Description
I don't like your kingdom keysThey once belonged to me
You ask me for a place to sleep
Locked me out and threw a feast (what!?)
The world moves on, another day, another drama, drama
But not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma
And then the world moves on, but one thing's for sure (sure)
Maybe I got mine, but you'll all get yours
Look What You Made Me Do by Taylor Swift
Happy (belated) New Year, guys! It's been a rough few days for my family and I. Our dog of eleven years passed away after a horrible experience with the vet who was supposed to treat her (granted, he didn't CAUSE her death, as she was already very sick), my mom's been having continuing problems with the people currently renovating our house who seem fully committed to making sure the place goes up in flames, and, to top it all off, I have a cold. Not fun times. So yeah, I guess you could consider this vent art? Maybe? A little? Kind of? Admittedly, I'm not a huge Taylor Swift fan, but this song is such a good fit for Peacemaker, I knew I had to do something with it.
No critique desired. Please respect that.

Should be a good theme for the story.
I also sent you the NF song in messenger. Do you like it?

Wait...what? Of all the memes, why that one? Is it because Darkstalker is really old? I personally would have gone with 'all these flavors, and you choose to be salty'. An oldy but a goody.

I’m not a big fan of them either but when I heard this one I felt I had came to a realization that some parodies are good.

This is the perfect song for Peacemaker. Honestly. I hope something like this happens eventually in the book series. I know Tui says she's taking a break from animus powers, but I think this would be such a perfect message.

That is exactly how I felt about darkness of dragons. I gave it 1 star for all the contradictions and messed up themes.

I actually liked the book as a whole (mostly because of Vulture and Qibli) but the ending was kind of morally skewed. Like, yes he deserved it, but that's not the point. Darth Vader would have deserved Luke cleaving him with a light saber, but did he? No. A great example of this plot done right is in Avatar: The Last Airbender, but I won't spoil the ending if you haven't seen it yet. Also, go watch that series if you haven't. Absolutely fantastic. Another example I like is in this commentary by Doug Walker (aka The Nostalgia Critic) and Rob Walker (his brother, who helps him write the scripts). They're talking about the Care Bears movies which, although obviously silly and made for little kids, actually stick to the moral they were trying to teach. If you're so inclined you can see that by skipping to 6:50 here www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYntuu… (warning, there is strong language in that clip, in case that bothers you) and that pretty much sums up why the ending of DoD rubbed me the wrong way.

I didn't completely hate the book. It was pretty good till about 3/4 of the way in. I would have given it 3 or 4 stars if not for the ending. In my opinion, the ending was SO BAD it took away from all other good parts of the story.
Also yes Avatar the Last Airbender is my favourite series ever!!! Not that big of a fan of Legend of Korra though. It's just okay.
Here's the review I wrote on GoodReads:
"First off let me say this was my favourite book series ever. But I've noticed Tui's writing is getting sloppier, more ridiculous. More outlandish. She's taken it to a whole new level. So I mentioned in my review of Darkstalker that it felt to me like dragons got more uncivilized as the future progressed. Last I checked, Seawings didn't eat fruit in the first series. They didn't own things like COUCHES. They acted more like dragons, true to their nature, treasure-loving, meat-eating beasts with a very savage hierarchy where they killed each other to be queen. Then fruit entered the picture in Darkstalker, which I thought was unique to Rainwings only. As Tui continues writing, with every book, I notice her both her characters and tribes get less unique and start becoming exactly like each other almost. Tell me, why are there no mention of civilized things like plates and couches in the first dragonet series, but suddenly all these things exist thousands upon thousands of years ago when Darkstalker lived? It feels less like ancient history and looks more like something from the future, to be honest. In my opinion, in Darkstalker, that's when Tui really started going off course. And this book is basically a wild goose chase off of that one, going down paths it never should have gone. It's totally unrecognizable from the first series.
Flaw 1.
The characters slowly sound more and more like each other. Did you notice in this book, Qibli, Turtle, and Kinkajou all kind of sound the same? Just the way they talk. So many "totally's" thrown in and "awesomes" and "epic." And just weird outlandish things that really don't sound like the character. I kind of just feel like the author turned every single character into a mini Kinkajou. Or rather, what a kinkajou would act like if she were a sandwing, or a nightwing, or a seawing. Do they literally all have to sound like the same voice? I see more the author talking through her characters, than the characters themselves. It felt weird and cheesy to me and made me cringe, how many times I thought "Is it Qibli talking, or Kinkajou? I can't tell cause they literally sound the same and I'd never know the difference unless the author told me."
Flaw 2. Writing style is getting sloppy. I feel like the author is trying way too hard to be funny and too goofy with her readers and has lost the ability to write beautiful stories with poignant storytelling. I thought she was an amazing writer when I first read the first stories. Why? She was able to describe so much with so little, and I could imagine the story so vividly. Starting in Darkstalker and ending in Darkness of Dragons however, I feel as if she kind of just threw her writing ability out the window in an effort to run a little comedy show here..
Flaw 3. Her theme/morals. What is this about good vs evil? What would Tui define as good? It kind of sounds like her version of "good" is helping other dragons. And she so grandly built up this theme to teach us that free will is something good, something that every dragon deserves, no matter how evil they are. We see that Qibli comes to this realization after considering making his mother like him if he were an animus. We see it when Darkstalker made Vulture turn into a dragon that had the mind of a dragonet. We saw how wrong that made Qibli felt. And yet, ironically, they do the exact same they were so against to Darkstalker. Against his will, they turn him into someone completely different. So unrecognizable he isn't even him anymore. Perhaps this is what disturbed me the most about this story. And you know, maybe I would have accepted that in the end eventually, if they had at least gave him a "start over" future. Like maybe he could "start over" as a dragonet with zero powers, but he would still be fully himself otherwise. He may not have his memories, but at least he would still have his icewing heritage? I'm sorry but how cruel can you be. How did it make Hailstorm feel, to be a completely different dragon he couldn't even relate to when he became himself again? And you know, Tui spends all this time showing us that doing this to dragons is EVIL. It's WRONG AND TWISTED AND DISTURBING. And then what does Tui do? Her characters are heroes DOING THE EXACT SAME THING TUI SAID WAS EVIL THROUGHOUT THE SERIES JUST because they do it to an evil villain like Darkstalker. Everyone agreed that Darkstalker was evil. Why? Not because he didn't have good intentions, but because he kept forcing dragons to go against their will to get the future he wanted. And in the end, that is EXACTLY what Moonwatcher, Kinkajou, and Foeslayer did. They turned Darkstalker into a completely different dragon against his will to get the future THEY wanted.
In the end all I can think is that the heroes are literally just like Darkstalker and I've lost pretty much all my respect for them. I would have rather had Darkstalker die. Or that he went to sleep forever. Or better yet-went back in time to start over with his family without his powers. Maybe him and Clearsight could have had a future. That never felt finished to me. Really? You can't just fix everything by erasing someone's memories. Is that what the author thinks? That if you erase someone's memories, everything is solved and magically fixed? It's disturbing. It's DISGUSTING. The worst thing you can do to someone is take away their memories. You're better off killing them in my opinion. Personally I'd rather die than have someone remove all my memories from me. You know why? Because you mark someone's life an absolute waste. Every single moment of it. Worthless. A total waste. Whether or not that person values it, you decide since you're god you have the ability to take away their memories. I am very disturbed with the author for thinking this is the greatest solution she could have taken for dealing with Darkstalker. Here's what I was HOPING would happen:
Foeslayer comes back. Since Foeslayer disappearing, that's when Darkstalker's rage and vengeance really took a turn for the worst in the book Darkstalker. Therefore I was hoping when his mother came back, his rage and longing would be quelled. That he'd take one glance at his mother, and his heart would be LIKE a dragonet again. That he'd be willing to give up anything for her because once she disappeared from his life, that's when he REALLY lost it. It's like this I imagine: Humans go around destroying things and in pain and longing in their hearts that make us lose our minds and do terrible things to each other. I imagine Jesus's coming, where Jesus's very presence is enough to stop the insanity. That because He is what we're all longing for secretly, that everyone would just stop and their heart would be quieted as they looked in awe and with tears in their eyes at him. That's kind of what I was hoping for, for Foeslayer to show up and Darkstalker to instantly freeze. All thoughts of conquer gone. All thoughts of everything that went wrong...this is a gift from the past. He should have cherished it. I was appalled he went right back to scheming not even five minutes after his mother showed up. Is that how YOU would react if one of the people you loved most in your life you thought died suddenly appeared to come back to life? Seriously? I wanted his inner anger to quiet until it was almost nonexistent, so entranced with his mother, she was his world. I wanted her to reach out a talon and touch his face, still loving him, despite everything he's done. Why would you ever want to completely change your son, even to half rainwing? Disgusting! I thought she would love him more than that, value him more than that! If she really wanted a completely new dragon, she could have just gone and gotten married with someone else and made a new baby dragonet. It's disturbing that she was willing to erase every aspect of Arctic from her son. Take away his icewing heritage and give him a random rainwing one instead. That's just wrong. This ending made me give this 1 star, and I probably otherwise would have given it 4, or at the very least, 3. But that ending? It was so awful and so wrong and SO DISTURBING that right now I kind of just never want to pick up another one of Tui's future books ever again. This story is not what it used to be. I can't even recognize this crazy world she's building anymore.
Flaw 4. The "perfect" ending. NOTHING IS PERFECT. You CANNOT JUST FIX AN ENDING BY TYING UP ALL THESE LOOPHOLES AND LOOSE ENDS TO MAKE THAT HAPPILY EVER AFTER FEELING. I say a good story always has some mystery left over. I HATE stories that try to tie up all the loose ends, when there are way too many loose ends to tie up! That epilogue was WAY longer than it should have been and WAY too perfect. It was so perfect it was unbelievable. I wrote a book once and tried to do that in my epilogue. My editor completely cut it out, saying it was a terrible way to write. After further reflection I realized he was right. Nobody likes a story that is tied up with a little bow so that it's no longer relatable. Life isn't like that. It's not perfect. It's not a happy ending for EVERYONE.
Flaw 5. I felt like the author was inconsistent and kept forgetting things. I also felt like that when you basically make someone play god, and throw out any limitations or rules for animus's, you kind of just screw yourself and your story over forever. I don't think the Wings of Fire series will ever recover from that. You cannot make a story or any possible way to bring down a "God" unless that "God" decides that he doesn't want to be God anymore. But as you can see...he still very much wanted to be God, even experiencing how lonely and disturbing and awful it was.
Flaw 6. Winter. Winter got thrown out the window like he's less valuable and less of a dragon than everyone else just because he doesn't see the world like everyone else does. You know what? I liked Winter's book. I liked being in Winter's mind. I liked feeling his feelings. He felt relatable. He felt like a person. And Qibli is maybe the only dragon in the story who still thinks of Winter as a valuable dragon. But I feel like the author decided she had zero respect for her character anymore and threw him under the bus. Not only did Winter give up his entire tribe to be with his friends, he came to some pretty groundbreaking realizations in his book about the meaning and value of friendship and how much affection he had for his friends after all. And you know what? None of them except Qibli can return the favour. I mean they can't even trust him to tell him what happened to Darkstalker!! Doesn't he deserve to know that much?! Oh but NO he doesn't get to know the truth JUST BECAUSE he might not agree with it? Well geez Tui, he's not the only one! Tui, are you honestly telling me that just because someone disagrees with you on something, they don't have any right to know about something they were completely involved in earlier? That's cold. That's really cold. And that little thing Kinkajou said to Winter about Moon. "It might be too late." And him agreeing with her as if it was just some little thing he could get over. What a nice way to conveniently stick Moon and Qibli together while blaming the result on Winter. So what if Winter gets angry sometimes? Don't we all? No offense but when Winter was screaming at Moon for loving Darkstalker, I totally sympathized with him. Excuse me moon, but Darkstalker put a spell on ME, YOUR FRIEND. And YOU STILL TRUST HIM?! That's kind of like backstabbing someone. Think of it this way: one of your friends that you've been friends far longer but lately you're crushing on this new kid. And this new kid is bullying your best friend behind your back, and he comes up and tells you that and instead of siding with your best friend you kind of just shrug him off and say things like "Well I still like him. And I still trust him." What a way to completely disregard your friends feelings and worth. I'd be yelling at Moon too if the same thing had happened to me! Moon is kind of a piece of....nevermind.
Flaw 7. What is WITH all the shipping in this book?! My goodness! How about ONE ship? One love circle is fine I guess. It's typical. But how many do we have in here? We've got Turtle and Kinkajou, which seems so random. I'm sorry but that came out of nowhere in the last book. I'd never seen any chemistry between them in the previous book until we were in Turtle's mind. In fact, Turtle and Peril had more chemistry between them than those two ever did, even though those two would never work. Even those two should have been more likely to end up with each other! Kinkajou and Turtle? Sorry but I can't see it, it's just too random and weird. Qibli and Moon is fine I guess. I have nothing against it, at LEAST we knew from the beginning that Qibli already liked her so it wasn't sprung on us or anything like that. And I feel like Moon should have had better reasons for choosing Qibli over Winter just because, as Kinkajou said "it's too late. You yelled at her." It's nice to know someone chooses you over someone else because the other person tends to express their feelings and frustrations pretty well. Isn't there more to Winter than that Moon? Come on. I admit I like Qibli better too, but for entirely different reasons. Okay and then Anemone and Tamarin? *Throws book down* I'm done. DONE. Author can't stop shipping. It's like I'm reading a fanfic and not the real thing! Why Anemone and Tamarin? Just cause it's gay? ZERO chemistry between those two throughout any other book but suddenly, SUDDENLY. And then there's also Peril and Clay. Look...it still hurts Clay to touch her. Is he actually in love with her? I know he never says he is but I wonder if the author is going in that direction. Peril should have kept the spell that made her normal. Now she gets to touch Clay and know she's always causing him pain.
Flaw 8. Contradictions. Oh yeah and that part where they turned Anemone "good" by putting spells on her. I'm sorry but I'm losing respect for the author's ideals and messages. You lost me. What the crap do you want me to believe? Personally I think a person's choices should be able to show something of their character, but the author thinks they can fix all this crap with magic, a quick fix. I'm starting to think Peril was the only one who realized there's no such thing as a magical "quick fix" and that it all has consequences, but apparently everyone else thinks you can make each other GOOD by putting spells on each other, despite what Qibli said earlier to Darkstalker that his CHOICES are what made him bad, NOT his magic. And yet we're still to believe animus's lose their soul because they use too much magic? Sorry I thought we discovered that it was their CHOICES that make them bad, not their magic. Whatever Tui, I don't even know what I'm supposed to take away from this anymore.
Flaw 9. The name change. THE NAME CHANGE. Does anything else even need to be said? Foeslayer to Hope? Darkstalker to Peacemaker? Insert cheesy much. Cute, liberal names, sunshine and rainbows Tui, I'm not falling for it. Your characters are now completely unrelatable and unrecognizable to me.
Flaw 10. The Lost Continent/Jerboa. So random. Kind of just slapped in there in the ending with nothing leading up to it. The Lost Continent is a great idea but the way it was introduced/executed was too sloppy and rushed."

I got confused on Flaw 8 about that too; animus magic. Is it using animus magic in any kind of way that makes you insane, that you actually lose some of your soul until you eventually no longer have one? Or if you only use it to kill and harm others does it take away from your soul? I feel like as long as the magic was used for good deeds it doesn't damage/take pieces of your soul. Idk if I'm right about it, but I like to think of it as so cannonly. I also enjoyed your review.

Idk... I'm just really confused about animuses right now. I think there's a reason why Tui says she's taking a break from them in this new series

Hehe, well I don't think I disliked it quite that much. I just felt Tui was probably rushed by her publishers and didn't have time to iron things out, so it ended up kind of sloppy. It almost seemed to me that she was going for a different ending and then decided to change it for whatever reason. Like she wanted to make Darkstalker choose to become a dragonet of his own free will (which in my opinion would have solved 99.9% of that book's problems) but the publishers were like "No, no, he's the bad guy! You can't redeem him! The heroes have to defeat him!!" That's why I tried to work in a fanfiction that could serve as a sequel to what she wrote and address the things wrong with it, rather than completely rewriting what we've already been given. In the end I can't be too angry, partly because I've been in the Warriors fandom for years and know what reeeeaaaalllly sloppy plots and inconsistent characters look like, and partly because it led to me getting the idea for my fan fiction, which has drawn in a lot of people to my DA.
