Return of the Trickster

Return of the Trickster

"Return of the Trickster" is the third and final book in Eden Robinson's Trickster trilogy. It follows the story of Jared, a teenager who struggles with addiction and has a complicated relationship with his mother. In the previous book, "Trickster Drift," Jared moves to Vancouver, tries to stay sober, and encounters both magical and mundane threats. "Return of the Trickster" delivers the closure that readers have been anticipating, but it doesn't come easily. The book builds towards a climactic ending with an inexorable confidence. One notable difference in this book is the use of interstitial chapters told from the perspective of other characters, adding depth to the narrative. While some readers may not love this book as much as the first two, the ending and epilogue are highly praised. Overall, "Return of the Trickster" provides a satisfying conclusion to the contemporary Trickster story that Robinson has crafted throughout the trilogy.
