This story was phenomenal. Just like the other books that preceded Darkwing (Silverwing, Sunwing, and Firewing). It's about this chiropter (which is like the ancestor of bats basically, it's fictional) named Dusk. Dusk is different, so he is considered a freak among the colony. He has wings so he can fly. The chiropters have sails with fur, so they can only glide through trees. Dusk also has the ability of echolocation, while chiropters don't have that ability. The villains in this book is felids. They're basically kind of like dogs sort of. Just imagine it that way. :) Carnassial is the leader of the villains. He's different, because he craves meat while felids mostly feed on fruits or insects. Since he craves meat so much, he's kicked out, but others join him. Together they form this group and go out to hunt meat. They attack Dusk's home, and all this chaos happens. At the end, they finally find a home, and it is unknown what happens to Carnassial. Also at the end, Dusk finds out that he's not the only one with his kind of abilities.
This book is so...tragic, haha. There's so much death and betrayal. It's so sad. :P I really hated it when Icaron, Sol, Aeolus, and Panthera dies. It's sad! But then again, I get emotional over character deaths, LOL. I definitely recommend this book. Kenneth Oppel is a fantastic author. :)
