It annoys me that The Poison Jungle got some bad reviews on Amazon JUST BECAUSE Sundew and Willow are girlfriends. There is NOTHING WRONG with that, people! KananXHera forever ❤️
In fact, that’s one of the only things I liked about how Tui T. Sutherland portrayed Sundew, because the community deserved an LGBTQ+ main POV and she fit the role well. LGBTQ+ ships and straight ships make no difference to me. Neither really affect me, and everybody should be like that. We’re all people here. Love whoever the heck you wanna love. Who’re we to judge?
I’m a heterosexual and I tolerate Sundew + Willow (I can’t hate a well-written relationship) and I agree-people should not behave like mini-Sundews be so judgemental …but please keep in mind that not every heterosexual person is homophobic (Myself included-I respect homosexual people 🙂 )
I completely one hundred percent agree with you. The people complaining about crying because of it, and that it’s confusing/it’s weird/it’s odd for dragons to be gay . . . some even complained that Willow was a flat character and only existed to get Sundew away from her male fiancé. I very much enjoyed Sundew and Willow’s relationship – Willow is one of my favorite characters – and love is love is love is love, and no matter what, we are deserving of respect and kindness.
Sorry if that got a bit rant-ish there <3
I completely agree, Turtle! I mean, just look at my thingy (I don’t know what it’s called..)! It says “Sunlow and Mothpool for Life”! I thought they were adorable together, and I think that their relationship was exactly what “Wing of Fire” needed to be “in with the times”, since LGBTQ+ relationships are just something that happening in our world today!
Agreed, I seriously don’t get their problem. Society is becoming more accepting and homophobia is simply illogical, I really don’t see how people would want to continue holding such toxic views. It was probably a single homophobe or something posting the reviews, like I’ve said I doubt a child would start crying over seeing two female dragons in love unless said parent pampered them to. Though I’m also pretty tired of some people screaming at people who simply don’t ship Sunlow for non-homophobic reasons, I feel that I should be able to go without being screeched at that I’m a homophobe for not shipping them (because that just happened today, hooray…the joys of being a multi-shipper). While I agree that the homophobic side is absolutely worse and that the reviews on Amazon are ridiculous, I feel that people on the other side of the spectrum are also rather extreme about this ship too
Yeah, there were some folks who didn’t like Sunlow or TPJ because they felt like Sunlow took over the plot/Sundew’s character was butchered because of Sunlow/Sunlow wasn’t developed enough and felt too rushed. Those are perfectly valid, non-homophobic criticisms of it, and the Sunlow stans who yell at these folks for being “homophobic” are just as bad as the homophobes.
That’s true, though. I love Sunlow even though I don’t like Sundew, because Sundew was always at her best with Willow, but I do think that Sunlow is part of the reason that Sundew didn’t get the proper character development that I was hoping for in her, because the romance took over so much of the story and made room for little else, if that makes sense (which in turn made me not like Sundew and there are so many reasons why TPJ was not at all the best WoF book).
I have not read Dragonslayer and probably never will, but from what I’ve heard, I do like Wren/Undauntable as a one-sided crush on Undauntable’s part. I’d prefer if they’d just remain friends or acquaintances.
I can respect why people wouldn’t read Dragonslayer, though outside of the fact that it’s human POVs instead of dragons, it’s an alright book.
Wrendauntable is interesting and likable as a one-sided crush on Undauntable’s side, I agree. I really hope that they remain just friends instead, especially since Wren displayed no interest to begin with and if I can’t have Wrenvy, then I’d rather see Wren remain single. I can’t really see her with anyone outside of Ivy ngl, it doesn’t help that she gives me aroace vibes as well
Wait. So it’s a fact, then, that Princess Snowfall is going to be the next book’s POV? It makes PERFECT SENSE, but I was really hoping for Swordtail, who I love, or even Luna…
I’m not the biggest fan of Luna because she’s kinda boring, but I still wouldn’t mind seeing things from her perspective, hence the “even” part. 😛
OMG, YOU’RE RIGHT – SNOWFALL IS QUEEN NOW, OOPS… I’D FORGOTTEN XD
I just don’t know/remember? much about Snowfall, so I’m kinda going into this next book with a nearly blank slate. Which… I’m honestly not that upset about, though… 😀

Yeah, that’s what I meant. Sorry, Loneheart. I didn’t mean to make you feel uncomfortable. :/
KananXHera forever ❤️<3
Your forgiven of course ❤️

Spotty is a bean.I completely one hundred percent agree with you.

Show off your true colors! 🏳️🌈It’s a “signature”, but I’ve noticed that people call it a “siggie”. 🙂
I know I'm awesome.Agreed, I seriously don’t get their problem.

Daffiolet thoYeah, there were some folks who didn’t like Sunlow or TPJ because they felt like Sunlow took over the plot/Sundew’s character was butchered because of Sunlow/Sunlow wasn’t developed enough and felt too rushed.

The future is broken.That’s true, though.

I know I'm awesome.Nobody:
Sundew: GET OFF OF MY BACK!!
Sᴏɴɢ Oғ Tʜᴇ Rɪsɪɴɢ SᴛᴀʀOkay, I think I’m going to start reading Wings of Fire.
John HancockYesssssss
Team Keefoster for the win!!!Yay! 😀
I must know:
Does anyone ship MoonXKinkajou? Or am I alone in this?
Yes! 😀 It’s not my otp (that would be Daffiolet), but I really like it ^w^
though I also ship Sorawatcher, Lunawatcher, Turtlewatcher, and TamajouDaffiolet thoI don’t mind it!
Proud Earthling and AllyOkay I’m dying of curiosity and I need to ask it, anyone who’s read Dragonslayer already do you also ship Daffodil x Violet or nah? 😛
Or at least Ivy x Violet, Ivy x Daffodil, Ivy x Daffodil x Violet, or Ivy x Wren I really like those tooDaffiolet thoI have not read Dragonslayer and probably never will, but from what I’ve heard, I do like Wren/Undauntable as a one-sided crush on Undauntable’s part. I’d prefer if they’d just remain friends or acquaintances.

It makes PERFECT SENSE, but I was really hoping for Swordtail, who I love, or even Luna…I know I'm awesome.She’s actually queen now, but yes ^w^
Personally I’m glad that it isn’t Swordtail or Luna, I don’t like either of them much lolDaffiolet thoI’m not the biggest fan of Luna because she’s kinda boring, but I still wouldn’t mind seeing things from her perspective, hence the “even” part. 😛OMG, YOU’RE RIGHT – SNOWFALL IS QUEEN NOW, OOPS… I’D FORGOTTEN XD
