Summary: Loved it!
Review: This is the second Lackey Book I read- THe first being the Black Sawn. I think that this one is definitley better. I loved Ilya as a character- he's an outcast who gets beat up all the time and only has a few friends. He gets cursed by the firebird and that leads him to his journey. He goes to face the villian in his fortress for (of course) the princess. I liked how the princess wasn't "perfect" in the end. The story kept me reading and I thought that Ilya was an interesting character and so were his animal friends. It'sa great story and I'd recomend it to anyone who likesa good story.

Summary: A Wonderful Story
Review: This was the first of Lackey's books that I read, and to this day it remains my favorite. The story is fairly simple, and the motivated reader can probably get through it in one or two sittings. While in most books this probably wouldn't add to the story, it works for Firebird, because from the first couple pages, Lackey draws the reader into a unique world, with an ambience all its own.
I also fell in love with the characters. Ilya is likeable, but he's also a typical boy of that age: generally good-hearted, but also honest in his desires. The people around him are unique and have quirks all their own, and they come to life on the page.
I must have read Firebird seven or eight times by now, and I'm still not tired of it. I fell in love with it back before I became jaded by what the technical details of a fantasy novel should be, and whenever I read it, it reminds me why I love reading in the first place: I love hearing a good story. It will always remain one of my favorite books, and I'm enthusiastically giving it five stars.

Summary: The only reason it was not a five. . .
Review: was the rather rushed ending. I think that Misty was setting up for a sequel which hasn't yet gotten itself written.

Summary: One of the absolute best books I've ever read!!!
Review: What I love about this book is that it has reality and fantasy all in one book. It's on our earth and in a country that we all know of. Yet it brings us to know about magic. Russian magic and all their beliefs about it. At the same time it is a fairytale but in a more grown up way. I really love this book. I could not put it down, I was screaming with the characters and so forth. You really get taken into the story and you really start to love the main character in the book.

Review: Wonderfully written, beautifully descriptive- these are just two ways to describe "Firebird". Lackey is a great author and fantasy fans will love her work.
