Review

Graphic novel version of Book One of the popular "Wings of Fire" series won't disappoint readers of the novels. It follows the story of Book One, explaining the prophecy that brings the five dragonets together with rich color and lush detail. The book is visually stunning, but for those who have not read the series, there is not quite enough distinction between all of the dragons, not just the dragonets, but the other characters as well, so readers have to pay close attention to names and roles. This book will be on constant loan and it is easy to see why a GN was created. True to the original series, this book ends on a major cliffhanger and readers will clamor for Book 2, which is forthcoming.

Overall Book Score: good
