My latest reading of this book is the second time I have read this book. I enjoyed it just as much this second times I did the first time through many years ago (before e-readers were even thought of). Seeing Grundy treated as a major character is interesting, as it gave the character a chance to really develop.

I quite enjoyed this entry into the xanth series up until the end. I feel like it could of had a better ending more on par with previous books. Still a blast to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun book, introducing new areas and characters.
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2015

This is another of Anthony's books that deals with issues of how the characters see themselves and readers can relate to the issue of feeling like your not good enough when others don't see you that way. It also deals a little with coping mechanisms and interracial relationships.

Besides that, it's a fun read that introduces you to new areas and characters, as well as a few old faces. Again, like most of this series, it just continues to build on itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really like how puns are used by the Author

I really like how puns are used by the Author, "Piers Anthony". I love this series so much, I have purchased all the books of this series, as I have of, "Incarnations of Immortality". The Incarnations of Immortality" is the first book of that series, as of "Bearing an hourglass", "With a tangled skein", "Wielding a red sword", "Being a green mother. If you are into fantasy, and reading of literal puns, you should love this book.

I read all xanth novels years ago but decided to revisit series and been very happy and enjoyed so far. Prices of books to this point are reasonable but all the kindle books going forward seem to have doubled in price for this series so i think this is end of road for me. Great series but watch for doubling of price changes.
