Noioso e lentissimo, Haramis - nel Giglio Nero - era stata la protagonista che avevo preferito, ma questo seguito che s'incentra sull'apprendistato della giovane allieva di un'ormai ultracentenaria principessa è stata una gran delusione.

Book 4 in the Saga of the Trillium (a collaboration between Marion Zimmer Bradley, Andre Norton, and Julian May). This one is by Marion Zimmer Bradley. In publishing order, this one is book 4, but in terms of the story is more like book five.
Not as connected to the rest of the series, this installment leaves two of the three princesses behind and focuses on the aging Archmage, Haramis and her relationship with her successor, Princess Mikayla.
Focused more on misunderstandings between the old and the young than on the battle between good and evil, this part of the story is much more character-driven than previous entries.

This was the most creepy of all the Trillium books in my view!
I love my friends but even if I was going to out live them I'd never turn them into a talking musical instrument!
And there's some blood sacrifice later that we all knew was coming except the heroine because ... plot device.
Of all the Trillium books that followed the original 'Black Trillium' I will give that this one was the best of the lot.
But the lot was not so hot so...
Recommended for die hard fans only!

The last of the Trillium books, I kept putting off reading this one because after this there is no more. I have enjoyed every book in this series. It’s set in such an interesting fantasy world, with touches of science fiction, and there is obviously a fascinating back story to the world yet it’s only hinted at never told.
This story is about the last surviving sister from the other Trillium books. Haramis is the Arch-mage and her magic has prolonged her life long after her other sisters are gone. But her powers are failing and when she has strokes the land suffers changes. She takes her niece Mikayla to train as the new arch-mage. Mikayla is reluctant especially when Haramis tries to separate her from her childhood friend and intended.
