This really wasn't worth it, I bough the book after I had read the first book in this series. I read a review of the second comic and it said that it wasn't worth it either and I am glad that I didn't waste any more money. The book was so, so, so cheesy!! This is such a let down compaired to the great first book in the series. Read the summary on wikipedia and don't waste the money here.

In this, the third book in the Avalon High trilogy, Ellie is intent on reuniting her boyfriend Will with his family and convincing to accept his destiny as a reincarnated King Arthur.

She's also running for Homecoming Queen.

I loved the novel that this trilogy is based on (Avalon High), but these manga (what is plural for manga?) don't quite do it for me. Even three books can't capture the original, and the drawings reduce the characters to caricatures. The books don't seem to be very popular in my classroom either, so I'm not sure that they work as a bridge to the novels. If could be, however, that manga just isn't the right form for me.

This review is from: Avalon High: Coronation #3: Hunter's Moon (Paperback)

It's finally arrived...the final part of the AVALON HIGH CORONATION trilogy. HUNTER'S MOON is volume three in this Manga series.

Ellie has to finally convince her boyfriend, Will, that he is indeed the reincarnation of the infamous King Arthur. The Homecoming Dance is just around the corner, and if Ellie can't get him to believe in himself by 10pm that night, all is lost, at least according to the Order of the Bear, the sworn protectors of the prophecy.

Morgan, a rival for Homecoming Queen, is out to sabotage Ellie however she can. And in the background, Will's brother, Marcus, is still a threat. But Ellie can't be concerned with either of those things. Her sole purpose is to make Will believe.

As the clock counts down, Avalon High's football team struggles to conquer their rivals the Barbarians. And Ellie doesn't feel comfortable in the dress that Jennifer has picked out for her to wear as part of the Homecoming Court.

HUNTER'S MOON concludes the series nicely. I don't want to give away all the drama and action that ensues - that would spoil all the fun! But as with the previous two Manga books in this series, the illustrations are lavish. The plot moves quickly, and is easy to follow along. The romance is sweet and appropriate for all ages.

For any fan of Meg Cabot, this will surely please. And for fans of Manga, they too will be spellbound until the final page and the resolution of the prophecy.
