Demon by John Varley

Demon vs God
The story comes to an end. Scirocco Jones, met Gaea in the first book, Titan. She learned that Gaea wasn't the benevolent ruler that Gaea wanted everyone to believe in the second book, Wizard. In this book, Demon, Scirocco and her band of merry men (and Titanides) are on the outs with Gaea. This leads to a new adventure across Gaea's landscape to try to find a way to defeat the "wicked witch". But, is Gaea the witch, or is Scirocco.
This is an interesting world, and the main characters are fairly well developed over the series. Several characters from the first book are brought back, and given a nice completion to their arcs. Maybe completion is too definitive a word, let's say it's nice to see them back and given a chance to make a difference after all they've gone through.
The writing is dated and some people may be offended by certain aspects of the story, but I guess that is the case with almost any story written before 2000.
