From Publishers Weekly
After high fantasy grandes dames Marion Zimmer Bradley, Andre Norton and Julian May collaboratively created a quest saga on the magical World of the Three Moons with Black Trillium (1991), May carried on the series by herself (Blood Trillium, 1993). Now, in order to save that world, the series' three sister-heroines must battle the power-hungry Star Men in order to forge a mysterious Sceptre of Power from the supernatural talismans that are relics of the Vanished Ones who nearly destroyed the world. One of the sisters, Queen Anigel, pregnant with triplet princes and dismissing herself as the least courageous of the three Petals of the Black Trillium, has lost her talisman. A second, Kadiya, warrior Lady of the Eyes, wields an impotent sword despite her dashing bravado. And the third sister, Haramis, Archimage of the Land, finds the third talisman, The Wand of the Wings, key to unifying the Sceptre, threatened by her unwilling love for Orogastus, leader of the Star Men. May traces her characters' paths through the inevitable bog, battle, ambush and torture chamber. She cloaks their predictable travails in a colorful but unconvincing otherworldly atmosphere and allows her stereotypical supporting cast to clog the action with comic-book dialogue. Orogastus finally surrenders to Haramis not with a manly bang but with a whiny whimper, a dismal anticlimax to a series that sprouted so promisingly.

From Booklist
Andre Norton and Marion Zimmer Bradley helped with its predecessors, but the third Trillium novel is a solo effort by saga cocreator Julian May. It opens with evil magic from the ancient "war of enchantment" reasserting itself and unleashing a host of natural disasters. Only the Sky Trillium can defeat this evil, and only the talismans of the three princesses in unison can control the Trillium. Unfortunately, one talisman is missing, another has lost its power, and common court intrigue threatens to sabotage the search for the lost one and the relationship of the three princesses. The princesses remain engrossing characters, and the rest of the story, though leaning more toward standard fantasy than its predecessors, displays May's usual brisk pacing, command of the language, and deftness at world building. Maybe this is not the book with which to start the saga, but it is an admirable continuation of it that will gratify readers already hooked by it.
