It was really okay.

I didn't like Sundew in this one as much as I did in The Lost Continent. Willow was boring. Bumblebee was stupid and filler. Cricked was boring and did nothing. Blue was boring and sappy. Swordtail was useless filler.

None of these characters really did anything, except for Sundew. That bugs me. Never have useless characters in your book, I say!

This book was mostly boring and cringey—the romance, the drama and lack thereof, Sundew herself...

Egh. It's just okay.

But, in this book we learn some history about Queen Wasp's rise to power, some of Pantala's deadly lifeforms, the history of the LeafWings and how they split into SapWings and PoisonWings after the war, that the Tree Wars were only 50 years ago (wow), the Legend of the Hive, that the migrants to Pantala were refugees who couldn't return to Pyhrria, and that the Othermind can control lifeforms through a plant called the Breath of Evil. Also, we get to see that the plants are sentient, alive, and can talk in their own language, called Leafspeak.

So...it was cool. But it also wasn't great. I only re-read it to plan a fanfic, and because it was extremely forgettable (couldn't remember what happened from last time I read it).
