“The lost heir to the SeaWing throne is going home at last.

She can’t believe it’s finally happening. Tsunami and her fellow dragonets of destiny are journeying under the water to the great SeaWing Kingdom. Stolen as an egg from the royal hatchery, Tsunami is eager to meet her future subjects and reunite with her mother, Queen Coral.

But Tsunami’s triumphant return doesn’t go quite the way she’d imagined. Queen Coral welcomes her with open wings, but a mysterious assassin has been killing off the queen’s heirs for years, and Tsunami may be the next target. The dragonets came to the SeaWings for protection, but this ocean hides secrets, betrayal — and perhaps even death.”

This is the second book in the Wings of Fire graphic novel series. I don’t have a ton to say about this book. It is a well done graphic novel version of the 2nd full length book in the Wings of Fire series. The illustration is solid and the story is similar to the book. My son is a huge Wings of Fire fan, so he has been getting these to read and giving them to me to read when he is done.

Tsunami journeys to the SeaWings to find her mother, Queen Coral, and learn about her family. However things don’t turn out as she expects.

The illustration is colorful, well done, and easy to follow. The dialogue is just as witty and cute as it was in the full length book. I do like the full length book better than these graphic novel versions, however these are a good option for kids who find the full length novels intimidating.

This is one of the better book to graphic novel series out there. I think both kids and adults who are fans of the Wings of Fire series will enjoy. Just be aware this doesn’t add anything to the world or story, just repeats it.

Overall this is a very well done graphic novel rendition of the second book in the Wings of Fire series. While I wouldn’t seek these out on my own, I will continue to read them as long as my son does. Recommended to fans of the Wings of Fire series, or those who would rather read this series in graphic novel than full length novel format.
