Publisher's Summary

The war everyone thought was over is just beginning.

Kira Forrest is a survivor. She's risen above the pain of her beginnings to become a war hero only to leave it all behind in the pursuit of a simple life. Now a salvager, she makes a living sifting through the wreckage of dead alien ships from a war that nearly brought humanity to its knees.

After her ship takes damage, she's forced to re-route to a space station where her past and present collide with dangerous consequences.

Kira's existence holds the key to a faltering peace treaty with the Tuann - a technologically advanced alien race who dislikes and distrusts all humans. Winning her freedom should be easy, but a powerful and relentless Tuann warrior stands in her way. Deceiving him seems impossible, especially when he strays dangerously close to secrets she struggles to hide.

Can Kira reconcile the pain of her past with the possibilities of her future? The fate of two races depends on her success.

Confused by reviews

One of the cringiest and overacted voice performances I’ve listened to on audible. The male ‘voices’ sounded like my little brother trying to do a deep voice when playing with his toys. So strange. If you don’t have a deep voice that fine, forcing it makes it so much worse. She also speaks in this weird lilt that was genuinely infuriating to listen to. I barely managed to get through it after changing the speed to 1.2x.

Story was ok but I’ve definitely read better. I got pretty bored of hearing about how incredible and powerful but simultaneously tortured and self-sacrificing the main character was.

Romance component was cringy and badly developed. The love interest is boring and always angry for no particular reason. They’re somehow obsessed with how strong and dangerous the main character is, while also being stupidly overprotective and telling her she can’t take care of herself. Make it make sense.

Definitely won’t be reading the rest of the series or any more from this narrator.

**WARNING: ADDICTIVE CONTENT**

I absultly love T.A White's writting style, and the firebird series is no exception.
great characters, awesome storyline and a smartass best mate thats a drone. what more can you want?

the narration is so well done.
cant recommend enough, but be warned, it really is addictive.

Over and over and over

I think this may be my fifth listen through this audiobook, I’m so addicted to the series; it puts me in my happy place every time.
A strong, wilful and highly capable heroine; a sassy, smart, hilarious sidekick; a scintillating backstory and endless possibility, this book has it all. The concepts are fresh, the dialogue engaging and the narration ties it all together seamlessly. Well done - you won’t stop at the first book :)

enjoyable but not a wow for me

first listen to this author and after finishing a novel by Michelle denier I must say I can't decide between Dark Horse or thus book. both are good and really well written. this novel had a few flaws that had me frowning. for instance an advanced race but no communication devices?
hmmmm. not to add spoilers so I'll say little, although I presumed that this might have been a key move in the authors writing.
it definately was different in regards to plot, and like Michelle denier there is no romance, (unless a kiss or 2 is romance to you)
too me, because of this I felt a lack of connection between the 2 lead roles. she is one strong badass and once your out there like that it's hard to reel her in, but when i read the dust covers of the next 2 books, it gave me an understanding of why Ms White wrote her character in that vein.
NOW****
.......possible spoiler alert********
*******
********
*******
what surprised me was no heads up with the ending on ANY reviews.
what has me annoyed is that this is a long book and if you want to know more then the next one is 16 hours and although everything interests me and I'd like to know more, I can't do it....reason...1. little to no romance. 2.
the narrator. Natasha is a first for me as well and I absolutely love her voice and inflections however her male heroes voice makes me cringe. he sounds like a baddie and I just couldn't connect. not game to try my luck with book 2.
so, all in all, great plot, decent narrator, unexpected ending, awesome journey ....

Nice reorganisation of period cultures.

An interesting meld of feudal Japan and bohemian cultures. Well worth the read. Looking forward to the next instalment of the story.
