I was really unsure about this - the book is fairly clearly written for teen girls, and I'm neither :-) The story starts out as looking like it's going to be a standard fantasy epic, with a kingdom overwhelmed by it's hated neighbour with the aid of an evil sorcerer, and the rightful heir forced to flee to the marshlands of her lost kingdom along with her fellow triplets where they have to learn their innate skills in order to win back the kingdom.. Some of the magic they employ, especially the sorcerer, looks to be a lost technology, though, and it's clear that the humans are not necessarily native to this world ( ) This is another of those books that I read a long time ago that I can't remember anything about: in fact I never actually remembered reading this book until I saw it sitting on the shelf of a second hand bookshop when (for some unknown reason) I was running my eye over the science-fiction/fantasy shelf (maybe because I was looking for something vaguely interesting, or at least the DS9 books that were set after the series, not that they would be any good, but then I can't really comment on books that I haven't read). Maybe that should have been a clue as to why this book wasn't any good. I can still remember books that I read in English in high school many, many years ago (Lord of the Flies for instance, or that book about the kid who stole a motorcycle and then proceeded to kill an old lady) but this book, I cannot remember anything about it. However, by perusing the comments on Goodreads I have noticed that not many other people though very highly of it either. Okay, it had three female protagonists and was written by three female authors, but that is not necessarily going to make a book any good. What makes me wonder though is how multiple authors sit down and write a single book. Do they write a chapter each, or do they hand each other parts of the book to write, and then come together and attempt, in some way, to merge the stories together. Or, as I suspect was the case in this book, they each take a main character (and maybe some minor characters), go away and develop them, and then use their developments to draft the book. I also suspect that they will also sit down around a table and try to nut out how the book will go (though that is probably the easiest part since a lot of fantasy writers these days simply take the plot of Lord of the Rings and change the names, isn't that right Terry Brooks?). I sort of wonder if there is anything else I can say about this book, and I personally don't think there is. It is sort of like one of those things where you get three famous authors together to collaborate on a work, and the work ends up failing abysmally. It is not really the authors fault, but then again I must admit that of those three authors, this is probably the only book of theirs that I have ever actually read (though I did read another book of Norton's recently and was not all that impressed with it).
Un roman agréable, bien mené, avec trois héroïnes attachantes et une histoire pas trop basique. C'est du conte de fées, mais de haut niveau. Les trois auteures ont chacune leur style, ce qui empêche la monotonie, et le souffle de l'aventure est là. Un seul regret : passer d'une histoire à l'autre sans cesse amène parfois un sentiment de frustration...

Three royal sisters must undertake separate but equally perilous quests in order to defeat the dark sorcery that has ravaged their kingdom in book one of the Saga of the Trillium, an ingenious collaboration by three classic names in fantasy fiction. Peace has long reigned in Ruwenda thanks to the magical protection of the Archimage Binah. The realm's devoted guardian is aging, however, and her magic is weakening. When the kingdom's triplet princesses were still infants, Binah gave each of them the mystical power of the Black Trillium. But the unthinkable occurs too soon, and Ruwenda is overrun by the ravaging armies of neighboring Labornok before the sisters, Haramis, Kadiya, and Anigel, have time to learn how to use their great gift. Forced to flee, the young princesses must follow their separate destinies through a dangerous and unfamiliar world of Oddlings and enemies-for only the combined power of three magical talismans can help them defeat the malevolent sorcerer who has brought chaos and death to their once-idyllic home. But it will take new kinds of strength and wisdom to confront the great evil that has descended on the World of the Three Moons. Marion Zimmer Bradley, Julian May, and Andre Norton, three of the most honored names in fantasy fiction, have joined forces to create an extraordinary world and culture in the first book of the remarkable Saga of the Trillium, a breathtaking tale of duty, peril, love, and magic.
