“Not every dragonet wants a destiny …
Clay has grown up under the mountain, chosen along with four other dragonets to fulfill a mysterious prophecy and end the war between the dragon tribes of Pyrrhia. He’s not so sure about the prophecy part, but Clay can’t imagine not living with the other dragonets; they’re his best friends.
So when one of the dragonets is threatened, all five spring into action. Together, they will choose freedom over fate, leave the mountain, and fulfill their destiny — on their own terms.”
This is the first book in the Wings of Fire graphic novel series; this is a reboot of the Wings of Fire series in graphic novel format and is exactly the same story as in the original Wings of Fire Book 1: The Dragonet Prophecy. It was well done and the drawing it decent. My son is a huge fan of this series, so I actually got this for him. It was fun to revisit these characters and reminisce about where everything started in this series.
I don’t have a ton else to say about this book. The story is one all Wings of Fire fans will know.
The illustration is in bright full color and is decently done. It’s not the most beautiful or detailed artwork ever, but it’s easy to follow and stays true to the story.
Overall this was a decent graphic novel adaption of the Wings of Fire series. If you are a big fan of the series you will probably enjoy this. If you have always wanted to read this series, and enjoy graphic novels more than full length books, this is your chance to read it. This graphic novel follows the original story well and the artwork is decent (but not great).
