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

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.REVIEW: BLACK TRILLIUM by Marion Zimmer Bradley, Julian May, Andre Norton[THE SAGA OF THE TRILLIUM #1]I first read this classic in the 90's (originally published in 1990) and I remember being both astounded, and overtaken by joy. It was my first introduction to Julian May, though not of course to Andre Norton [who authored the first book I really remember reading, LORD OF THUNDER] nor to Marion Zimmer Bradley. I have stated many times that generally I am not a fantasy person; but in the hands of
Awful. Unreadably bad writing.

Disclaimer: I received this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Black Trillium was first published in the early nineties, a joint effort of three respected fantasy authors now turning their collective attentions toward a trio of three royal sisters who are fated to restore balance to the world.It's now being republished with a neat new cover but, unfortunately, the formulaic story with three heroines who may as well be stock characters for all of the depth they do not possess
I grew up reading Marion Zimmer Bradley and Andre Norton. In fact, I would go so far as to say that those two authors are the biggest factor in my continual love for the Fantasy genre. So it was with great excitement that I started reading 'Black Trillium'. While I finished the book less excited than when I began it, I did still enjoy it.The story itself was interesting, and I loved the idea of the three sisters with their own *and* combined destinies. However, it felt like the book was too
