Avalon: The Eternal Flame

The thrilling ending to the series is definitely worth the time to read the story.

The three main characters branched towards seperate missions to help save the world. Now when they realize that to do so they have to find unexpected allies from the oddest places.

Scree- As we left of from the last book, Scree (seventeen) is now the leader of the Bram Kie Clan a clan of eaglefolk that went down the drain from plundering and stealing. Scree makes sure to redeem them by going into the Battle of Isenwy. The thing I do not like about Scree's story is that it is too short. It kind of makes up for it by telling Brionna's story. But still there were only two exclusive chapters for the character.

Tamwyn Eopia- This daring 17-year old magician-in-training learned from the last book that the stars in the sky are really doorways to the Otherworld where the spirits live like Dagda and Lorilanda. Bad spirits like Rhita Gawr who is determined to rule over all the worlds starting with Avalon. Sounds cliche doesn't it? Anyway Tamwyn travels to the branches of the Great Tree and battles with Rhita Gawr up in the sky.

Elli Lailoken- A brave 16-year old priestess who goes to most of the realms to seek Kulwych the servant of Rhita Gawr and destroy the crystal of vengelano a crystal that cand wreak havoc in the world of Avalon. Doing so will make it easier on Tamwyn to close the doorways and on Scree/Brionna to win the Battle of Isenwy. They go to Shadowroot and brave all sorts of dangers like death dreamers and the mysterious dark elves.

The end of the story is so sad and touching because all the humans in Avalon have to go to Earth till they behave themselves and not get corrupt. I almost cried when Tamwyn and Elli have to leave their friends in Avalon -Mustachio Man
