Her death was expected, but something more powerful kept her alive.

Lady Firebird was born to the royal family of Netaia. Because of her birthplace in the family, however, her life is expendable. Honorable suicide is the highest calling she could hope to attain. When she is chosen to lead an attack on the neighboring planet of Veroh, her death is expected. Instead she is taken prisoner during the battle and is held by the enemy.

With her own people seeking her sacrifice, Firebird must choose between two worlds before she can carve out her new destiny. This is the story of Lady Firebird's personal battle and its eternal consequences, not only for herself, but for everyone around her, and especially the man who loves her.

This is a case of a fabulous book (series) dragged down and nearly ruined by a terrible Narrator. I have loves this series all of my adult life, and have waited for it to come out in audiobook format for TWO decades. You cab imagine how elated I was to find out that it was coming to audio! I waited eagerly and saved the books up until I had them all, so I could binge them at work.

I was horrified and very disappointed to find that the Narrator mispronounced many words (even common words that anyone ought to know how to pronounce) and consistently mangled pronunciation to the point of distraction. Her portrayal of the characters was awful, with monotone, inflectionless male voices and often ridiculous, screechy female voices. If I hadn't known how great the books really were, I never would have made it past the first few chapters and I fear the series will suffer. it really is too bad, because the book itself is worthy of 10 stars. but the performance was horrible.

Great book! (Terrible Narrator)

I'm so glad to find this series on audio! My problem is with the audio. I think the narrator is fine but I have to listen at 1.10x or 1.20x speed, otherwise it drags so badly it's unusable for me. But I'm still happy its available!

Great book, some audio issues

Thoroughly enjoyed this story! Very compelling and the pacing was steady and strong. Loved the psi-elements and bonding concepts. The science was well done and intriguing.

Compelling and enjoyable!

I just absolutely love this series. I've read most of her other books as well. she's a fabulous author. I wasn't particularly pleased with the voice actor they picked for the reading of the book but it didn't detract from the main story too much.

Great series

The story kept my attention even though the narration of the main character was a little annoying. I did speed it up a bit - that helped.

Interesting characters and world

Thank you!

I love the Firebird series and the Audible version did not disappoint! not sure why several reviewers struggled with the narrator. She wasn't my favorite, but she did a good job. I have downloaded and listened to over 100 books on Audible and the narrator is definitely above par. If you enjoyed the books when they were first released, you will enjoy this audio version

Excellent book.

Excellent performance!

While I think the storyline and characters are solid in this book, I believe I struggled quite a bit due to the narrator. I struggled a lot with discerning voices as she did not have enough of a change in voices to help the listener understand who was talking at different times. I also struggled to understand a lot of her pronunciations. Something about how she narrated was incredibly difficult to follow and distracted enough from the story that I didn’t fully become immersed in the characters. I really feel this would be an awesome book to read and could be a 5 start with a different narrator.

Solid Storyline

Ever since I read this book and all of those in the series I have been in love with the story. It is such a joy to hear the greatest story retold in my favorite genre. Since I joined Audible several years ago I have waited for the books to join the ranks. Then it was just a matter of waiting for download day and to see if the narrator would pull it off. It is all I hoped it would be!

Yes!
