Wings of Fire Book Two: The Lost Heir Description
From School Library Journal
Gr 4-7-The dragonets set out to find the hidden underwater SeaWing kingdom and Queen Coral, Tsunami's mother, in this exciting sequel to The Dragonet Prophecy (Scholastic, 2012). When they arrive, Coral is thrilled to see the daughter who was stolen from her as an egg, but things don't go exactly as planned. Tsunami had always assumed she was the sole heir to the SeaWing throne, but a surprise younger sister leaves her confused about her future role, and Queen Coral's distrust of the other dragonets causes them to be imprisoned yet again. Having read the first book in the series will help youngsters understand the motivations behind the characters' choices, but isn't strictly necessary to enjoy the nonstop action. Tensions mount as someone continues to kill Coral's unhatched female dragonets, and Tsunami herself is attacked. The dragonets become more and more endearing as the series progresses, and the adults more sinister. Moments of danger and brutality are tempered with comic relief, making this a perfect adventure for young fantasy fans to sink their teeth into.-Mandy Laferriere, Fowler Middle School, Frisco, TXα(c) Copyright 2013.

From Booklist
The Dragonets of Destiny, having escaped their prison in the kingdom of the Skywings, seek out the ocean kingdom of the Seawings. Tsunami, the Seawing princess stolen as an unhatched egg by the Talons of Peace, is expecting a rapturous reunion with her mother, Queen Coral. Though Tsunami is welcomed by the queen, she realizes that finding the kingdom and returning home are two different things. Having set the scene in The Dragonet Prophecy (2012), Sutherland spends more time on character development here, with the bulk of the book focusing on Tsunami’s story. With only a few pieces falling into place, there are still intrigues to uncover and kingdoms to visit in upcoming volumes. Grades 4-7, --Kara Dean
