40 free Wings of Fire trivia questions with answers. If you know the difference between a SilkWing and a SkyWing, this is your quiz. Forty Wings of Fire questions cover all four arcs of Tui T. Sutherland's dragon series: the Dragonet Prophecy and the War of SandWing Succession, the Jade Mountain Prophecy and Darkstalker, the Lost Continent of Pantala and Queen Wasp, and the new Forgotten Isles arc. There are questions on the ten tribes and their powers, animus magic, the Legends and Winglets books, the graphic novels, the author (and her Jeopardy! winnings), and the long road to a TV series. The questions are written for readers aged eight and up, the same audience as the books, and start easy before getting properly hard for fans who have read everything twice. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the series and its author, and each question carries its source. No fan-wiki rumours.
