The New York Times and USA Today bestselling series soars to even greater heights with a new prophecy and five new dragonets ready to claim their destiny!

Peril has been loyal to Queen Scarlet, who used her fatal firescales to kill countless dragons in the SkyWing arena. Now, Peril is loyal to Clay, the only dragonet who has ever been her friend. So when Scarlet threatens Jade Mountain Academy, Peril sets off to find her former queen, stop her, and save the day, no matter what it takes.There's just one problem: a strangely persistent SeaWing, Turtle, insists on coming along, too. Turtle is worried about his friends, who left to search for Scarlet and haven't returned. Peril is worried that she might accidentally burn Turtle -- or burn him on purpose, for being so annoying -- and frustrated that she keeps saying and doing the wrong things. She can't escape her firescales, and she can't escape her reputation as the deadliest dragon in Pyrrhia.So when she's offered a chance to trade everything for a new life, Peril has to decide who she's really loyal to . . . and whether her own scales might actually be worth saving.

I am back to reading another Wings of Fire book! This one is called Escaping Peril, and it is all about Peril, a Skywing with the firescales. And it is about Peril trying to find the ex-queen Scarlet. There is some gore in the book but it is only in some small parts. And war is violent and vicious and pretty terrible, always, so why hide it? I loved reading Escaping Peril (Book Eight of the Wings of Fire series) by Tui Sutherland, and recommend it to all little bunnies who like dragons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peril's Character Lit Up This Book!
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2016
Verified Purchase
Thoughts: I am literally blown away by this book. Sutherland has really outdone herself - in fact, I feel like her books only continue to improve. That's not to say that I didn't have a few issues with this book - but those were very minimal and hardly took away from the story.
The plot was the only issue I had, actually. It felt like Sutherland wrote this whole book, and then decided that the ending wasn't memorable enough so she added in half of the next book to leave us on a cliffhanger (it worked). This, I found, was very frustrating, despite the added tension and excitement. Other than that, this book was amazing! I loved every one of the characters and how they've evolved over this series, although I would've liked to see some more of Winter, Kinkajou, and Qibli, some of my favorite characters. Peril's character was spot-on - the entire time, you could really feel her emotions. Although I originally wasn't too excited about the prospect of a book dedicated to Peril, I grew to love her character and was rooting for her by the end of the book. I loved the twist, too, and how it tied in with the brilliant prologue. The writing didn't stray far from its normal humor, suspense, and adventure - honestly, I think that the Wings of Fire series is the best series for middle grade readers. And although this book took a bit of a dark turn at the end, I'll be eagerly awaiting the next installment in this series.

Peril is a great dragon, and this book clearly shows that, as while there are a lot of funny jokes, there are also some truly powerful scenes. Peril does obsess over Clay and her firescales in parts, but as the book goes on you start to understand why. This is a book you NEED to read, although in some parts it can be sad and/or make you angry. It's super well written and a must-read.

The book is very awesome and I thought that Peril was actually loyal to Scarlet again! If you come across this book, then first read 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ,7th book first. Otherwise you will not understand. I love the way it is written. Boy, Ex Queen Scarlet does have a dangerous dragon on her side. And Peril ao finds her father. (Who is quite different from her) Anyway, the book is GREAT AND REMARKABLE!!!
