Interpretation As Books Black Trillium (The Saga of the Trillium #1)

Ruwenda is a pleasant, peaceful land-but the magic of its guardian, the Archimage Binah, is waning. Binah must pass along her protectorship to the triplet princess of Ruwenda. She bestows upon the infant girls the power of the rare and mystical Black Trillium-badge of the royal house, symbol of an ancient magic. While the sisters blossom into beautiful young women, neighboring Labornok use a dark magician to sunder Binah's protection. As invaders pour into Ruwenda, the Archimage orders the princesses to flee-and changes them to search for three magical talismans which when brought together will be their only chance to regain their kingdom and free its people. Each must accomplish her task separately-and to succeed, each must also confront and conquer the limits of her own soul.

Piece Containing Books Black Trillium (The Saga of the Trillium #1)

this book was...interesting. it took awhile for me to get into it because it's definitely a certain kind of high fantasy that has overwrought dialogue and reactions from characters, but once i adjusted to that, reading it got easier. i appreciated that this was a story about three sisters on a journey to fulfill their great destinies. it's not one you see a lot in fantasy and i did like how the authors worked to show the women changing on their journeys without losing the foundation of their

Great collaboration by 3 well know authors, thoroughly enjoyable. Will have to check for further books in the series.

Good, but not amazing. I expect I would have liked this book better if I were younger and/or hadn't read the various books that were written after it that drew on it for inspiration/etc.

As a standard fantasy novel this is a good example of an easy-to-read and understand the characters. The three girls involved go from their beginnings as sheltered (and dare I say spoiled) princesses through a journey of discovery of self.There are a lot of invented words, some of which are not well explained ('ell' as a unit of distance measurement for instance, it does not say exactly how far this is) but I didn't feel they impeded the text much.

I made a mistake and read the last book in this trilogy first. This first book is written by 3 authors one of which is MZB. It's a pretty run of the mill fantasy novel, (crossing over coming of age with "the journey") but it's well done. Which is probably why I went out looking for the second one right after I finished it.

I'm not sure what happened considering these are big names in sci fi/fantasy, but there is little 'showing' and a plethora of 'telling.' The main characters would make great supporting characters.

Honest to God, worst fantasy book I've ever read. Incoherent, predictable, and dull. Princess sisters whose personalities can be summed up by their hair colors! Red = hot-tempered! Blonde = Good, gentle, and naive! Black = brooding and mysterious! A reluctantly evil, yet handsome prince who becomes good through the power of loooove... for the pure-hearted blonde, of course. The entire book revolves around a magic flower. A magic macguffin flower.
