WOF NERD REACTS TO THE DANGEROUS GIFT! 

One thing this book made me happy about: ice cream exists in the dragon world.

2:12 The word "heck" is also said sometimes, which implies the existence of a dragon afterlife of torment. Jambu also says at one point that he's "really freaking cold" which implies the existence of human curse words being used by dragons. In conclusion: Bumblebee learns curse words from Sundew.

Slightly salty you didn't mention my gal OPAL. Even after death, my girl still took the time out of her day to educate baby queens.

I can’t decide what drawings I enjoyed seeing the most in this. Grumpy Snowfall, cute Mink, screaming Bumblebee, dragonet-sitting Lady Scarab, crying Blue, anime Winter, or the two Jerboas.

What about the hilarious part where Snowfall yells at Moon telepathically

I agree, we need a Jerboa Winglet. IMMEDIATELY!!

"not every dragon needs a love interest" *Imedietly ships snowfall and sky*

Therapist: *Anime Winter isn’t real. He can’t hurt you.* Anime Winter: 3:54

One thing I've always loved about WoF's worldbuilding is that it allows itself to have a flawed society. - The rain kingdom is Negligent and careless with no care for organisation or purpose. - The sand kingdom is chaotic and poverty stricken due to the constant scrambles for power. - The sky kingdom is violence obsessed consistently distancing the audience from those they're executing and with a leader who's power is so engrained in it. They seem untouchable. - and the ice kingdom is hypercompetetive with no room for an ounce of failure. My problem with how WoF is going: it keeps getting rid of all of those things. It seems that a society's fundamental flaws are unable to escape a single good egg. This didn't start with Snowfall, it started with Glory, then Thorn and then Ruby. all of whom have at least one moment where a bystander looks in awe at how great a queen they are. Because as royalty. Either both she and her kingdom are both perfect or they are both terrible. So if you want a great queen her kingdom cannot be flawed

What I liked: Snowfall being possibly aromantic. She stated something negative about love while talking to Crystal and someone said Tui said she won't be getting a love interest. (To all you Skyfall shippers, she said she liked Sky because he reminded her of Mink, so it's a more "you remind me of my sibling i will be like a big sister to you" relationship.) The peek into the little civilizations outside the kingdoms. I thought it was neat. Jerboa's backstory. I loved it, it was horrifying, and I need more of it. The psychological horror was REAL. What I didn't like: The destruction of the wall and gift of order. She didn't talk over her decision with anyone at all, and I think that's kind of dumb. The ice wall and gift of order was what made the IceWings unique, and it sucks that it's all just gone in a few pages. HUMANS. I came to read a dragon book about dragon things, not humans! Dragonslayer should've been its own thing. Wren honestly makes me mad because she's such a Mary Sue to the point where when she should be likable, I absolutely hate her. It baffles me how the humans and Sky were just immediately accepted after a few moments of "wAiT tHeY cAn sPeAk dRaGoN?" I don't know what I expected, but it certainly wasn't "yes we trust you to go on this dangerous mission despite us knowingly killing hundreds of you and you killing a Queen and starting a war." Like. . . there was no conflict between them? That's extremely hard to believe. I'm ranting but I just really hate how Tui shoved humans in the book. Otherwise everything else was pretty good.

Are we going to talk about how baby dragons went from being a bit taller than humans to able to sit and curl up on one's shoulder? Tui I love your books but please remember how you set up proportions for things this isn't the first time and its makes things confusing.

3:38 I think Tui's reason for Crystal's existence was to have a physical focal point for Snowfall's self-doubt and paranoia. The anticlimactic resolution of that plot line sort of makes sense in this context; it's basically a message to Snowfall to chill out, and she sort of does. At the very least, her paranioa loses a bit of its intensity and direction after that encounter.

Mini personal rant bc we’re on the subject of book 14 I kinda wish the scavengers didn’t exist. Dragonslayer was great and all, but why can’t the scavengers and dragons be two seperate species? It’s kinda dumb to me. We finally get ONE dragon series where humans don’t control or ride the dragons and Tui ruined it. I was kind of hoping that Dragonslayer would be a one time thing, but no, they just had to bring back the scavengers and make up with the dragons. Not to mention that would be really stupid and pretty much impossible, not only impossible to talk to and understand the dragon but also to convince them all to stop eating scavengers, there are some pretty stubborn and/or fucked up dragons. Anyways, thank you for coming to my Ted talk, I don’t like the scavengers :))

Sheepie,you say nerd like it’s a bad thing Not me over here trying to justify myself-

In this book, I feel like the main character’s personality changed the most than all the other books. Winter changed as well, but it was over the whole of arc 2

In my opinion, this book is a lot slower than the other ones and while it is a filler, it was kind of letting the Pantalan Dragons catch their breath after how action-packed the past few books were for them. I liked it a lot because it gave a lot of needed information and was basically preparation for the next book which must be full of action as it is the end of this arc. Jerboas story was intense and I am glad it was in here. This book wasn’t only on Snowfall which was interesting but I liked how each memory or each event the ring showed her, made her realize that there is a lot at stake if the Ice-Wings stayed isolated. And now the scavenger’s are getting a bigger role. Vole is a very suspicious character.

Ok, ok guys, we all know we’ll never have the patience to wait 2 more months, so tell AL YOUR FRIENDS to sub to sheepie, and thank you

I guess I’m making a thousand new accounts just so I can see the premiere sooner Edit: I lied. Didn’t make any.

Snowfall made a lot of big decisions regarding the gifts in the end, but I think she made the right choice. While they did make the Icewings more unique, there's a good chance for them to come up with a new system that isn't stuck up like the gift of order. I also did enjoy the book even if it was filler. Tui always struggles with the 4th book in an arc due to what needs to happen, so making it go to Snowfall's POV to take care of the refugees I think was a great idea. Leaves the best (being what may happen in Pantala) for last!

This is all my opinion, I respect everyone else’s opinion and your free to disagree :) Though I did find this book as filler, it really made me appreciate Snowfall more. I think the book was just here so we could get some Snowfall content. I wish there was more going on in the book besides Snowfall, but I wouldn’t say it was awful. I enjoyed her character and I related to her a lot with her anxiety and stuff. I wish Crystal could have been used more in this book, but at the same time it helped Snowfall understand that there is more to life than just ruling over a kingdom and having a high status, as she was raised with those morals. I think Crystal was there to give Snowfall the realization that if her sister can move on with life and be happy without her status and the rings, than maybe Snowfall could as well. So I agree on you with the filler part, but just because it was a filler doe isn’t mean it wasint good. So I agree with a lot in this video. Overall, I feel like this was a nice book to read and even though I wish the plot was better, I don’t blame Tui. I mean, what else would you put in this blank spot? You can’t really time skip where the dragons are going to war and stuff, something has to fill it in. Maybe Tui just found it hard to fill in those gaps and make it to the climax and I don’t blame her. As a writer myself, it’s hard to fill those gaps, especially if you have a dead line and need to come up with something. I think Snowfall was there to give us a better understanding of the Platala dragons and other dragons we haven’t explored much. Just like every TV show or movie series, there will always be at least one filler episode and that doesint always mean bad. Though this book had some flaws, I though it wasint to bad and was nice to take a small break from all the drama and look into some underrated dragons. Again, this is just my opinion, you are free to disagree. (Also explication on the pink leaf wing, there are actually some pink ish plants out there if you look them up! Funky, I know. I was confused also, but I’m guessing leafwings have a color pallet of any type of plant, like greens, browns, reds, gold (like fall leaves), and even some pink. The pink doesint dominate every single part of a leaf wing, just there frills like a normal plant of that color. Plants have these colors to attract bugs that either help them grow, or carnivorous plants that lure them in to eat them).

Me: Ooh, a premiere! I wonder when- August 1, me: ok, at what tim- *3AM* Oh shoot I know the time will change when you hit your goal, but can’t wait!

To qoute the almighty, immortal, timeless Dr. Nefario, "This may take a while."

Snowfall: gets visions about being other dragons and is annoyed Blue: does it instinctively for fun as a hobby

"Crown of Racist" That killed me oh my freaking god

I feel like the whole “not eating scavengers” and “talking humans” thing was kinda rushed, and overall didn’t like it

‘How dare Cobra lily not fit the exact description for her tribe?’ Oh man, Sheepie is NOT ready for Anemone-

hey dragonsheep. I know you probably won't see this, but I was inspired to draw dragons by you. before I started watching you I wanted to draw dragons but thought I couldn't. then after a while of watching you, I tried. now I am fairly good at drawing dragons and might even get a drawing tablet. I just wanted to say thank you, and that you are my favorite animator. I love wings of fire. keep on being amazing :)

Is no one going to talk about how Tui literally thanos snapped animus magic?

DragonSheep: “Blue showed us that dragons can cry while being possessed. THINK OF THE EDGY FAN ART POSSIBILITIES!!” Me: “Oh shoot I kinda want to draw that now-

Me thinking it will come out in like 8 hours: 😁 Seeing it won't come out for 49 days: 😥 Me reading what Dragon sheep said: 😮

Personally I think this book might even be one of my favourites in the series now. Wasn’t a lot of action or anything like that (and I do like myself a lot of action) but personally I could see my old over thinking, anxiety though the roof self in snowfall a bit and seeing how much she grew in just a short period of time made me so happy. Might have been mostly filler but it was filler that I throughly enjoyed. Snowfall is relatable to me and I was so happy to see her tear down that stupid wall and open herself and her tribe up to the world

I was looking forward to seeing Winter again after not seeing him for THREE WHOLE BOOKS and I was pretty disappointed. He only showed up for a few pages, is not going on the stealth team (just imagine the character development potential between him, Moon, and Qibli if he was), and the fact that he didn't see Snowfall destroy the walls was stupid. His entire life has been dictated by this so I'd imagine seeing it destroyed would be pretty cathartic for him.

Honestly, while this book maybe fillery, i LOVED it. I loved reading about Snowfall. I loved the new Sky content. I loved so much about this book since it made me sympathise with Snowfall! And that's an achievement considering her previous actions. I feel like her destorying the gift of order makes alot of sense for her character; she thinks about how annoying it is to do multiple times (hell even Glacier said it was hard) and the realisation that it's pretty pointless just,, speaks to me. Also Crystal existing created Snowfall's douts and anxieties so in my mind, her existance is justified Also also Ivory is cool i love her and i want to see her more

3:29 I think that the implementation of Crystal was used to show Snowfall that most of her anxieties, fears, and speculations aren’t true. If we took Crystal out of the book, Snowfall would have probably never learned that, and would still be highly skeptical of everyone and everything trying to “sneak off and kill her” :P It’s a good lesson for people and dragons!!

Remember in book 7 when Winter was the POV dragon? Remember when he went back to the Ice Kingdom and was moved to the first circle because he brought Hailstorm back? Remember when Snowfall was the character that you wanted Winter to destroy in terms of circle rankings because she got annoyed when she found that Winter was moved to the first circle? _Distant memories are awesome_ ... Most of the time-

Biggest animus overlooked flaw- We know animus dragons don't have to say "I enchant" to specifically trigger an enchantment, proven by Fathom yelling "Spears! Kill my grandfather!". We know animus dragons can accidentally enchant things, and don't need to have the conscious intent to enchant something, as seen by Anemone saying, when Darkstalker asks if she's done any new enchantments, that she has accidentally enchanted objects before. Also Albatross enchanting the clam, unless, of course, the entire story was just a cover and he actually knew he was an animus, which is possible but unlikely. We also know that you can enchant other dragons- the whole Darkstalker/Arctic fiasco, plus Darkstalker just touching Fathom and saying to remove his magic. So, explain to me, HOW DO ANIMUS DRAGONS NOT ACCIDENTALLY ENCHANT OTHER DRAGONS?!?!?!?!?! We see every single animus tell another dragon jokingly to "shut up", or to stop doing something, etc. So how do they not immediately respond to the unintentionally cast spell, or how does the animus NOT cast the spell??? Huh Tui??? HUH????

Yes it's filler, and yes, it's one of my favorites

i know nothing about pineapple but they’re my favorite character, and if they end up as a bad character, i’m going to be changing my branding

Anyone remember that poll where they asked if they should hold the video hostage? I'm pretty sure saying "DO IT COWARD" might be the reason there's a 48 day wait

No One: Me: Telling everyone I meet to subscribe to Sheepie so I can watch this most likely going to be awesome video

I really like the Gift Of Order, I loved the idea that IceWings are rigid and stern, and that MIGHT change, but they're still pretty and nice to draw- Plus, the IceWings have been doing the Circles for longer than many could remember, they might still be raised to be more rigid than other Tribes, but who knows. Who knows..

NGL, I loved when she snapped at the end and destroyed all the old icewing gifts such as the wall and the ranking board.

I've actually been planning on making a story about the underrated/forgotten characters in the series, and now Sheepie gave me the idea of including Pineapple in it. Pineapple Pineapple Pineapple. I already know that I'm gonna include Io, Hailstorm, and other * hint hint * characters who died before we saw much of their backstory. Try to figure out what I mean by that.

I’m SO EXCITED! I set a reminder and everything!

Two of my favorite things in this book: ~Mink is the cutest thing ever and needs to be best friends with Bumblebee, Cliff, and Auklet ~The whole Jerboa tragic backstory was so tragic and dark and I kinda loved it One more thing: We need some Halloween Maps now :>

Honestly, I don't know why but I absolutely adore this book in particular- I loved her character development and how she saw from others perspectives- and she just girl bossed in the end. But it's definitely one of my top favorite books in the series-

It is confirmed that leafwings can have autumn/fall colours like sundew’s gold (orange, yellow, RED) **HINT HINT** Red and green hawthorn is now canon :D

Okay my thoughts: - I liked part one snowfall, and i was kinda sad how she lost all her personality after her week-long unrealistic arc. - i hate lynx; shes annoying and can shut up, and im annoyed she went on the journey instead of winter - mink is okay. I dont think too much of her. - for some reason this book made me NOT like bumblebee. She just kinda felt like she was in there so no reason- oh wait she was. - i honestly hate the ship skyfall; i dont think sky should be paired up with anyone (DEFINITELY not wren ew), and although this wasnt too forced and was more mildly suggesting it, i feel like this’ll end up like ripnami: out of the blue, there just because the protag needs a love interest. However this time sky isnt as blank as a whiteboard like riptide. - i agree on crystal- she has so much potential, yet none of it is used. - i 100% AGREE that this book is filler- however i disagree on it being a “good filler episode”- its not an episode. Its a book, and should be treated like so. Books shouldn’t be filler. - this book set up the oncoming climax well- a little too well. Not only does that make it filler, that means the climax will probably be rushed and ending with rainbows and icecream, if it has the normal length of a book. Im hoping that either a.) the book ends on a cliff hanger, then the fourth ark picks it back up in the future “(maybe in an apocalypse style), or b.) this book is longer than your average book

I know some people don’t like this book because it’s mainly filler, but when I read it I loved it. Yes, it doesn’t really have a big plot but…WREN AND SKY ARE IN IT!?!! Dragons and Sca- Humans make peace (in a way) and, like I said, WREN AND SKY ARE IN IT!

My first oc was a rainwing Nightwing hybrid named Pineapple, and she lived before darkstalkers time but she had some sort of enchantment on her that allowed her to live until Queen glory’s rule, and you got the pineapple ref you made EXACTLY to my pineapples! So I now have a theory that tui read my mind and implanted my pineapple into the book because she liked the idea of her! XD (also the Book pineapples personality is almost IDENTICAL to my pineapples personality!)

Plot twist: there’s actually nothing in the video and she made the premiere to get 50k.

I heard dragonsheep and was summoned. Who needs sleep, not me! *Sleep is for the weak*

Honestly, I loved the decision to get rid of the gift of order. Its an aspect of IceWing society that does little more than instigate needless competition and feed into self-worth issues, and I wanted to see it torn down since Winter Turning. Sure it was unique, but it was also disastrous to Winter's mental state in a lot of ways, likely had similar effects on hundreds of other dragons who didn't get the same opportunities to see other systems, and created a social climate where it was acceptable to force two dragonets to effectively fight to the death at best, and lie to and sacrifice one at worst. Also I'm pretty sure Snowfall is aro, something I really hope stays in future installments because by the spirits beneath the ice, we need more representation.

You forgot about how dragons now recognize that humans are sentient. This could have huge implications in the future

I get up and this happens five hours ago- WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME SHEEPIE 😩

When I read this book and it got the part where Winter starts stuttering around Moon I literally screamed “WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! STOP BEING STUPID!” My family assumed I was crazy

I never liked the wall in the Icewing tribe, It made me feel like the Icewings couldn’t do anything without being judged and it sort of looked like a curse rather than a gift since they all were being judged by literally everything they do

The reason Crystal being in the book didn’t have a payoff is because we needed to see that Snowfall was being unreasonable and paranoid, having Crystal actually being up to something would ruin that.

Even tho there is a 49 Day wait i am still hyped

The chances that wall has a enactment to regrow if destroyed is probably very high

I honestly dislike the idea of tearing down the IceWing gift of order, as it was a distinct trait of the tribe that made its hierarchy interesting. I also feel like her arc WAS a bit rushed, but overall the book was good and I enjoyed it. However, I do think that the hierarchy should still be in place, but dragons in the 7th circle have an equal chance to go up.

You know these book who make you cry a lot? Snowfall destroying the Gift of Order make me jump with joy and delight. Like, if I never felt so happy. Did I applaud at the end of the book? Totally.

I can’t wait for goal to get here!

Non-WoF reader: What’s the personality of Snowfall? WoF reader: Character development

To me, the entire third arch is filler. I’m only invested for the absolute crazy old lady scarab.

All these drawings of the characters are really funny looking, like *good* funny looking

3AM WHY

Ngl the 49 days caught me off guard lmao

I loved this video my favorite frame was probably Smowfall smashing things up for absolutely no reason at all. 5:26 make sure to pause your video

the way you said 17 was just too funny

I feel like the end of book 14 was very rushed, all the sudden she just smashed everything then ended her book.

Let’s get to that goal of 50k!!!

Book 14 is okay as a filler I guess but as a book it’s really lacking in my opinion, Snowfall has no time to develop her feelings by herself. Instead a ring is what changes her completely. The ice-night hate crown is so stupid I’m not even gonna talk about it-

This is honestly my favourite book, because Sky was introduced into the main series, and I loved him as soon I met him in Dragonslayer. He is my favourite and I adore him :)

The wait is long lol. I won’t be able to watch it tho bc it will be 3 am for me lol. Edit: I posted this before sheepie made her comment lol. I want it to be early but after I finish book 14. GOTTA GO QUICK XD. Edit 2: Finished it YES.

I waited 43 days for this and I am not disappointed

I sadly missed this because I was seeing fireworks Edit: also I love snowfall and opal and they are now both some of my favorite characters Edit 2: I actually kinda ship snowfall and lynx Edit 3: dangerous gift was definitely my favorite book so far I know some people don’t like it much and I can understand why but I personally love the scavengers and this book was just more chill and idk why but the more recent books have been some of my favorite so far Also a tip to maybe help those who don’t like the fact that humans are getting more involved because that’s one of the reasons they liked this series because there weren’t main character humans just try imagining them as something else like my friend imagined them as ferrets but you could imagine them as mice, frogs, lizard people, cats, or even another made up creature this helped my friend a lot I don’t know if it will help you but maybe it will still be fun Edit 4: also I have noticed the fourth book of each arc tends to be like this where it is setting things up this is also the case with a lot of book series where the second to last book of an arc just sets things up

If tundra wears skywing teeth necklace, then I’m surprised Scarlet didn’t wear dragon head helmets

I think the fact that she destroyed the 7 circle board thingie is a good thing. Hear me out. I understand that it makes the tribe more interesting, but no offense, I think ice wings are already too interesting and overrated as it is, that they don't need the wall. They have frost breath, Icicle spikes on their back, lots of animus touched objects, the ice wall, the BOARD, the LONGEST KNOWN animus magic line ever in the history of pyrrhia, and the people to have the lost continental dragons come to them, and a HUGE war between the night wings with an epic back story to it, PLUS I remember in the book that she said that they have ICE SPIRITS?!?! HELLO? Doesn't anyone think that's a little too much? I think Tui spent too much time focusing on ice wings (when they are already cool and over liked) even though she should have spent more time on the tribes that people don't really pay much attention to, (aka mud wings, sea wings, sky wings). We barely know what the mudwing's castle look like due to how unpopular they are, and in my opinion, thats totally unfair. Also, now that Snowfall destroyed board, ice wings don't have to be so anxious and in stress all the time wondering if they are going to get moved up or down. They don't have to be forced to try to be the best, kind of like what Winter went through. Especially the ice wall. She destroyed it, and now other dragons that aren't ice wings can explore the beautiful icey tundras and admire their culture. And then maybe Snowfall can even reconsider making Ally's and creating schools mixed with different tribes, teaching other dragonets to get along. So everyone in every tribe can live together with peace and harmony :D So yeah, there's my logical opinion ✌🤪

I adore the skyfall ref and your ✨beautiful ✨doodles of all the dragons

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO ALSO THINK THAT IVORY IS cool

ICEWINGS ARE AWESOME mostly because of the obscene amount of spikes they have and the fact that they pretty much spit liquid nitrogen

Why so far awayyyy?

Wow I’m very proud of u DragonSheep 50k is a lot of people

Time to wait *for ages*

" Ivory is Kewl." "Will I elaborate on this?" *"No."*

E I’m so exited I can wait

I'm going to cry I just found your channel again- You were my comfort youtuber for a long while :,,,,)

49 *DAYS* You make me wait 49 *DAYYYYYS!?!?*

This is my absolute FAVORITE book in the entire series!! 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

Noice

I really loved this book, but I understand it's not for everyone because snowfall can be a bit much at times. Cant wait to sed what you think of it!

I love the Ice Wing tribe, and I'm happy but really more mad about Snowfall destroying the gift of order. Honestly, I thought that the Circles helped the IceWings be unique, and I don't know.... I just wonder what could've happened if she hadn't destroyed it.

"Ivory is cool" Well DUH, she's an IceWing

IN 49 DAYS? WHY DO YOU TORTURE ME!? *quickly looks at sub count*

I loved this book so much because of the encounter with Dragonslayer characters! Dragonslayer was my favorite book.

Hi

I really really really loved Snowfall. Her anxiety was really relatable and I liked the book a ton. It might be one of my favorites honestly. Edit: AND OH MY GOD THE SCENE WHERE THEY REALIZE HUMANS CAN TALK WAS SO DANG FULFILLING

Jerboa Winglet Idea: Jerboa woke up stretching her wings and walked over to her scroll. “OK, Google, are there any hot single IceWings in my area?” She wrote. “One match.” Google Scroll replied, “Glacier is a hot IceWing queen who is.. taken.” “TAKEN?!” Jerboa yelled in fury, “BY WHO?!” Google Scroll cleared their throat. “Blaze..” “BLAZE?!” Jerboa screamed, “WELL, I’LL SHOW THAT BRATTY PRINCESS WHO’S BOSS!” Jerboa stomped up to Blaze’s door and knocked on it with her skinny fingered knuckle. “HELLOOOOOO?!” She opened the door to see Glacier puking up her sexy insides on Blaze’s carpet. “Nooo!” Blaze screamed, “My carpet!” “NOOOOOO!” Jerboa screamed, “MY HOT ICE!” Jerboa knelt beside Glacier, her hands shaking, and brushed Glacier’s cheek. “My queen, my.. my love, I will never forget you, the one dragon who ever loved me. Not for my power, but for who I was on the inside.” She turned to Blaze, “Also, you suck. Blister for life.” Blaze screamed, “GET AWAY FROM MY WIFE!” And knocked Jerboa out of the window. The end! I hope Tui likes my idea! :)
