When he discovers a carving of a great dragon he is ready to listen to the one everyone calls a beast, and what he finds out surprises him. He is ignored, even shunned, by everyone, including most of his family. Everyone is “chosen” from birth as to what they will be when they grow up – except very few “unchosen” angels – like Trystan. They are cold, cruel, set in their ways, and have more rules and regulations than should be allowed. Trystan may be an angel, and the angels are beings of light, yet they are not what I imagine angels to be. I love it when a book (or rather, its author) can do that to me! The characters surprised me, the events twisted and turned a few times, the epic battle still happened but in an entirely unexpected way… and the final resolution was logical, yet its consequences surprised me in a good way. In fact, I was wrong on more than one level. As the tale picks up a thousand years later with the dragon awakening, it turns out I was wrong. ‘On Wings of Thunder’ starts out as an epic battle of good versus evil – angels versus demons – and when the five elder angels combine forces to kill Asagoroth, the demon leader, yet only succeed to imprison the mighty dragon, I thought I knew where the story was going.
