A Review of Tui T. Sutherland's Ninth WINGS OF FIRE Novel, Talons of Power by Ahan Devgun

Talons of power is the ninth book of Tui T Sutherland’s wings of fire series. This book is about dragons, all from different kingdoms in the land of Pyrrhia, each dragon in the different kingdoms have special powers relating to their kingdom

IceWings have the ability to withstand sub-zero temperatures and bright light. Icewings can also use frostbreath. Frostbreath is the ability to exhale ice, cold winds and frost.
SkyWings have powerful fighting and flying skills, they can also breath fire.

RainWings have the ability to change the color of their scales for camouflage, they can also spit venom

NightWings can breath fire, they can also read people’s minds and predict the future.

MudWings can breath fire as well, but only if the temperature is hot enough, they can also hold their breath up to an hour. MudWings also have abnormal strength.

SandWings can survive a long time without water. SandWings can use their tails to poison people.

SeaWings can breathe underwater, see in the dark, and create huge waves with one splash of their powerful tails. They are excellent swimmers.

The plot of this book is that the NightWing Darkstalker (the enemy of the NightWing and IceWing kingdoms) plans to take over Pyrrhia, using his animus powers.

(An animus has the ability to enchant objects to to your bidding. For example you can enchant a seashell to give you eternal life.)

Darkstalker makes an enchantment for everyone who sees him to like him. Another shy SeaWing animus named Turtle is the only one who can stop Darkstalker, even though his heroic friends are put under Darkstalker’s spell.




I think this book was very well written. It had many cliffhangers and plot twists. It had so much detail that I could see it vividly in my head. Also, this book is very emotional, it also had a lot of references to the question in Stephen Crane’s Red Badge of Courage, what is the meaning of bravery?
