Wings of Fire is an incredibly popular kids’ book series about dragons, but sadly the author has pulled the old bait and switcheroo.
She first lured young readers in with the promise of fire, fights, and fast-paced adventure. But starting in book 10 with a one-line mention of one girl dragon liking another girl dragon, the author began pushing the LGBT agenda. That comes out in a bigger way in books 14 and 15, with the introduction of a couple of “non-binary” characters (complete with they/them pronouns), a dragon with two moms, a trio of lesbian couples, and a homosexual pairing.
It’s no coincidence that this agenda comes out big and bold only this far into the series. The author knows she has most of her young readers hooked, and they’ll want to know how the 15-book series ends, no matter what she foists on them. Hopefully, Christian kids will quit in disgust, but there will be a temptation to see how it all ends.
Wings of Fire author Tui T. Sutherland was also one of several writers to contribute, under the pseudonym of Erin Hunter, to the popular Warriors series (about cats) which does its own bait and switch. Here the graphic novel adaptions of the original books reframe a buddy-relationship into a same-sex coupling of male cats, Ravenpaw and Barley.
