Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not as good as its predecessor
Review: I finished the book but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as Black Trillium.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A good book overall. Well worth reading.
Review: I love this book and would recommend it to anyone. The only disappointment of the book, is that Orogastus, turns from a bad guy into a good guy. I personally thought that this was highly unlikely. Otherwise, it is a great addiction to a great series. I am glad she wrote a new adventure about the three sisters (MZB wrote about a later time).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great book!

Summary: A wonderful ending to a great series!
Review: I love this book! It finished up the Trillium stories in a satisfying and pleasing manner that made me want to smile.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very good book.
Review: I read the book after picking up the Black Trillium about 2 years ago. I went through about 5 used book stores to find this book. I recommend highly this book to any of Julian May fans out there.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very good book.
Review: In my opinion this was a very enjoyable and worthwhile read. I thought Julian May did a great job of developing Anigel and Kadiya, and I was pleased that she chose to follow up the plots of Blood Trillium and Black Trillium--that she focused on the three princesses. (I was quite disapointed when Marion Zimmer Bradley's book turned out to have hardly anything to do with Haramis herself, and was all about her successor instead.) Julian May also added a lot of depth to the history of the World of the Three Moons--the mysteries of the Vanished Ones and the creation of the Star Guild were finally explained.

My one and only complaint about this book has a name: Orogastus. It's just . . . how many times can you reasonably bring back the dead villain, come to haunt the sisters yet again? Oh, well. Since I was able to overlook that small fact, I really enjoyed the parts about Haramis and Orogastus and in fact I rather thought there should have been more about those two. I mean, the authors have gone to all the trouble of killing Orogastus (twice!!) and bringing him back (twice!!), so they might as well do something useful with the gimmick. And it worked out pretty well in the end, with Haramis and Orogastus able to come to grips with their mutual but grudging love for one another.

But somehow, I found their love affair more interesting in the previous books, when Orogastus was still the charming, dangerous bad guy, and when he still insisted to himself that his interests in Haramis were purely business-like . . . he had been a more convincing character that way. Now, it seems like all he ever does is walk around freely declaring his love, and somehow that deflates part of the tension of their relationship . . . I know, I know, the tension is supposed to come from the fact that they both love each other but are still enemies . . . but that doesn't work when he doesn't ACT like an enemy!! Um, wow, that was one heck of a complaint, but hey, at least they wind up together. Everything in the last couple of books has certainly been leading up to that. All in all I was pleased with this well-paced, satisfying story, and I really hope there will be a future installment in the series.

Summary: Best fantasy author
Review: One of the best book I've rea

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: for fantasy fans
Review: Sky Trillium continues the Trilliumseries nicely. The other four book and this one all have well developed characters, great plots, and a little twist in them to keep you interested. You don't have to but I would recommend that you read the other books before this one.

All the trillium books jump around from the view points of the main characters so no matter what kind of character you like one these will be your fav. espesilly since they are all very differnt in personality.
