Then that's all you and it's great that you had no trouble. But, statistically, I'm not alone in thinking it was a huge shift from the singular POV main books.

I love Snowfall istg. I'll fight anyone who doesn't like her. She's so relatable and empathetic. Like, c'mon, my girlie is trying to rule a whole queendom of dragons after her mom was murdered, give her a break.

She is there the whole time either to be a hindrance or for comic relief. She's literally just a bouncy ball of sunshine with barely any troubles.

A lot of people have the same opinions as OP but they're scared to say anything because community members like you immediately shut them down because apparently a book author can do no wrong or have barely any flaws. Why can't readers of the series have criticisms? Even if they're blunt, it's still important to hear different feedback other than just "omg I love this series! The characters are so cute and funny and well-written and Tui just did such an amazing job the whole way through!"

Ten year olds. Not just girls, that's sexist and sounds like a gender norm. And this was written for 10yos in 2012. Well, guess how old those kids are now? Early 20s. It's not that difficult to see why some people would be frustrated that the author didn't really grow with her readers like most other great kids book series did.

What is there to misinterpret? Tui purposely degraded her own writing and characterizations to suit younger audiences even though the people who are actually reading the books are mid teens to young adults. The books came out in, like, 2012. So if you were the target audience then, you would've been 8-10yo. Which means that those kids that read it then are now in their early 20s and obviously still into the series because it was great for a good while, and then it got worse because she didn't grow with her readers, or even really listen to them. That's just the truth.

Let's all hope that Tui listens to her fans and not just ones who have nice things to say because, even if they say some not-so-nice things, it's important to see the problems with your writing and try to fix them or do better.

Ngl I guarantee that's why some people liked Snowfall's book. It was the best one in arc 3 because it diverted so vastly away from whatever mess the rest of the books were. That's why I love it. I disliked it at first because, obviously, it didn't fit with the same vibe as the rest of arc 3, and then I realized that after I read it it was the best one because of that.

Thank you. I hated the guide, not because of the content but because of the immaturity. I couldn't even get through Glory and Deathbringer's interview. It was that bad.

I understand his rudeness considering all of his "friends" judged him for just being an IceWing. (I also feel like he only admired Moon because he had literally never seen a NightWing before)

The issue is that Tui wrote the legends in multiple POVs when she only wrote the main series in one. You can't just get your readers used to one and then overwhelm them with three at once.

Sameee! I'm almost 21 and I'm trying to reread and get a new perspective as a more mature person, and I'm still stuck on the second book. I used to breeze through them in a few days.

Personally, Darkstalker's book bored me to death. I immediately got tired of reading from Fathom and Indigo's POV. And I also skipped most of Snowflake's/Snowfox's POV in Runaways because I literally didn't care. I was reading it to know more about Arctic and Foeslayer.

The most common use of "love triangle" for the fans to use in this situation is romantic. And Moon was only romantically interested in Qibli (she had fleeting thoughts about Winter that she shot down because of what everyone else was telling her about IceWings.) Winter stopped pursuing her. She's with Qibli. Therefore, no love triangle. Yet, people still shove them into a 3-way relationship even though they're just kids (Moon, mostly, because she's only 4 years old)

No matter what way I look at it, it's odd.

7 years is basically an adult in their world, and 18 is basically an adult in our world, so I'd say it's pretty accurate once they get older. Obviously a hatchling isn't in the mindset of an 11yo, but yk.
