My Ratings 5/5
Synopsis
A djinn banished long ago has found his way back into Avalon, and he’s taken Genie’s, Whit’s, Mei’s, and Beth’s parents hostage. In exchange for their lives, he wants an ancient artifact. With it, he’ll conjure a spell that will destroy all of time as we know it in order to restore something that was taken from him centuries in the past. Then, before anyone knows what’s happening, he snatches Mei, whose ancestral ties can help him unlock his palace and its sinister secrets on Bottle Isle.
With the lives of their parents and Mei on the line, Beth, Whit, and Genie will need to split up in hopes of retrieving the artifact while also finding a way to set a trap for the evil djinn. Queens Guinevere and Nimue, along with Whit and Beth, will travel to the land of the dead on an ancient Egyptian solar barge. Meanwhile at the Library of Ancients, as Genie is investigating ways to foil the djinn’s plans, something strange begins to happen to her. She’s aging rapidly and losing strength with each passing day. While Morgana searches for a cure for Genie, Viviane must try to unlock the djinn’s final secret: his true name. If they can discover that, they can destroy his power.
However, there’s one final task that only Genie can complete. If they’re to stand a chance against the djinn army to free their parents and Mei from captivity, Genie must find a way to awaken the land of Avalon.
My Thoughts
Very nice and interesting. At some places i literally felt goosebumps on my skin.felt really satisfied at the end. A perfect end to a perfect series. Totally worth reading. These books just got better and better. I know they say they are for young adults - definitely not a young adult as I'm nearly 40 but I found these books unputdownable. You become invested in the characters and can't wait to find out what happened next. Glad I didn't read them years ago, so was able to read the whole series one after the other. My husband is just finishing them now and he feels the same. There isn't any real differences in plots or story when you start the next book, it's like you've just started a new chapter where usually with books in a series. Hopefully I'll pick up the next book soon as I've bought them all. Not rated it lower as I have enjoyed the books.
The story has a very original premise, with youthful central characters surrounded by an infusion of legendary characters from mythology, folklore, history and the spiritual world. The young heroes are easy to relate to, as are the themes of struggling against the odds, relationships, family, respect and acceptance.
Highly Recommended!
