Ozark Trilogy #1 - #3 by Suzette Haden Elgin
Requirements: ePUB reader, 0.9Mb
Overview: The Ozark Trilogy (previously published in 1981, Doubleday) is a widely acclaimed fantasy/science fiction story with, as the title suggests, very strong ties to the Ozark region. Twelve Fair Kingdoms, The Grand Jubilee, And Then There’ll Be Fireworks—the books that comprise the trilogy—chronicle life on the planet Ozark and its Confederation of Continents, which are appropriately named Arkansaw, Oklahomah, Mizzurah, Tinaseeh, Kintucky, and Marktwain. However, the story told here involves much more than a mere transplant of Ozark culture and heritage onto a new planet. While this new Ozark culture maintains and even intensifies many of the “real” Ozark traditions and customs (for instance, “Grannys” hold significant, stabilizing social roles and are important sources of wisdom), the planet Ozark combines many new, fantastical elements with traditional ways. Mules on Ozark fly, and the wise “Grannys” also work magic.

01 Twelve Fair Kingdoms
On the planet Ozark, the continents are largely ruled by twelve families, each with their own castle and stereotypes. Responsible is head of Brightwater Castle, and when magical mischief starts discomfiting and discombobulating her kingdom's denizens, it falls to her to sort it out. No matter that Responsible only just turned fourteen--she's been trained from birth in languages, magic, diplomacy, and everything in between. She expects she'll be able to handle herself on a Quest to figure out the trouble.
And to her credit, Responsible does largely handle herself, although she makes mistakes as any prideful teenager on her own for the first time would. She tangles with cavecats, tormenting magicians, cursed diseases, and formal balls, and eventually makes it back home.

02 The Grand Jubilee
A few years in our future, a whole passel of folk from the Ozarks grow so unhappy with the way Earth is governed and so sick of its pollution that they settle a new planet far away. In the hundreds of years after landing they've created twelve kingdoms on multiple continents. Although there are certain differences between kingdoms (most notably the Travelers, who cling to a Puritanical mindset), they all prize independence, tradition, common sense, and to a certain extent, isolationism. The book begins with a grand conference that could be the making or breaking of a shared government between the twelve kingdoms. Responsible of Brightwater is doing all she can to make the conference, and the Confederacy, a success. As a girl in a society that rigidly separates genders, she's not allowed to have any official voice in the proceedings. And of course, everything that can go wrong, does.

03 And Then There'll Be Fireworks
Responsible of Brightwater, who has served since childhood to hold the planet of Ozark together, lies in a magical coma. Without her efforts, the kingdoms splinter into warring factions, the weather goes awry, and the magic that usually serves to cure disease, travel far distances in snap, or any number of useful things, wanes and then fails entirely. Bereft of their magical powers but still perfectly logical, a cabal of Grannies go to Responsible's older sister Troublesome and beg her to help.
