The Issue of LGBT in Wings Of Fire
I promised a post about this, so here it is: why the LGBT visibility in Wings Of Blaze isn’t that good (all of this is my opinion). Warning for spoilers for The Lost Continent.
Firstly, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having straight protagonists! The series isn’t about romance and that’s fine. What I think is wrong, though, is how LGBT characters are handled. I’ll cover them one by one.
I’ll start with Umber, who’s confirmed to be male lover. He’s shown to favor Qibli, which is all fine, unless you stare at their ages: Umber is seven and Qibli is five. In WOF, seven is the mature age of dragons, while five is roughly matched to someone in their teens (based on how they act). This makes Umber’s crush on Qibli uncomfortable to say the least.
Secondly, Snowfox, Snowflake, and Anemone. They’re all confirmed lesbians and also all presented (at least at one point) as antagonists. Snowfox and Snowflake actively threaten Arctic and Foeslayer (the protagonists in that book), and Clearsight sees at least four futures where Snowfox would wipe out the entire NightWing tribe; she’s a villain, and Snowflake sides with her. Anemone is al

Twilight: a horrible book that fathers should consider reading with their daughters
In Stephanie Meyer published Twilight, a novel for teens she described as a "suspense, passion, horror, comedy." It tells the story of Bella, just starting grade eleven at a new academy in rainy Washington mention, and her love interest Edward, a ninety-something-year-old vampire. And to add to the oddness, the cover features a pair of pale hands offering up an enticing rosy red apple. That’s just a three-line summary, but it should be enough to creep out Christian parents; we know romanticized vampires offering up forbidden fruit can't amount to anything better than frothy trash, and might well be something worse. So we realize this isn’t the sort of fiction we crave our daughters reading. It might turn out, though, that they have other thoughts. This is the literary and celluloid huge thing right now – Twilight has sold 17 million copies and spawned three sequels and two, going on three, films with the third due out this June. It’s an entirely female fan anchor, and as the books and movies keep coming the phenomenon is also making inroads into the Ch
Readers of this blog recognize that Caramel is a big fan of Tui Sutherland and her Wings of Fire series. He has already read and reviewed all fifteen books! (He reviewed the fifteenth book, The Flames of Hope, only a couple weeks ago; check it out for links to his reviews of the earlier books.) Today he reviews the first publication of another series from Tui Sutherland, cowritten by her sister Kari Sutherland: The Menagerie. As usual, Sprinkles is taking notes and asking questions.
Sprinkles: I know you had been a bit reluctant to read this manual Caramel. Can you elucidate why to our readers?
Caramel: I really would rather not. But I comprehend you really want me to. So okay, I&#;ll tell. I felt that Tui Sutherland means Wings of Fire and dragons, and I did not want to read a different story by her that I would not really like too much and get disappointed.
S: I can totally perceive that. That&#;s why I read this before you and I was quite convinced you would actually enjoy it.
C: I think you were right. Now I need to read the next guide.
S: Wait, I realize this is the first book of a trilogy, but then you did like it a lot! That makes me glad. So okay, I vow we will get our paws
