything else was great. At first I was a little wary of Turtle. He was afraid of everything, seemingly even his own shadow. But as the book progressed, he changed into the confident, mature character I was expecting. I also got to know Anemone better too, along with Kinkajou. Sadly, Moon, Winter, Qibli, Peril, and the other Dragonets of Destiny weren't in it all that much, but hopefully will be in the next book The Darkness Of Dragons. Overall, I really liked this book and would recommend it to anyone who loves fantasy, or to other Wings of Fire fans.
  • This was a good continuation of the Wings of Fire series. The book was easy to read and progresses into the next part of the Darkstalker story arc. There was a stand alone Darkstalker book released that explains Darkstalker’s history and it would be helpful to read that book before reading this one. I continue to read this series mostly because my 10 year old son enjoys it so much; I have also become somewhat attached to these dragons myself.

    This continues the storyline with Darkstalker's awakening and really focuses on animus dragons. The story is told from Turtle’s perspective; he is a SeaWing dragon that is an animus in secret. He alone seems to be immune to Darkstalker’s charm and it is up to him to discern what Darkstalker is really up to.

    There isn't a lot resolved in this story, it is basically just the start of another broad storyline involving Darkstalker and his efforts to rebuild the Nightwing Clan and gain the trust of the other Dragon Clans. We learn some more about Turtle’s history and past, but honestly not a ton happens in here. Mostly this book seems to be setting up the story for more excitement in future books. There is a sense of doom over the whole story as you are just waiting for things to go really wrong in the next book.

    Overall this was a good continuation of this series. I liked learning more about animus dragons and it was interesting to see things from Turtle's perspective. However I felt like this was a very short book and not a lot actually happened in here. I am curious to see what this book builds to as the series continues. Recommended to fans of the Wings of Fire series.
  • This book was so good. I like how this one and Darkness of Dragons work together so well. The funniest part in the book by far to me is when the Icewings see Darkstalker in the library and shriek loud enough to break glass. Anyway good book, Turtle is one of my favorite characters along with Winter, Qibli. Moon, Peril, Pike, Hailstorm, Mightyclaws, Prince Arctic (although Arctic doesn't officially appear in this book) and many others. Now like other reviewers I also have to caution parents with young children about this series, but don't let it stop you from reading these books because they are very good. Well worth the money. I recommend this series to anyone who wishes for a good page turner.
  • I work third shift and actually stayed awake until the mail came so I could start reading this book. I can always tell I will like a book within a few pages, and I am not even through the prologue and already it is way better the "Darkstalker." I would have kept reading it if I had not had to work.
  • I have been reading this series as a bedtime story to my son (who is 8), and I enjoy reading them as much as he enjoys hearing them. He first picked this series out from a book form from his school about 6 months ago (we got the box set with the first 5 books). As soon as we had finished the box set, I started my search online for the rest of them. Now we are almost done with this one and he's already asking when the next book is going to be out!
  • My daughter has been reading the series and really enjoys it. After she finished the 8th book, she couldn't wait to begin reading the next book in the series. The 9th book arrived on time and as with the previous books in the series, my daughter loved it.
