SPOILER WARNING!
This article contains heavy discussion of plot details from the newest Unwanteds Quests books. You are at risk of major spoilers if you haven't read up to the newest installment in the series. Be careful!

The Unwanteds Quests: Dragon Captives is the first book in The Unwanteds Quests series written by Lisa McMann, a spinoff of the first Unwanteds series. This book is meant to be read right after Island of Dragons, and takes place 10 years after that final battle.

Summary

Ten years after Alex and Aaron Stowe brought peace to Quill and Artimé, their younger twin sisters journey beyond the islands in this New York Times bestselling first novel of a new sequel series to The Unwanteds, which Kirkus Reviews called “The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter.”

Identical twins Fifer and Thisbe Stowe have amazing yet uncontrollable magical abilities. They’re naturally more gifted than even their brother, Alex, the head mage of Artimé, could hope to be. But when they accidentally use their magic in the jungle of Artimé to strike down a beloved creature, Alex is furious, and threatens to lock them away until they can learn to control their power.

The threat is soon forgotten, though, when Hux, the ice blue dragon, comes to Artimé bearing the horrible news that his siblings have been enslaved by the notoriously evil Revinir, ruler of the dragon land.

Seeking a chance to right their wrong and escape their brother’s wrath, Thisbe, Fifer, and their friend Seth sneak away to rescue the dragons from grave peril. Will their untrained abilities be enough to save the dragons—and themselves—when they come face-to-face with the Revinir?

Cover

The cover shows Hux, with Thisbe (left), Fifer (right), and Seth (falling off) on his back, heading towards Grimere.

Inaccuracies

  • It's not like they had to climb a huge cliff as soon as they passed over the gorge...definitely not a thing that happened...
  • Hux should have a ropelike tail.
  • Fifer and Thisbe should be sitting just behind his shoulders where there are no spines, but that doesn't seem to be a thing here.
  • They're very small, but Fifer's hair should be curlier.
  • If that's meant to be water, below them, it shouldn't be curling up like that. There should be fog, but the water is flowing down the waterfall, not up...or down? around them.
  • Fifer and Thisbe's skin should be darker. Their skin looks like the same shade as Seth's here.
