Summary: It's good, but . . .
Review: Don't get me wrong, this is a very well-written book, but I found it vaguely troubling that it seems to have nothing to do with the other books in the series. And I'm not talking about the choppy chronology of the Trillium books . . . that I can overlook . . . what bothers me is that Andre Norton chose only to write about Kadiya. I've always thought the appeal to this series lies in the three fiercely different sisters. Haramis is my favorite, so I was disapointed that in the whole book she was barely mentioned. You'll love this book if Kadiya is your favorite triplet, but as a continuing chronicle of the princesses' story, it fails.

Summary: Superbly written, fascinating, the best story of the series
Review: Golden Trillium is the best of the Trillium books series. The fiery Kadiya is the only one of the sisters that is really in the book (Haramis is in a conversation or two), and so if Kadiya is your favorite, this book is a must! The series doesn't fit together perfectly, so don't be disappointed if this book doesn't match the others.

Summary: Readable, but I wish I'd known. . .
Review: I have to admit I've read better books than this. It was better than Black Trillium, which I found practically nauseating, but I read through Golden Trillium only because I kept thinking the plot would pick up a little. It never did-- at least not until the very end, where a novel's worth of conflict is squeezed into about two chapters.If you managed to plow your way through Golden Trillium and/or Black Trillium, read Marion Zimmer Bradley's Lady of the Trillium--it's infinitely better. If you haven't read Golden Trillium yet, do yourself a favor and check it out of the library, so you won't feel cheated.

Summary: I loved this book
Review: I liked this book a lot, I think It can easily be one of the best of the saga, the fact that Kadiya was the only triplet in the story troubled me a little but a part from that it was great!

Summary: Muddy
Review: I loved Black Trillium, and found Blood Trillium a worthy, if darker, sequel, but reading Golden Trillium only reveals what a thorough editing job May and Bradley must have done on Norton's text while writing the first novel. The story is vague, and the language impenetrable. I forced myself to finish it, but didn't pick up much. For Norton fans only.

Summary: This Book was very Intriguing.
Review: I loved this book...in fact, it is the book that took me the shortest time to read, in all the the series. But somehow it is the only one of the series so far, that is anticlimactic. I found No discrenpancies. However the story could have had a lot more to offer. Maybe more emphasis on the guy from Varm...more interaction from the 2 forces prior to the last 20 pages.....that is the only thing that disapponted me about the book

Summary: The book was okay, not spectacular, but okay.
Review: The story was relatively interesting, if a bit dry. The biggest problem I had with it was the lack of continuity with the rest of the series. This book chronologically takes place a short time after Black Trillium. That would be fine if May and Norton had discussed it, but the lines of communication apparently failed. If May knew how Norton was to conclude her story, she must have ignored it, because the character traits displayed by Kadiyah in Golden Trillium were not displayed by her in Blood Trillium. Overall, I prefer the Kadiyah of Golden Trillium, to her through the eyes of May in Blood Trillium. I wish that something of that had been carried on. The World of Three Moons did not seem the same world as that in the earlier works, or the later works. The appearance of the Sidonna didn't match the reference to them in the later works. It also did not have the strength of The Trillium due to the limited role of Haramis (maybe a paragraph), and the non-appearance of Anigel. I do not think this is the best of Norton's work. If you are interested in the ongoing storyline of the World of Three Moons, you can safely ignore this book and miss none of that storyline. If you are an ANdre Norton fan, try to find it second hand.
