Date: 2010-12-29 03:40 pm (UTC)Which, you know, resetting the world to normal is kind of boring. (Also, didn't Eilonwy have to give up her powers or something to be Tristan's husband? It's been a LONG TIME since I've read those books, but I remember being really annoyed that the girl had to give up something to be good enough to get the guy.)
I'm trying to figure out when the first author to demolish that premise came about, and I would guess it's sometime in the seventies or eighties. Maybe Charles de Lint or Emma Bull? Gah, probably someone even before that. Anyway, thank goodness for urban fantasy (and its descendant, paranormal romance) for ignoring those former conventions of the genre.
