Is Kinkajou From Wings Of Fire Getting Her Own Spin-Off Novel?

I’ve been a huge fan of 'Wings of Fire' for years, and Kinkajou is one of those characters who just sticks with you. Her bubbly personality and hidden depths make her a standout. Right now, there hasn’t been any official announcement about a spin-off novel focused on her, but the fandom is buzzing with hope. Tui T. Sutherland has expanded the series with side stories before, like 'Darkstalker' and 'Dragonslayer,' so it’s not out of the question. Kinkajou’s arc in the main series leaves room for so much more—her growth, her relationships, and even her backstory could fill a whole book. I’d love to see her take the spotlight, especially exploring her time with the NightWings or her role in the RainWing kingdom. Fingers crossed Sutherland hears the fan demand!

As someone who devours every 'Wings of Fire' book the moment it drops, I’ve been keeping a close eye on any hints about spin-offs. Kinkajou is a fan favorite for good reason—her humor, resilience, and unexpected wisdom make her unforgettable. While there’s no confirmed spin-off for her yet, the pattern of the series suggests it’s possible. Sutherland often revisits side characters with deeper dives, like with 'The Winglets Quartet,' which gave smaller characters their own moments to shine.

Kinkajou’s potential spin-off could explore so much: her early life in the Rainforest Kingdom, her trauma under the NightWings, and how she rebuilds herself. Her friendship with Moonwatcher is another rich vein to mine. The way Sutherland writes character growth is masterful, and Kinkajou’s journey from a seemingly naive dragon to a key player in the war is begging for expansion. I’d also love to see her perspective on post-war Pyrrhia—how the RainWings adapt, or even her take on new conflicts. The fandom’s been vocal about wanting more of her, so here’s hoping!

Until then, I’ll be re-reading her scenes and imagining what could be. If anyone could pull off a Kinkajou-centric story, it’s Sutherland. Her ability to balance lightheartedness with deep themes is perfect for a character like Kinkajou.

Kinkajou’s charm in 'Wings of Fire' is undeniable—she’s the kind of character who steals every scene she’s in. A spin-off for her isn’t confirmed, but the demand is real. Fans adore her mix of optimism and hidden strength, and her arc in the main series feels like just the beginning. Imagine a novel diving into her RainWing culture, her trauma recovery, or even her adventures post-'The Lost Continent.'

Sutherland has a knack for fleshing out side characters, and Kinkajou’s potential is endless. A spin-off could explore her relationship with Turtle, her role in the RainWing hierarchy, or even a solo quest that tests her growth. The way she balances humor and heartache is ripe for deeper storytelling. Until an official announcement drops, I’ll keep hoping—and maybe doodling fanart of what her cover might look like.
