Magic's Price

This trilogy far exceeded my expectations. The third and final book is every bit as deep and exciting as the first two. Picking up this third one was like hanging out with an old friend. The prose continues to be as warm as in the first two. Perhaps it was because I read all three in order and without interruption that I felt like I really knew the main character Vanyel. I was cheering for his new relationship while at the same time, completely empathizing with his hesitancy. At first I thought that more about him couldn't be revealed, but he continued to grow, albeit slowly, in his new relationship, with his family, and with his power. This book won the Lambda Literary Award for Science Fiction/Fantasy in 1991.
