Earphones Award Winner (AudioFile Magazine)
The World Fantasy Award-winning third volume of the Lyonesse trilogy brings attention to the faerie changeling Madouc. Where princess Suldrun once meekly endured the proprieties of Castle Haidion, Madouc defends herself with rotten fruit. Vexed, King Casmir arranges a contest to marry her off, but Madouc has other ideas, and enlists the stableboy "Sir Pom-pom" on an impromptu quest to find her father. During their travels, they encounter swindlers, faeries, trolls, ogres, a knight in search of his youth, and a relatively pedestrian item known as the Holy Grail. As the sorcerers Shimrod and Murgen investigate portents of cataclysm in the world of magic, Casmir plans a murder that will bring all the lands under his iron rule; however, his ambitions will be complicated by one small but important oversight-he's failed to allow for Madouc!

This should have been a stand alone book.

And the vocal performance of Vance’s work by Kevin T. Collins is just fabulous. Towards the end of the book I found myself fairly amazed not only by Collins’ ability to come up with distinctive voices but to make them all believable. He’s a phenomenal voice actor.

One fantasy author to rule them all

This one was mostly about a little girl's quest to find herself, with the islands' story as the backdrop, which really only comes back to the fore at the very end.
More of a children's book, with exceptions

Follow Dhrun, Aillas and Shimrod one last time, as they are joined by Madouc, the quintessential Vance teenage girl, in an exciting and merry adventure across the magic Elder Isles. As always, beautiful landscapes and absurdly funny dialogs that only the great master could concoct!
Excellent ending to a masterpiece trilogy!

Would you listen to Madouc again? Why?
Yes. It is a complex story with many threads. The characters are interesting and the background the story is set against holds your interest. It is a lead in to Jack Vance's other works.What other book might you compare Madouc to and why?
It is similar to the others in the "Lyonesse" series and most of his other work. If you like Jack Vance - you will like this. It is a bit more complex than some of his "straight" Science fiction work.Have you listened to any of Kevin T. Collins’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but he is a competent performer.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No, but it really kept my interest.Any additional comments?
Recommenced for anyone who likes fantasy - Jack Vance laid the foundations for many of today's authors. A warning though, as with many fantasy novels, you will need to keep track of the various sub-plots and individuals who pop up during the story.Classic fantasy
