Re: Wings of Fire - Tui Sutherland

Seconding this one and here's a little more info!

Each five books forms its own arc:
* 1-5, the dragonet prophecy
* 6-10, the jade mountain prophecy
* 11-15, the lost continent prophecy

There are also some additional side novels.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy arc is my favorite, because it deals with a lot of dark themes (like mind control, absolute power corrupts absolutely, genocide, complicated feelings about being raised more as a weapon than as a person/dragon) and has some great characters! My requests are focused on this arc.

Additional content warnings to add to those provided above: child abuse, child neglect (these are for dragon children, not human), mind control, attempted genocide, magically changing people's (dragons') emotions, something that looks very much like enslavement of a dragon race though it's never directly called that.

For all the warnings, keep in mind these are middle grade books targeted at 8-12yo readers so it's kind of that genre of books where adults understand how messed up some content is while it goes over kids' heads.
