Suddenly talons wrapped around Sunny’s snout and shoulders and she was yanked into the dark trees. Book five of Wings of Fire, The Brightest Night, starts out with Sunny getting kidnapped by NightWings. The dragon tribes live on Pyrrhia, a land divided into tribal lands. Sunny is a little golden dragon from the SandWing tribe. She is very optimistic and always thinks things will turn out for the best. She is cleaver and funny. Sunny makes friends with everyone, even those who might be her enemies. She is good at persuading others to follow what she says.After being kidnapped from the rainforest, Sunny hears the NightWings’ secret plan to sell her and her friends, who are dragonets of destiny. She escapes and follows them to make sure their plan fails. The NightWings go into the Scorpion Den, in the Sand Kingdom. They want to meet with Thorn, the leader of the city, to contact a buyer for Sunny and her friends. Sunny follows them into the city. Thorn doesn’t like their plan and throws the NightWings in prison. Sunny finds out that Thorn is her mother, but is soon captured by Adix, who is a traitor of Thorn. He takes her to the evil queen, Burn. Thorn attacks Burn’s stronghold with a small army, letting Sunny escape.Sunny meets up with her friends in the rainforest. They devise a plan to stop the war raging between the dragon tribes and choose the new queen, as the prophecy says, and try to figure out the mystery of the murdered Queen Oasis.This book has a good message about not letting someone lay out your life for you, that you can choose your own path. Sunny and her friends are believed to be the chosen dragons of a prophecy and at first feel like they have to fulfill the prophecy. But, they find out the prophecy isn’t real and that they don’t have to follow the prophecy. Many of the dragons in the different tribes are looking forward to the prophecy being fulfilled. So, Sunny convinces her friends to follow the path of the prophecy for those dragons who believe. The dragon tribes want the war to end and Sunny and her friends can make that happen. I think it is important to do what you think is right instead of just letting someone else choosing your path for you. Sunny and her friends make their own destiny while choosing to help the dragon tribes and those who believe in the prophecy.I strongly recommend this book, for ages 8 year and older, if you like fantasy and dragons. You will never want to put the book down. All the books in the series are about 300 pages long. It is a good action fantasy with a constant fun story. I would give this book 5 stars.

My Thoughts: I would say this is an amazing end to an amazing series….. however, there are still what – three more books in the series? It just doesn’t make sense, because the next few books have a completely NEW topic, with completely NEW characters. :/Anyways, I just love Wings of Fire. The characters, the charm, the humor, the mystery, the EVERYTHING. (sorry, I’m in a mood for caps today 🙂 ). I could repeat everything I’ve said in the previous reviews about the writing, but I’m sure that will bore everyone to death (it did with my brother) so I’m just going to stick with the story and characters today.SUNNY! To be honest, when I started this book, Sunny kind of blew me away. Sutherland just made her seem… so one-sided in the previous books, but then when actually get her perspective there’s an overflow of thought, depth, and emotion. Her faith to the prophecy, the way she has a kind excuse for everything everyone does, and her undying love, trust, and loyalty in her friends is what we previously think makes Sunny Sunny. But there’s so much more layered in – her hurt and annoyance at the way people look at her- treat her, rather – her understanding, her search for the good in everyone… it’s all a lot deeper than expected. I really enjoyed her perspective, and actually liked her indignance (spelling? again, sorry).Thorn, Smolder, and Deathbringer were also some of the highlight characters, in my opinion, from the story. Deathbringer wasn’t actually in the book that much, but when he is, I can’t help laughing out loud at his comments. Thorn seemed like the perfect mother for Sunny…fiercely protective, loving, overall caring and loyal, but sharing some other qualities similar to Tsunami, too, which made me laugh as well. Smolder was an interesting character….I won’t elaborate, but I wonder how differently Tsunami, Clay, Glory, and Starflight would have treated him.The ending was great… suspenseful, action-packed, everything you want in the climax of a series.

Finally bringing closure to all the great conflicts of the first four books, this very satisfying book brings together all the threads in a surprising ending which is very true to the storyline. Sutherland makes everything fit and sets the stage for the next set of plots and new characters. Tui is a masterful storyteller and my 10 year old granddaughter and I are fully invested in the series. You will be as well. Highly recommended for the 8 to 12 year old set and maybe even a bit beyond as there are great themes for the early teens as well. Can be a bit violent at times so I don’t recommend for younger than eight.

The Brightest Night (Wings of Fire #5)
Really good book, you can read it at the park, at lunch, or on a road trip. The book does a good job of grabbing your attention and making you forget everything! although this is not the first book, if you are looking for the first book this is not the book (I know it says in the title but just in case) so yeah pretty cool
