Crown of Fire

I know that I would rate this book at 5 stars since I loved the first two in this series. And after reading the other reviews I really would like to read this one! I picked the first two up at a Christian book outlet for next to nothing. I read them in no time at all and was ready for the third one. Much to my dismay, it is the only one out of print!! Is this some kind of publisher's ploy to make the last one in the series a rare and expensive book to buy? I have only found it at prices as high as $$ which I can't get myself to spend since the first two are still being sold at lower prices, I am so dissapointed that I can't finish the series, but will keep checking for them to print it again or for more people to decide to let their copies go. Any one want to sell theirs for $$ or less since they sell originally for $$, I can't see paying more for it. Thank you Kathy and Bethany House I think it is, for such a great series. Please, reprint the last one to go with the first two!

The only thing bad about this book was that it's the last in the Firebird series, and I want more, but everything else I just loved. It has all the same good qualities as Firebird and Fusion Fire. I don't know if I can pick a favorite out of this series, but if I could, it might be this one. Near the end, when poor Firebird was so sure Brennan was dead, I nearly cried (something I usually don't do while reading). I'd recommend this book to anyone.

When I first received my copy of this book, I let it sit for a few days. I was aware that it was the final volume of the Firebird trilogy, and I wanted to savor it for awhile. Then I began to take peeks at the book, and before I realized it I had read the entire thing. All I can say is, "Wow!"This was definitely one of the best books I've read in a long time. I love the characters of both Firebird and Brennen. They are utterly human, with human strengths and failings. I don't like books with one-dimensional characters who can do either no right or no wrong. Firebird and Brennen make their share of mistakes, but ultimately become stronger for them.Although I know it's not likely to happen, I would love to see more stories in this universe!

I thought that Crown of Fire was an excellent conclusion to the Firebird trilogy. Firebird's struggle with pride was very well written. Several parts in the book were so intense that I had to read on to find out what was going to happen. The suprise ending made a fitting touch to these wonderful books.

Okay, I probably shouldn't be writing this review yet because I have not finished the book, but so far I have not been able to set this book down! Its just awesome! Just like the first 2 novels in this trilogy! I sincerely hope that Kathy Tyers keeps writing Christian Science Fiction because she does a fantastic job! The Firebird trilogy is not just the best Christian science fiction I have ever read, but the best Science Fiction and maybe the best novels I have ever read.
