Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The tales of Lady Firebird conclude with Tyers' Crown of Fire , sequel to Firebird (1999) and Fusion Fire (2000). Firebird, from the decadent planet Netaia, was born a wastling, doomed to a glorious death in combat against the Ehretan Federate. But she's captured and falls in love with General Brennen, a telepath and leader of the Sentinels--the good guys. Firebird joins the Sentinel cause to subdue a renegade band of powerful telepaths called the Shuhr, whose defeat is also desired by the "Eternal Speaker," or God. Tyers is a busy writer with a confusing array of characters and settings, and she leans heavily on Star Wars . Firebird's rejection of Netaia's rigid religion and the idea of a culture based on ruthless eugenics prove intriguing, as do certain minor characterizations, such as that of Terza, a young eugenics technician who, in support of the war effort, is forced to bear a child the old-fashioned way.

Several plot twists and turns, terrific writing and larger-than-life characters make this an excellent page turner for fans. -- Romantic Times, November 2000

Modest Speculative Fiction

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

I was hooked by the first book in Tyers' Firebird trilogy, and read through the other two out of need to finish the story. I have recently discovered there are two more books following this one, though I doubt I will read them. While I could list all the particular disappointments of this third installment of the series, I will simply say I lost touch with the main characters by the end of this book, and consequently the plot revolving around them. I did generally enjoy how the story progressed and culminated (no spoilers here), and it was interesting to view the story from multiple characters' perspectives. There were many points where I was taken out of the story, however; too many to remain engaged with the characters and their desires. I would recommend this book (and the series) to anyone looking for either a little entertainment or a subtle contemplation of the nature of evil (and of good).

Crown of Fire--A Satisfyingly Tense Ending to the Firebird Series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

Sci-Fi fans will love this. I am more of a fantasy reader, but I'm also a Star Trek and Star Wars geek, too. Sometimes I did get lost in all the technological jargon, but it didn't interfere with a very intriguing plot. I thought the pace of the story was just right. It kept me turning pages (or, in my case, swiping the screen to get to the next page). The series has lots of twists and turns, frustrations and victories, and an overarching theme that something phenomenal is going to happen.

Conclusion of a trilogy - but there are still two more books!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 11, 2017

While "Crown of Fire" is the third and final book that was published in 2004 together in one volume as the Firebird Trilogy, Kathy Tyers did go on to publish two more concluding books in the series 2011 ("Wind and Shadow") and 2012 ("Daystar"). Nonetheless, "Crown of Fire" still rounds off the first two stories nicely. In this novel, Firebird heads back to her home world of Netaia, where she is again welcomed as a royal heir. But as the threat of the Shuhr and their home world Three Zed continues, Firebird and her husband Brennan plan to trap a Shuhr agent, in order to gain the information they need to make a devastating strike on the Shuhr planet. But while trying to save her people, Firebird faces a new enemy: pride.

The edition of the book that I have includes a very helpful Author's Note at the end, explaining how "Crown of Fire" has a dual theme of pride and atonement. While her desire to serve the One is noble, Firebird is tempted to be remembered for the wrong reasons, and to rely on herself. In this way Kathy Tyers offers some clear lessons for the need for our own proud hearts to be broken. The theme of atonement is also evident in how Firebird is saved by a sacrificial death. While not intended as an allegory, Tyers explains that the apparent death and resurrection that this involves is geared to function as a parable for Firebird's enlightenment. As the author points out: "At this point in Firebird's story, she understands mercy, her flawed nature, and the necessity of dying to pride and herself. In her universe, true atonement lies in the future ... but she grasps the concept only when Brennen acts it out. His action saves her from being destroyed simply for who she is. Similarly, Christ submitted to death in our place, rescuing us from the inevitable consequences of who we are: His flawed but beloved children, created in the divine image, but tainted by our propensity to sin."

Once again Kathy Tyers offers an exciting read, and a thoughtful spiritual story, which is both engaging and upbuilding. While at times it seems to be a little weighed down by sci-fi mumbo jumbo, with references to technological jargon and concepts that we are meant to imagine without having much of an idea how they function, overall it is a well-imagined and convincing universe, and the action carries the story well. While not quite as good as the second in the series, this book will satisfy by far the majority of readers who have come to love Firebird and the world around her. Even without the two later books that were added to this series, this book does round off the main story nicely. Note that the final two books deal with Firebird's twin boys (Book 4), and it's in the final book that the Messiah finally arrives (Book 5). - GODLY GADFLY (February 2017)

5 stars for the 9th

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 30, 2011

Kathy has written for the Star Wars series and was one of the few authors ever chosen by Lucas etc to write one. But her Christian fiction is miles ahead. She has managed that most important ability to write about truly important Christian subjects without sounding preachy. Her plots are fabulous and her characters really are wonderful. She has been given five stars by all her reviewers here and I will fall right along with the rest. I picked up "Firebird" at a second hand book sale and never really intended to read the thing until I handed it to my daughter and felt that I really ought to find out was was in the thing. I was so amazed and delighted. Now I too am pining away like the rest hoping that Kathy will get herself in gear and give us some more of this. She is really one of the most gifted writers of our time in any genre. And so far she is also one of the best kept secrets....imagine having trouble finding her books in print. Just keep looking on the Net, you will find them. But why doesn't somebody bring them out again?

Excellent Conclusion of the Firebird Trilogy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 6, 2007

In this conclusion to the Firebird trilogy Lady Firebird, the protagonist, returns to her home world of Netaia to be confirmed as a heiress to the throne and to lure a Shuhr (enemy) agent into the open. However, pride tempts Firebird as she ponders how much good she could do as queen. This book wraps up most of the elements begun in the earlier books but left enough for me to want the trilogy to become a series.

The spiritual elements of this trilogy have been criticized because the first book in the series was originally written as a secular novel. I find it hard to understand why someone would criticize Kathy Tyers for writing about her faith. Christian art, in all forms, is meant to either to glorify God or present ideas about the faith. In all three books of this series, this is done rather subtly. You could remove every mention of faith and religion and all of the stories would still work. But, within the stories faith, the lack of it, or the search for it, adds another facet to various characters motivation and complexity.

None of the books in this trilogy, Firebird Fusion Fire and Crown of Fire are hard science fiction. They are stories of war, faith and romance in a science fiction setting and within that context, they are all superior stories told by a talented writer. I recommend them all.
