| − | While family and friendship are portrayed mostly well, the series has taken a more left-leaning turn in its later books. Homosexuality is sprinkled here and there in the second arc (with a female SeaWing named Anemone liking another female for no reason at all), until the thirteenth book: ''The Poison Jungle'', where Sundew the LeafWing falls in love with another female dragon and doesn't stop thinking about it. Moral relativism is portrayed as right in the series; an example of that in ''Winter Turning'' has Moonwatcher justifying Icicle's terrorist attack on Jade Mountain Academy by saying that no dragon is really evil and that she was feeling unloved. There is also a feeling of feminism throughout the series, where queens and princesses hold a lot of power in their kingdoms with the kings being only second-in-command. | + | While family and friendship are portrayed mostly well, the series has taken a more left-leaning turn in its later books.
