Her father therefore banishes her to an old garden, where she must remain till she will obey his will and behave like a proper princess, for the best for her country. The man, Faude Carfilhiot, he decides to marry her off to, however, is a somewhat magician, and Suldrun feels that something is off and refuses. How she grew up in this rather hostile environment and only become interesting to her father when he realized he could marry her away and thereby ensure an ally for his kingdom. It begins in Lyonesse and I was immediately drawn in to the story about the princess with an indifferent father and mother, with only her wet nurse caring about her. We’ve heard about this in the real world, we’ve heard about this in fiction.īut Suldrun’s Garden, is an amazing book. After reading it, and thinking about the story, you’re kind of wondering why you were so caught up in this, given that it’s a rather well-known and simple story, a story that has been told so many times before about a princess who is useless because she’s a girl and then becomes useful as a pawn to ensure diplomatic ties between countries. I’ll review each book below and then briefly summarize my thoughts about the entire series. Therefore, spoilers to book 1 can be found in the review of book 2 and so forth. This book contains all three books in the Lyonesse trilogy. Jack Vance: The Complete Lyonesse (Gollancz, 2010).
