Sky Trillium

Wow... It's hard to rate this one book when there is a wholeseries. You'll recognize lots of Julian May in these books. Youare taken into one direction then totally blown away in another.The series starts out kinda slow but then, watch out! I highlyrecommend the whole series.I was captivated to the very end. This is one of the books thatyou just find hard to put down.

Sky Trillium continues the Trilliumseries nicely. The other four book and this one all have well developed characters, great plots, and a little twist in them to keep you interested. You don't have to but I would recommend that you read the other books before this one. All the trillium books jump around from the view points of the main characters so no matter what kind of character you like one these will be your fav. espesilly since they are all very differnt in personality.

I love this book! It finished up the Trillium stories in a satisfying and pleasing manner that made me want to smile.

In my opinion this was a very enjoyable and worthwhile read. I thought Julian May did a great job of developing Anigel and Kadiya, and I was pleased that she chose to follow up the plots of Blood Trillium and Black Trillium--that she focused on the three princesses. (I was quite disapointed when Marion Zimmer Bradley's book turned out to have hardly anything to do with Haramis herself, and was all about her successor instead.) Julian May also added a lot of depth to the history of the World of the Three Moons--the mysteries of the Vanished Ones and the creation of the Star Guild were finally explained.My one and only complaint about this book has a name: Orogastus. It's just . . . how many times can you reasonably bring back the dead villain, come to haunt the sisters yet again? Oh, well. Since I was able to overlook that small fact, I really enjoyed the parts about Haramis and Orogastus and in fact I rather thought there should have been more about those two. I mean, the authors have gone to all the trouble of killing Orogastus (twice!!) and bringing him back (twice!!), so they might as well do something useful with the gimmick. And it worked out pretty well in the end, with Haramis and Orogastus able to come to grips with their mutual but grudging love for one another. But somehow, I found their love affair more interesting in the previous books, when Orogastus was still the charming, dangerous bad guy, and when he still insisted to himself that his interests in Haramis were purely business-like . . . he had been a more convincing character that way. Now, it seems like all he ever does is walk around freely declaring his love, and somehow that deflates part of the tension of their relationship . . . I know, I know, the tension is supposed to come from the fact that they both love each other but are still enemies . . . but that doesn't work when he doesn't ACT like an enemy!! Um, wow, that was one heck of a complaint, but hey, at least they wind up together. Everything in the last couple of books has certainly been leading up to that. All in all I was pleased with this well-paced, satisfying story, and I really hope there will be a future installment in the series.

The book was very good. I really liked the parts where Anigel had to take charge and help the prisoners escape. Kadiya was her usual self. I think that they should have given Tolo a better chance at using his talisman. Also the end was not at all what I expected.
