Semi-essential in the chronology, but felt far too long. The main part just dragged. I really feel 100+ pages could have been cut with little lost. But it was almost worth it for the last section.

What gifts might you be squandering due to ...
A very nice story of how guilt can be useless and overwhelming, as well as a very very good story of redemption.

This conclusion to the Clingfire trilogy is indeed epic. Varzil the Good and King Carolan are working to spread the Compact throughout the kingdoms of Darkover, hoping to once and for all cease the manufacture of clingfire and other weapons of destruction. Dyannis is struggling in her path to become a woman Keeper while Eduin is still under the compulsion to kill Varzil and Carolan.
While parts of the story were a little slow, I found that overall A Flame in Hali is excellent, especially the ending. The characters struggle with choice vs compulsion, war vs peace, and love vs duty, all weighty concerns that are given due consideration here.
I'm greatly enjoying my journey through the Darkover series, whether I'm rereading or finding some books I've missed. This trilogy was not one I read before but it is an essential read in the history of the planet.

This one was a struggle, so much should have been cut. Way too much Eduin and Saravio. I was left with the question what happened to Alderic and was he Orain's son? I was engrossed in all the Varzil and Dyannis and Carolin parts.
