About The Lost Heir:
The WINGS OF FIRE saga continues with a thrilling underwater adventure -- and a mystery that will change everything!

The lost heir to the SeaWing throne is going home at last...

She can’t believe it’s finally happening. Tsunami and her fellow dragonets of destiny are journeying under the water to the great SeaWing Kingdom. Stolen as an egg from the royal hatchery, Tsunami is eager to meet her future subjects and reunite with her mother, Queen Coral.

But Tsunami’s triumphant return doesn’t go quite the way she’d imagined. Queen Coral welcomes her with open wings, but a mysterious assassin has been killing off the queen's heirs for years, and Tsunami may be the next target. The dragonets came to the SeaWings for protection, but this ocean hides secrets, betrayal — and perhaps even death.

My Thoughts:
Wonderful follow-up to the first book!

This instalment in the series is about Tsunami, one of the five dragonets who are our team of heroes. This series is obviously going through the five dragonets in the Dragonets Of Destiny team. Each dragonet with his/her own story. Each dragonet's story revolves around the dragonet's search for his/her home and family. And I am getting worried that this might get repetitive soon. This being book 2, it isn't yet. Keep our fingers crossed that a few books down the line, this series does not become "same old, same old".

So this book, has the same wonderful world building as the previous book. But for some reason it took me a few months to finish this book despite the convenience of the audiobook... it might not be the book. It might be just that I had so much going on at that time, like, life happened... maybe... either way, this book was not a quick read for me. But despite that, I am still a fan and will continue reading this series, even if it takes me a few years to go through it. :)
