1: Firewing
BOY.that was one of the greatest books... until the end! Gosh! First griffin(shades son) is trying to find the tree of life to get back to his normal world,but theres this problem.!!!SPOILER WARNING!!!at the very end, griffin gets bitten by his fathers dead worst enemy and dies, then shade commits suicide!!!??? You heard me right, dead,but since its the underworld hes aliuve but still has a body to uh live in.Right?? I hate thAt part but its not the worst!then griffin and the bat he killed at the very beginning (luna) get his life force, and go back to theyre world,while dead shade,making a stupendously unsatisfying ending flys through the portal and gets back in the world as a sort of nothing that can feel what its like to be anything,but can NEVER COMMUNICATE to anyone(not even other spirits). sounds more like eternal torment than eternal paradise.At the end you can just "assume" that griffin married the bat who he killed!and luna married the bat that she strangled half the life out of(literally)because he killed her.I dont realy understand the happy ending in that.

2: Horrible ending.
I liked Silverwing & Sunwing, but this is just bad compared to them! This should have had Shade as the main character, and should not have had him die in the end!

3: A Terrifically Planned Book
Kenneth Oppel's book is superbly planned out, and that can be seen by the way he piles every event like bricks on a wall.
It is a great read as well, and as soon as you start you can't put it down until the end. If you haven't read the first two books, though, this could be quite the challenge for you to understand.

4: A review coming from a Silverwing fanatic!
Alot of people don't like Firewing because it wasn't as good as the other two. It wasn't, but Sunwing was only a little bit better. Firewing was a very good book, and one of the few books I cry and the end. The ending was very sad, and I highly recommend this to anyone who has read the other two books!

5: So sad!!
This was a terrible book!! The first two in the series were amazing, two of the best books I've ever read, but the ending for this one is all wrong! Everything gets messed up because of that stupid idiot Griffin! I cried so hard at the ending. Kenneth Oppel should not make little girls cry. People everywhere, if you love Shade, DO NOT read this book! Just read Silverwing and Sunwing and then stop there. I really wish I hadn't found out that there was a third one. Although I'm still going to buy the boxed set of all three. :)
