What happened to Avendesora,

[TheREDQueen]

when the fight ends in TSR  it states Avendesora only had a broken branch and some leafs shaken off.However at the start of TFoH it says it is burnt.

[Fains nose]

No it was seen burning imediately after or during the battle with asmodean. We should see it again in Aviendahs Rhudien POV in ToM

[Luckers]

It's actually a mistake. Early printings of the Shadow Rising cite the 'broken branch', newer ones have it burning, to make it fit with the Fires of Heaven. It still lives, however.

big problem i have with fantasy stories is their obsessions with trees.

:o That is so funny I had just listened to episode 4.13: Juggling Multiple Viewpoints of Brandon Sanderson's Writing Excuses podcast about a hour before I read this post. At the end of each episode they give you a writing prompt to practice your technique. This episode's prompt was to write a multiple view point story line with the main POV from a TREE and the other PoV's from people as they pass the tree   ;D

Sounds like fun, I'll have to have a go!
