Product Description
Product Description
The creation of three of fantasy's stellar talents, the Trillium Saga is a tour de force of magic, mystery, and romance. Now best-selling author Andre Norton picks up the story she began with Julian May and Marion Zimmer Bradley--a story that continues with a perilous quest into darkness. . .Once the famed triplet princess who defeated the evil sorcerer Orogastus, Kadiya ventures forth into the choked swamp lands of Ruewena to seek her own destiny among the Oddlings she once led in battle. Armed with her mystical three-eyed sword, she reaches the lost city of the Vanished Ones and discovers a strange race of dream-catchers, called Hassitti, whose visions bring chilling warning of a lethal plague that sows the land with death. Now Kadiya, with only three comparisons to aid her, journeys into the Thorny Hell, realm of the cannibalistic saurian Skritek, to stop the carrier of the evil disease. Here they discover a portal leading to a universe of awesome darkness--an entranceway to a horror that threatens the very existence of The World Of The Three Moons.

The book was okay, not spectacular, but okay.
18 Oct 2001
Format:Hardcover
The story was relatively interesting, if a bit dry. The biggest problem I had with it was the lack of continuity with the rest of the series.
This book chronologically takes place a short time after Black Trillium. That would be fine if May and Norton had discussed it, but the lines of communication apparently failed.
If May knew how Norton was to conclude her story, she must have ignored it, because the character traits displayed by Kadiyah in Golden Trillium were not displayed by her in Blood Trillium.
Overall, I prefer the Kadiyah of Golden Trillium, to her through the eyes of May in Blood Trillium. I wish that something of that had been carried on.
The World of Three Moons did not seem the same world as that in the earlier works, or the later works. The appearance of the Sidonna didn't match the reference to them in the later works. It also did not have the strength of The Trillium due to the limited role of Haramis (maybe a paragraph), and the non-appearance of Anigel.
I do not think this is the best of Norton's work. If you are interested in the ongoing storyline of the World of Three Moons, you can safely ignore this book and miss none of that storyline. If you are an ANdre Norton fan, try to find it second hand.

It's good, but . . .
2 Sep 1998
Format:Paperback
Don't get me wrong, this is a very well-written book, but I found it vaguely troubling that it seems to have nothing to do with the other books in the series. And I'm not talking about the choppy chronology of the Trillium books . . . that I can overlook . . . what bothers me is that Andre Norton chose only to write about Kadiya. I've always thought the appeal to this series lies in the three fiercely different sisters. Haramis is my favorite, so I was disapointed that in the whole book she was barely mentioned. You'll love this book if Kadiya is your favorite triplet, but as a continuing chronicle of the princesses' story, it fails.

powerful tale of conquering self doubt for the greater good
23 Mar 1997
Format:Paperback
This has to be one of Andre Norton's best book ever. However, there's a great deal of discontinuity in this story with thoses written by M Bradley (Lady of the Trillium) and J May (Blood Trillium and Sky Trillium). Andre Norton has set her story straight after the triplets defeated Oragastus (the first time). But J May wrote about two further encounters with this dark magician. And M Bradley set her story far far into the future (generations after the Black Trillium) and made no mention of the loss of the talismans.
I suggest that people read J May's Blood Trillium and Sky Trillium first before reading A Norton's Golden Trillium and, lastly, M Bradley's Lady of the Trillium to get a better feel of the stories without being time warped.
A must read for all Trillium fans and Norton fan
