Our Review

This graphic novel adaptation brings the seventh installment of the popular Wings of Fire series to life through dynamic artwork and fast-paced storytelling, focusing on Winter the IceWing's quest to find his runaway sister. Young readers who love dragon adventures will find themselves immersed in a world where royal expectations clash with personal loyalty, as Winter must choose between family duty and doing what's right. The visual format makes this complex fantasy world accessible to middle grade readers, with action sequences and emotional moments rendered in vivid detail that enhances the original novel's narrative.

What sets this apart is its exploration of redemption and second chances through Winter's perspective, a character struggling with disappointment and familial pressure. The graphic novel medium particularly shines during the aerial dragon flights and intense confrontations, making it ideal for reluctant readers or those transitioning from picture books to longer chapter books. Children who enjoy character-driven stories about friendship, loyalty, and self-discovery will find Winter's journey both exciting and emotionally resonant, with artwork that captures the frosty beauty of the IceWing kingdom and the warmth of unexpected alliances.
