“The Burning Swift” by Joseph Elliott is the third and final installment of the Shadow Skye trilogy, a teen fantasy series set in a mythical version of Scotland. Our protagonists come from different clans: Agatha is a Hawk, Jaime is an Angler, and they partner with Sigrid who has an amazing memory. They must unite Scotia and the Isle of Skye against the coming war.

Fans of fantasy, especially those who enjoyed the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander, will feel at home in this series. The characters are unique and keep the novel from being just another standard fantasy. Not a must-buy, but the series is a good additional purchase at libraries where teen fantasy is popular.
