McGarry, Terry -- Triad

Conclusion of a trilogy which started with a familiar "young misunderstood wizard runs away from home" plot, and got progressively more peculiar. I don't think this one is very successful, but at least it fails at something distinctive. The various narrators (at least one of whom is insane) try to deal with all the magical catastrophes that have befallen their wonderful magical homeland. Including the catastrophes from ancient history that led to (what we thought was) the original status quo. The result is a bit too tidy, considering its magnitude, but you can't fault its ambition.
