Customer Reviews

Firestar, best book I have ever read
Firestar is the best book in the series it is interesting and intreging and kept me turning pages.I think this book would be worth reading if you like polar bears,squirrels and most importantly DRAGONS.If you have not read the other books in the series The Fire Within and Icefire you might get a bit confused and you won't enjoy the book as much as you could.I highly recomend this book, actually I recomend all three books!!!
hrrrrr!

Trying To Do Too Much
I did sort of enjoy reading this book. I can't say all of it made a great amount of sense and regardless of any other opinion I don't believe it has a satisfactory ending.

Icefire left us with a lot left to tell but at least the strands of that particular story were pretty much tied up. It appears that Chris D'Lacey changed his mind about exactly what story he wanted to tell about halfway through this book and instead decided to hash two (or more) together. As a result the stories (and the characters in them) never really got the attention (or completion) that they deserved.

If nothing else we are left with a lot of potential for the next book in the series. All he has to do is finish the stories he began in Firestar and that'll be a novel!

Bad ending.
I enjoyed chris d'lacey's first two books loads and thought they were amazing.Firestar was also amazing but for me the ending wasnt right as Lucy says it leaves you angry and confused also shocked and sad, it comes on you so quickly.
I think this series needs another book to explain more and to revive a certain person.
