Dragonslayer
Book - 2020
Ivy doesn't trust the Dragonslayer. He may be her father and the beloved ruler of Valor, but she knows he's hiding more than the treasure from the sand dragon he killed two decades ago. Leaf doesn't trust dragons. They're the reason his favorite sister, Wren, is dead, and now he'll do whatever it takes to slay even one. Wren doesn't trust anyone. She swore off humans after her village tried to sacrifice her to the dragons. She only has one friend, a small, wonderful mountain dragon named Sky, and they don't need anyone else. In a world of dragons, the humans who scramble around underfoot are easy to overlook. But Ivy, Leaf, and Wren will each cross paths with dragons in ways that could shape the destiny of both species. Is a new future possible for all of them... one in which humans can look to the skies with hope instead of fear?

Add a CommentNot my favourite Tui Sutherland story. I feel that this lacked the something special that was in some of Sutherland's other books.
One of the things that made me love the Wings of Fire series in the first place was the fact that the characters were all dragons, without those pesky humans hogging the spotlight. Too often I'd see a book that was supposedly about dragons, but it was really more about the human who bonded with/saved/fought/rode the dragon. Wings of Fire was so refreshing in that regard. So when I heard this book was coming out and would star humans I wasn't that enthusiastic. I needn't have worried. I'm happy to report that Dragonslayer was a fantastic read that added a lot of depth to the world of WoF, and although I still prefer the dragons themselves, I look forward to the further adventures of these human characters, too.
the second part with moon and icicle stunk
Wings Of Fire is a book series about dragons and full of magic. But the latest installment, Dragonslayer was a bit different compared to all the other books. Mostly because it was from the views of humans for the first time in the series. The 3 main characters for this book are Wren, Leaf, and Ivy. Wren is the younger sister to Leaf, and was left for dead by her village. But with the help of her dragon friend Sky, she traveled the world. Leaf, devastated by the loss of his sister, began a hunt for revenge. Unaware that she lived, he trained to kill dragons from his older sister Rowan. And Ivy the daughter of the famous dragonslayer. Curious by thoughtful, she tries to learn more about dragon along with her friends Daffodil and Violet. These 3 varying perspectives help to paint the world they’ve known, in a whole different light. With fantastic description, these unlikely heroes will unearth mysteries that you change their lives. I really enjoyed reading this book. I’m a huge fan of the Wings Of Fire series, so this was a no brainer to read. I was super excited for this and I definitely was not disappointed. It was amazing to see the world of dragons through the eyes of humans. I would definitely read this again! 5/5 stars - Maade, SAPL Read it & Review Contributor

What a awesome book. I was so excited that I decided to buy it! One of the best books in the series.
what an awesome book. I just hope that there is an follow up.
I can't believe I'm still following this series after 4 years. Still good though. Interesting to see the story from the perspective of humans.
