"This book is amazing! Shade and Marina's son, Gryffin, gets sucked into the underworld! But the living can't stay alive there for very long, and there are bats that want to kill Gryffin and steal his life! Can he make it out in time? "

Firewing Listener Reviews

" A fun read for this book in this series by Kenneth Oppel. Griffin, Shade's son, gets into some trouble and his father must save him. Griffin is a lot like his father and has a lot of courage in this struggle of Gods in the underworld. I definitely liked this the least of all of the books in the series so far, but it was still pretty good. Definitely a fan of Kenneth Oppel. "

" Review by 12 year old son ... "All in all, it was a great book, but the ending left me hanging, almost literally. Not exactly the best happily ever after ending." "

" Another great adventure with Kenneth Oppel's bat family. It was a far more somber tale but with all the excitement and interest of the first two books. "
— Kayla, 3/25/2011 -
" I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I'd read the preceding books in the series as I felt like I was missing out a bit. I still enjoyed it though and if I saw other books in this series I'd read them. It had some interesting ideas and the characters were likeable and easy to relate to. "

" I cried like a little baby when Shade died. :( "
— Sarah, 3/23/2010 -
" Hmmm... a very sad ending to the series. In my opinion, Shade shouldn't have died. At least Nocturnal's afterlife world is nicer. *shrugs* "
— Amanda, 12/13/2009 -
" This book was the best ending to the series, I'm sure, anybody could think of. I read this book over and over, and cried myself to sleep at the ending.(That might be a spoiler for some people,I'm just warning you.) "
