i have finished book 16, heres my thoughts and theories from 10 minutes after i closed the last page.
!SPOILERS UNDER CUT!!
for those that dont want spoilers but want an update on The Suns Return, im still writing it but will delay more chapters release on a03 and in the communities i post it to edit it to reflect the new book more.
cw; swearing.
oh my fucking god??? oh my fucking god??? what the actual fuck???
that book was really good, and definitely a return to glory. (no pun intended)
i love platypus and quokka so much, and i think kinkajou and platypus would get on like a house on fire.
THAT IS, IF KINKAJOU IS ALIVE?? THE QUEENS AND POSSIBLY OTHERS THAN JUST KINKAJOU (but cricket and sundew are still fine?) GOT MEGA POOFED OUT OF EXISTENCE.
my theorist brain says they got shoved into harmony as she hatched since she seems to be allwing; fyi shes my favorite, and yes i will be making keychains of all the important characters so keep an eye out for when i post the finished designs.
that, admitedly, is an insane theory and not true. the queens havent amalgamated into harmony because thats stupid, but if someone wants to make an AU about that, be my guest because its honestly a rlly cool idea.
(also, is monarch still there if the queens are dissapearing, as the silkwings have a government, right? would she count, or do 200 dragons just up and poof?? like, regardless of wether of if the queens are like harmony now, i think people would notice monarch dissapearing, so whats going on?)
i personally hoped the two mystery eggs would have been beetlewings so they can restart the tribe; we still have hope for the grey egg, which got kidnapped at the end, wtaf??
(i just rlly like beetlewings and want a good explanation to justify them in TSR (fic im writing) but im gonna put them in there regardless.)
i love sharpwings, and wildwings is really, really cool. definitely using that term and will be delaying the release of more suns return chapters to rewrite some areas to more convey the implications this book gives us, and i personally think Harmony will do great things (i hope shes the last pov in the final book) so some bits and pieces of her will be referenced.
i dont think the moment of mulberry being saved by the other two hybrid princes was what the prophecy reffered to; it was vague, but i seem to remember it being lower down on the prophecy and while that moment was climactic, it didnt feel like the prophecy moment at all to me imo. i was expecting some crazy powers or reveal, but we kind got what we knew regurgitated, and nothing at all as crazy as the prophecy made it out to be, so i think we are still waiting on the prophecy.
also, two more books atleast are going to be written for this arc and we only got the prophecy revealed half way through, so they cant complete the prophecy in just one book like that imo, so i think we will still be waiting, despite the title of the book.
im very excited for the next one, and i hope i dont fuck up the edits to my fic and harmony turns out evil, cause that would suck! :)
i just really hope queen glory is still alive. im so anxious for her. and kinkajou??? like???
