Qibli the Sandwing
[Image Description: A digital drawing depicting Qibli from Wings of Fire. He is small wiry with a sail that flows downward to the side like it is hair, and a zig zag scar on his nose bridge. He is a dandelion yellow, with an off-white under belly that starts at his chin. Freckles are featured all over his body on his face, legs and tail. He also has tear duct markings that are similar to a cheetah. His sail and rattle is colored brown, with his eyes and tail barb being colored an even darker brown. He has orange yellow on his paws, snout, as a dorsal stripe marking and on the arms and fingers of his wings. The webs of his wings are a duller orange color. His horns and claws are an off-white that is lighter than his underbelly. He is standing with a grin on his face, with one eye winking, and an arm lifted to show the inner side of his claw, as though he is accentuating himself. In a second image, he is wearing a cowboy hat with his horns poking out that has a piece of sky fire embedded in, a neckerchief and a golden earring with a teardrop on his left ear. /.End ID]

You know, even though I am sad that animus magic isn’t around anymore, I honestly wouldn’t have hated if this had been the actual reason it disappeared. There’s something poetic about the universe keeping a cosmic balance. Nothing comes for free. There is always a price to pay and the price of animus magic is the warping and devouring of the soul of those who use it and once that balance was disrupted it fades away. Animus magic kind of started off as this mysterious/sinister power and while I do like that it is played off as just another inheritable trait I also think it should be remain weird and mysterious and sinister.

part 2 of giving the hive ladies identities: now with more EVIL
Lady Bloodworm- She is widely considered to be the worst hive ruler of all time, possibly worse than Wasp herself. Bloodworm is a menace to society and to the citizens of her own hive. Her hive has the infamous one-per-family rule where each family must sacrifice a member to work on Bloodworm’s pet projects around the hive. She was chosen to be a hive ruler because of her brutality and subsequent usefulness in the war. Like her namesake, she has copper grills that make her breath reek of blood. 
Lady Mantis II- As the newest member of the hive rulers, Lady Mantis the Second has a lot of bright ideas about how to improve her hive. Unluckily for her, these 'bright ideas' may be rebellious enough to get her killed one day. The fate of this young leader will be determined in how well she can disguise her hive improvement plans as as routine maintenance… if she succeeds, maybe Mantis Hive will be the first hive to have city-wide running water, and other such pipe dreams.
Lady Cicada- Because of her relation to her sister (Queen Wasp) Cicada had first choice when choosing herself a hive. She chose a location as far away from the Queen as she could. She dislikes Wasp's regime if only because if means more responsibility for her. She used to be able to get away with hoarding art, lounging around, and generally making the royal family disappointed with her, but now she has to like... do stuff. Like finances. And infrastructure. Boring stuff. Stuff that she usually offloads onto a random intern or assistant, leading to a very eclectic hive.

Ranking all Wof Cover (except winglets and graphic novels) because I’m bored :p (Some spoilers!)
#1: The Dragonet Prophecy. Personally, I think it’s cool, although I think it could have a little more action on it. In the drafts, it was gonna have Queen Scarlet’s arena, which I think would’ve been a cool edition to the cover, but sadly they removed it. 7/10
#2: The Lost Heir. Ok this one is awesome. It really shows Tsunami’s personality in her pose and it has so much action yet not to much. But they did forget to put the royal markings on her wings, which kinda makes her seem a little less important if you’re just looking at the cover. Originally it was gonna be called “The Last Heir” which sounds epic, but then again Anemone is in the book, so it wouldn’t make sense. 9.5/10
#3: The Hidden Kingdom. One of the coolest covers, I’m a sucker for the wings contrasting with the background (which is a reason I love The Dangerous Gift) but to be honest, Glory just kinda doesn’t stand out. Even with Tsunami being blue on blue, she stands out while Glory just… doesn’t. I think it would be cool if we saw her using venom, and if you say “But she doesn’t use venom in the Rainforest in the book!” Boy are you gonna do a flip when you see The Lost Continent. 5/10.
#4: The Dark Secret: Honestly… just kinda… meh. I mean sure Starflight’s pose is cool, as it shows how the Nightwings are supposedly these evil mind reading future seeing beings that are going to rule the world, but it’s not really as cool as Tsunami’s or Clay’s. If anything I think the background makes up for it. The blue cloudy sky contrasting with the dimly red lit stone just catches my eyes immediately. 5/10.
#5: The Brightest Night: I love this cover. Mainly because I love the way Sunny is portrayed on it as she is a hybrid but also I love the three moons in the background and the Sand Kingdom. Sunny’s golden yellow on the black night in the back is just perfection to my eyes. 10/10.
#6: Moon Rising: I adore this cover. And not because Turtle is on the back but that’s a reason I love it as well. Moon having that green fade on her wings is just really cool imo, and this is one of the covers that actually takes place in the book. I think it would be a little bit better if MoonWATCHER was look in the direction of the MOONS, but other than that I love this cover. 9/10.
#7: Winter Turning: The draft for this wasn’t going to have purple on it, and to be honest, I’m glad they added that. The purple really brings out Winter and the Ice Kingdom, and it really makes everything pop. 10/10.
#8: Escaping Peril: Ok so maybe I’m a sucker for red on blue but Peril’s cover is just, wow. Her being chased by Scarlet is awesome, but I’m a little sad it didn’t happen in the book. (I think? Haven’t read this in like a year) My only complaint is that it doesn’t look like the Sky Kingdom in the back. Like if I first saw this cover and didn’t read WOF, I would think they’re flying over human city’s. 7/10.
#9: Talons of Powers: Don’t be bias about this one because Turtle's in it, Don’t be bias about this one because Turtle’s in it, can you tell that this is my favorite cover? Other than the fact that Turtle’s on it, I love the fight between Turtle and Anemone on the cover, giving away a key point, but not too much spoilers. I also love all the action on the cover, with Turtle soaring out the water. But they did forget Anemone’s royal patterns, so it’s not perfect. 9.9/10
#10: Darkness of Dragons: Qibli’s yellow on the sunset background is just perfect, alongside the dark pieces of stone from the ancient Nightwing city. His pose really shows how Qibli is brave and daring, but they did forget his snout scar, which is like the one thing that makes Qibli, Qibli. 8/10.
#11: The Lost Continent: Blue’s, well blue is the perfect contrast to the orange Pantalan savanna and the tan hives. Now, most people don’t like this cover because, “Blue doesn’t get his wings in the book!” or, “Cricket described him as blue, but on the cover he’s purple and green!” And my response to these are, 1: Tui actually was going to make Blue have no wings on the cover, but she thought he looked more pretty with wings than without. And 2: I personally love purple and green blue, It makes him look more related to Admiral and it makes him less of an eyesore imo. (If you seen the book description version of him on the wiki, you know what I mean). 10/10.
#12: The Hive Queen: Again, even though it’s yellow on yellow, Cricket still manages to stand out. I think it’s because Cricket’s more yellow, while the hive is more orange. I think the lights and the.. hole dens? Really just make the background so visible but not the main focus. 10/10
#13: The Poison Jungle: How does Joy Ang manage to put the same colored character on the same colored background and still make them stand out? Magic. Anyways, Sundews pose and the Poison Jungle in the back just really shows how fierce she is. Her small gold scales make her pop from the background, and I think the light behind her is the key to not have her blend it. 10/10
#14: The Dangerous Gift: Like I said in THK, I love wings that stand out from the background, so this is one of my favorite covers. Snowfall flying with Lynx by the coast where the Silkwings would fly in gives away so much yet so little. Also I love Snowfalls pose, no reason why it just looks cool :). 10/10
#15: The Flames of Hope. Honestly…. This cover is the worst in the Lost Continent Arc. Honestly Lunas pose is cool, and I think it would look really awesome if it wasn’t for the lighting of the flamesilk. That kind of blends her into the background at makes it a little boring to look at. But I do have to say I love Sky with Wren on the back and even thought Sky is described as pale, I love a red Sky. 6/10.
#16: Darkstalker: Darkstalker in on his mewing streak on this cover 🤫🧏‍♂️👌. I love his black on red background, but it’s boring. There’s nothing going on in the back, and he’s just standing there doing nothing. 6/10.
#16: Dragonslayer: I don’t have much to say about this cover. It has so much action but so little at the same time. It catches my eye but at the same time it doesn’t. I’m honestly very meh about this cover. 5/10.

the first two books of arc 3 are really nostalgic to me, but i feel like the protagonists had solar masses of wasted potential...
blue, instead of genuinely liking and trusting the hivewings, could instead be in denial about pantalan society. he could be afraid of breaking rules not because he truly believes in them, but because he doesn't want to hurt dragons in the process. his worst fear is becoming like the hivewings, and that's why he won't fight back.
cricket could be worrying about being a burden to everybody, since katydid had to give so much up to hide her. cricket had a very sad and lonely life and she should have some trauma from it.. she and blue would have a sibling relationship instead of being lovers also
sundew could have been a pessimist, since every action she takes would be one step closer to fulfilling her purpose. she would be like clay in the sense that it's her destiny to be a killer, but sundew would have outwardly accepted it. in this scenario she wouldn't be dating willow, but instead have a forbidden romance with cricket.

Just some random thoughts on the 3rd Arc (Spoilers Below, Swearing)
Honestly, I think the 3rd Arc would have been better if it was a self-contained story.
No traveling to Pyrrhia, no characters from the 2nd or 1st Arc. Animus magic wouldn't be taken away (Boa might still have done that, but since we never travel back to Pyrrhia, we never know).
I mean, it feels like the main characters of the 1st and 2nd Arc had their time to shine, and with their addition to the 3rd Arc... I can't help but think that they take precious time away from the characters we're supposed to follow. Sure, it's nice to see them again, but personally, I'm just here for the Pantalan dragons.
There were so many things that were set up and NEVER resolved or utilized.
The Chrysalis? Just a couple chapters in a book, then NOTHING. Where's the big uprising? Where's the part where SilkWing slaves gain the courage to fight off their masters? "Oh, SilkWings are so helpless they need help from Pyrrhia dragons to save them!" I call bullshit.
Flamesilks in the cavern? Forgotten.
Queen Wasp? Surprise! She got kicked out of the big baddie role for fucking scavenger, and then she just got a slap on the wrist for all the shit she did. We don't even have the satisfaction of watching her be defeated, we were told. She was an amazing villain, and it's such a shame she was swept under the rug.
Don't get me started on scavengers suddenly becoming a big part of the story for... some reason? Honestly, they should have just stayed unintelligible rats, IMO. Humans are always a big part of basically every dragon book in existence, and it grinds my gears SO MUCH that WoF did the same. I'm here for the DRAGONS, I don't want to read about humans! I thought you were different 😩!
The ending of TFoH was so goddamn rushed, I kept looking at the pages, thinking, "What? That's the end of the book???? Where's the rest of it?"
It's just... the canon story is a clusterfuck. I love The Lost Continent, The Hive Queen, and The Poison Jungle (mostly), but the lackluster ending really soured my experience. I don't know if I could ever read it again because the ending is just so disappointing.
It's such a shame. Because I really do LOVE the dragons of Pantala. HiveWings, SilkWings, and LeafWings. The designs of Pantalan dragons are so interesting and fun! I can't help myself but keep drawing them. That won't ever change.
