Work of the Sun

An altogether satisfying conclusion to what remains, after Eliot, Jordan, Rawn and Martin, the best of all fantasy series. This is excapism in the truest and best sense of that word, a welcome refuge in an enchanted kingdom. Buy all three, set aside an afternoon and evening, or a weekend, and refresh your spirit in Edgerton's wondrous, magical world. You must buy, not borrow, because one reading is simply not enough.

I really loved this trilogy, and this book was a perfect ending. I do wish we knew more about Gwenlliant, but I know there is another trilogy about her. In this book, Ceilyn returns from his life with the wolves, only to have someone try to poison him and Teleri immediately. Meanwhile, the protective Sidhe stone of Caer Cadwy, the Clach Ghealach, has been stolen by Princess Diaspad. All of the men of the castle suddenly go mad and run off on the adventures of their younger days. All, that is, except for Ceilyn. He and Teleri set off in hot pursuit and soon meet up with Fflergant and Tryffin. Soon they arrive at the castle of ice that Diaspad has chosen as her stronghold. Ceilyn has a terrible fight with a griffon and is badly wounded. Then, inside the castle, Ceilyn and Teleri are isolated from Fflergant and Tryffin. Alone, they are forced to pass through a series of tests, only to find Diaspad at the end. Diaspad winds up unintentionally destroying herself using the Clach Ghealach. Meanwhile, Fflergant and Tryffin have killed Diaspad's twisted son, completing their triumph. However, their problems are not over yet. Ceilyn's wound lays them up for several days, during which he must finally come to terms with Prescelli. Teleri and Ceilyn have a terrible falling out on their journey home, and afterwards Teleri falls deathly ill from the harmful influence of the Sidhe stone. The only thing that might save her is unthinkable for Ceilyn. I won't give away the ending, but it does tie up all of the problems from the last two books as well. A great ending! I really love Edgerton's characters in these books, especially Ceilyn. I identify really strongly with him and his inner turmoils and bad moods. Her descriptions are also wonderful and make you feel as if you are there, watching. And the plot is fast moving and mysterious. You also get an inside look at the villains. What more could you want?

I found this book, the conclusion to the Green Lion Trilogy, to be absolutely the most enchanting book I've read in years. Every time I read it, I'm taken to a different world, and I sincerely wish it was easier to find more of her books.

After I read this last book of the Green Lion trilogy, I marveled at how hard it is to find Edgerton's works. She's great! Her simple, emotional, dreamy style is perfect. Almost like she's telling a fairy tale, but to adults. She's incredible
