A thrilling conclusion for the web of magic series!

I must say it wasn't the best in the series and it wasn't the worst, it was perfect. I am a BIG fan of the avalon series so right away when it was out I so bought it. Anyways now with the story which is basically what we are supposed to type about, Emily, Adriane, and Kara now finally have to destroy black fire... and all have a major part to fufill(i may have spelled it wrong!lol) the prophcey and compelets their destiny. First of all Adrianne has to deal with the dark sorceress with Lyra as Storm turns into mist to save all the mistwolves from these crystals stored with Blackfire! She totally saves the day but... there was a huge price to pay for that. Kara well we find out more about her and she gets once again in this spellsinging spell and is in the sorceress cluthes. Basically the sorceress captures Kara to make her open these portals with fairy map given to her by firemental, to get the unicorn. But eventually the unicorn rescues her and she sadly goes to Avalon which is UNFAIR they all had should, not to mention gets her unicorn jewel!!! Well the magor thing, Emily has to destory blackfire, break the crysatls that contain the mistwolves and most of all heal the mistwolves with blackfire but has help with Zach and later the mages. Well I shouldn't really say they ALL complete their destiny since in book 4 heart of avalon Emily compeletes anpther of her destiny as well so she has to heal avalon later. It was an excellent ending and ALL AVALON FANS SHOULD READ IT NOW!!!!!!!

Storm saves the day!

This is the final book in the Web of Magic series, but fear not, there is now a sequal series called Quest for Magic. I like this book because it has the most action and suspence since Cry of the Wolf (book 3). Everyone must use their powers in this book. They all get seperated when traveling across the Astral Planes to Aldenmor, Adriane and Storm the Mistwolf (my fav. group), end up in the cold Mts. of Aldenmor. Emily and Ozzie, an elf turned ferret, meet the elves they'd heard so much about from Ozzie. Kara and Lyra, a flying lepord, end up in an "otherworld" with Be*tween, the band mentioned in book 5. And once they meet back up again, they're on for the final confrontaion with the Dark Sorceress! Adriane and Storm are defenently my favorite characters, so my main complaint is that Kara alone is the one that finds "Avalon, the home of all magic", I think they should've found it together. I also think Kara played to big of a roll in Adriane's battle with the Dark Sorceress, Kara's intrusion in the battle kinda ruined it, I mean, maybe she could've helped, but she bassicaly was the one that finished her off. Adriane should have been able to do it on her own, or at least without quite so much help, she is the Warrior after all! But what no one can deny is that Storm was the real heroin of the story! A bit of a surprise, but without Stormbringer, the Sorceress's plans would have come to pass. Things don't turn out that well for Storm in the end though, it was actually quite sad, poor Storm... (If you are to sad at the ending, you could always skip to Ghost Wolf, book 3 in the new series.) Poor Adriane too... Anyway, great book, I would sugest reading the other books in the Web of Magic series first, but any fantasy fan should read this!

BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!

This book was the best book in the series, if not the world.Spellsinger wasn't that great, but this makes up for it. In this book, the girls get split up io different sections in Aldemor and have their own adventure, but togather they finally defeat the sorceress. Zach (yay!) returns and so does the Drake. It's very emotional in the end and I was crying(almost) with Adrienne. Luckily, Dreamer (wolf pup) was introduced and I can't wait to see what he does! This book is most definitly 10 star material. READ IT NOW!!!!From the first paragraph, you can guess that this book is all about Kara, but it's not. It's about all of them working as a team to find Avalon. An excellent closure(?) to an excellent series.

Best Book I Ever Read

At the beginning, when I started reading I thought this book was boring. But, when I really started to enjoy it, it just captured me. I used to HATE reading, but now I love reading all of Rachel Roberts books and I'm only 10.I think that if I could only read one of the Web of Magic books it woud be number 6 because it really shows what these girls were trying to do on their magical journey and you even find out about one of the three girls' past life.I hope that you will get this book and enjoy it as much as I did.

BEST BOOK IN THE KNOWN WORLD!

WOW! Trial by Fire is truly the best book! I laughed and cryed (Man did I cry!) I was extremely excited with all the danger and old characters coming back! Total adventure! Moonshadow, Silver Eyes, Drake, ZACH, and even the cute dratgonflies, they all come back! A good but sad ending.I cryed but had to be happy about it I guess. NEW CHARACTERS TOO! Rachel Roberts HAS to write a new book with Dreamer just added!
