Black Trillium by Marion Zimmer Bradley

This was a hard one for me. I read this book when I was a kid and I remember loving it. I really remembered nothing else except that I really loved the book. It's been on my list to re-read for ages. But man this was really a disappointment. I found myself so frustrated and wondering what it was I enjoyed about the book in the first place. The characters in this story were so cookie cutter, too stereotypical for me to really identify with them. I was annoyed with all three of the princess at different points.
Ultimately the ending of the story does get a little better, but it was a slog to get through. The last quarter of the story picked up pace and kept my attention a lot better. By the end of the story the character I liked the most was actually the character that bothered me the most in the beginning. Anigel was one of the few characters that did actually grow and change. I admit to a curiosity about where the story would go in the future when the authors were writing their own books. But I do hope they're stronger stories on their own.
