Hey Wingfeather Saga gang so I just remembered that there IS one last TWS book aka Wingfeather Tales

So I just wanted to ask to anyone who has red it-- is it worth it? Should I get it?

I know it resolves around the Aerwiar world, but honestly I kinda just want anything with Janner, Kalmar and Leeli in it, and i'm not sure if they're even gonna be mentioned 😔 (I especially want a hint if whetever they managed to save Janner or not AAAA)

But still, even if the kids aren't the main focus, is it worth it for the lore or the spotlight of other characters? I want everyone's honest opinion

So I got off my computer to read Wingfeather Tales but I have gotten back on to say that OSKAR NAMED THE MAJOR CONFLICT OF THE BOOKS “THE WINGFEATHER WAR”

THE WINGFEATHER WAR

So maybe Douglas McKelvey did get a bit Dostoyevsky and the depths of despair in his Wingfeather Tales novella, but boy did he ever make it pay off. Actually a reasonably happy ending? Check. Meaningful character development? Check. Comments on the true value of life, even the lives of Fangs? Check.

The Places Beyond the Maps is a very high contrast tale. Yes, the dark bits are properly pitch black, but the bright bits shine like the sun and the dark makes them all the plainer and easier to see. Like that bit from Sam's speech in The Two Towers about how 'when the sun shines it'll shine out the clearer'.

I wasn't sure about the story while I was in the process of reading it, but by the time I finished it, I found that I appreciated, even liked it.

The Prince of Yorsha Doon:

In which Aerwiar’s answer to Aladdin submits to the mortifying ordeal of being known. And subsequently discovers that there actually benefits to having friends and not being a complete and utter loner.
