About this ebook
‘Set in a vividly realised world of elite Alphas and their ‘weaker’ Omega twins, it holds a mirror up to our obsession with perfection’ – Guardian
Paloma’s arrival, with news of Elsewhere and the possibility of a world free of the fatal bond between twins, has given Cass and the resistance a hope worth fighting for.
But they are facing a Council more powerful and ruthless than Cass could ever have imagined, willing to unleash weapons from the long-buried past to maintain their power over Alphas and Omegas alike.
As the stunning Fire Sermon trilogy comes to a close, a struggle has begun not only for the future of Elsewhere but for the future of the whole world. And what started with fire may end with fire.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5(This review will be the same for books 2 and 3.) This is one trilogy that I think finishes stronger than it starts. While it could be treated as some sort of allegory, treating it just as narrative is fine and enjoyable as is. There are some comparisons to the Hunger Games, but I think this series (with an admittedly even more outrageous premise) actually works better overall. Well worth the read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Forever Ship by Francesca Haig is the third and final book in the dystopian series entitled The Fire Sermon. This story takes up after Cass and the rebels that are fighting against the Alpha's and their plan to tank all of the Omega twins to ensure their perpetual safety. I found that in this book I did not connect with Cass as much as I had in the previous two books. She seemed more remote and withdrawn now that her visions of the the blast consume her frequently. Her relationship with her brother does bring an interesting dynamic to the story that was left out of the first two books. With the arrival of Paloma from the Elsewhere the Alpha's attempts to destroy Elsewhere and what it could represent become more desperate. Elsewhere has the medicine to end the twinning process and this means that the Alpha's would loose their superiority over the Omegas. All children born would be equal and there would be no Alpha or Omega class. That also meant that any child born could be born with defects or be perfect, but they would no longer have the fear of their lives depending on the survival of their twin. I'd be interested in seeing where the story leads with the other characters. I found this book to be a satisfying conclusion to the series though it remained a dark tale of a post-apocalyptic world.
