Okay wow. What an epilogue. WHAT an epilogue. Setting aside for now the heavy-handed teaser for the next arc, there's so much I love about this ending.

Winter not only finding peace far away from his toxic family but exploring his own interests and hobbies and actively, voluntarily keeping in touch with all of his friends!! (His new family--!! AUGHH he actually said it!! 😭) I wish we'd actually got the chance to see him interact with Smolder and Flower, but still.

Turtle bonding with his mom like he always dreamed, getting back in touch with his creative side with the love and support of his friends and peers, and most importantly making things right with Anemone and being a proper presence in her life as a brother, friend, and role model!!

ANEMONE HAVING A SHY LESBIAN CRUSH ON MY GIRL TAMARIN???

Kinkajou being the single most level-headed and emotionally mature dragon on the entire continent, which is hilarious in its own way but also holy cow I am so proud of her!!

Peril THRIVING as a Normal Teen Girl, making friends and flirting with her bf and getting excited about schoolwork!!

The NightWing and RainWing tribes happily cohabitating again under Queen Glory's protection!! (Peacemaker being half RainWing is such a powerful image, what a sweet ending for him, even if it broke my heart a little when he was afraid of Clearsight's memory vanishing with him)

Squid-brain mentioned!! Still doing a great job as head of the Talons of Peace, building settlements and fostering cooperation between tribes!!

Even Flame getting help from actual healers, and hopefully some counselling to go with it!!

Maaaaan what a series. I could (and may yet) list off several things I didn't like so much, but the truth remains that these books feel like something I would have written myself. Someone took all my favorite themes and archetypes and imagery and slapped them on an entire bustling world full of colorful anthropomorphized dragons, and it feels like a gift to me specifically.

#Tyto reads WoF #all that said.......... I dunno if I feel like reading the next arc LOL #it's on a separate continent... after a massive time skip? if I understood correctly??#meaning all of the characters and relationships and probably a lot of the worldbuilding I've fallen in love with won't be relevant anymore #like. the Jade Mountain arc focused on new characters too but the core cast from the first arc were still THERE. they were INVOLVED.#and the state of the world was still familiar because only six months had passed #so yeah idk I'm just not feeling it currently.#it looks like a lot of the new tribes are bug/fairy dragons which is fine but not really my thing either.#siggghhhh idk! unless someone wants to convince me otherwise I might at least wait a while.#just gonna let the first two arcs warm my heart for now <3
