Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Forums

This challenge is to read a trilogy of trilogies and write summary reviews for all three.  That's nine books and 3 reviews in 12 months.  Trilogies are the cornerstone of genre fiction so what better way to celebrate what we love so much than a trilogy challenge.  This one has been designed to play well with the other reading challenges to make it easy to combine books.  Obviously the Book of Ones will work and it's pretty easy to fit it into any of the others without too much mental gymnastics.

So what trilogies are you interested in reading?  How are you going to fit it with your other challenges?

HRO - 2014-01-12 8:25 PM Love the challenge name and logo! Lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe. One potential problem I foresee, though, is trilogies that are only listed on WWEnd in the omnibus edition. For example, The Chronicles of Mavin Manyshaped by Sheri S. Tepper.

Ha ha!  Thanks!  As you can tell from that and my sig, I'm a huge Python fan.

I hadn't thought of that.  Of course omnibus editions count so if you choose one of those you'll just have one blank filled rather than 3 on the challenge page.  Not a big deal though it does look better to fill all the slots.

I think the Wool omnibus is a collection of shorter works in which case I'd call it a single volume.  At least that's what it looked like when I put it in our DB with the sequels Shift and Dust which make up the Wool Trilogy which seems to make the case that it's only one part of the 3 book series.  I'm not sure about that though since the author says it's 5 books but that the first one was a short and it was apparently released in installments online originally.  Of course it's 550 pages which is a pretty big book.  Perhaps somebody familiar with the books will chime in and let us know for sure.

You have set a high bar!  Good luck to you!  I'm not doing so well this year with my challenges overall but I'm almost done with my first trilogy so I have high hopes of finishing this one at least.

Congrats, ManyMoons!  Be sure to tell everyone in the other thread about your success and good luck with your other challenges.
