The Xanth series is one of my favorites. D. Metria is one of the more complex, and enjoyable, characters in Xanth.Read in 1995 when it was new. This is where I gave up on Xanth, because I knew if I kept trying I would lose even the nostalgic affection I had for remembering enjoying it as a tween. This coincided with a couple other disappointments and the creeped-out feeling Anthony gave me generally as a dirty old man, so that this was pretty much the point at which I gave up on his books entirely (I did buy and read the final book in the Mode series because I'd been waiting so long, but aside from that
O....kaaaay, so this is my first Xaneth book that I randomly picked up and read, and I'm trying to figure out if this was a bad place to start the series, or if this series is just plain weird. Lol.I had absolutely NO IDEA what was going on. XD I can handle weird stories, but this was just a little TOO weird. ...and random. Nothing really made much sense to me, hahaha...(Disclaimer: I had no idea this book was the 19th book in the series until I searched for it on this site. -_-; I'm going to
What a delight the Xanth series is!
He's back LOL. Quite a number of the past books in this series, I had serious doubts that they were actually written by Peirs Anthony and if so he was tired or something. They just lacked something but this book was back to normal and thank heavens. I ran through it as fast as I could considering all the stuff that kept me away and laughed and groaned right to the end. Hopefully the rest continue.
Brilliant! This the 19th novel in the Xanth series brought in characters from the past and gave clarity to some past events.
#19 in the Xanth series. If you like fantasy and puns, this is the series for you.
