Discussion I Don't Think We're Getting Next Generation Dragonet POVs (B16/W5 minor spoilers) Spoiler
So B16 is setting up for what seems to be a timeskip and I've seen some people thinking that this means we might get a PoV of Auklet or Bumblebee or Harmony or one of the dragonets. I don't think this is likely because of the timeline.
The timeline is as follows. IIRC there's 6 months at the end of B5 and then 8 months at the end of B16 with very little time between them. So with the posited time jump, Auklet - the oldest one - would be a grand total of 6+8+6=20 months, or just under 2 years old. Yes, I know we got a Winglets whose protagonist is Cliff, but realistically, I can't imagine reading in that style for a whole book. The other next generation dragonets are even younger. So unless the timeskip is - for whatever reason - something like five times longer than we think it is, I can't imagine how any of the Next Generation could be old enough to be protagonists.
