What a cap to the trilogy! I felt a bit irritated by the dynamic of the two mains in #2, all redeemed by the steamy hot tension between the mains in #3! Both emotional and sexual, and a truly phenomenally well-written negotiation of kink/fantasy scene. Plus a nail-biting non-romantic plot re: the fate of all magicians in Britain, and Marske's sharp, sharp prose, like this gem: "Alan's annoyance gave an enjoyable lash of its tail." The trilogy as a whole is a delightful and wondrous accomplishment.
