3.0

Probably the best of the three books in the trilogy. Though it comes last chronologically, it was written first. Also the most explicitly gay, though sadly much is left unsaid, often to the point of unfathomable ambiguity. The magic realism is also at its strongest, when in the two other books the marvellous could be ascribed to Tom's imagination, in this volume, magic spills over and affects other characters to the point of being undeniable.
