Well, I am finally at the end of all of the Xanth novels that I have read. I really do not know why I went through them all and wrote a comment on them, but I guess it is something that I felt that I had to do. I guess I really did persist through these novels, but then at the time that I was reading them, I was enjoying them, however I stopped here, for numerous reasons. I guess one of the main reasons is that I temporarily moved away from reading. While I would still read during this period o

I read at least five books in the Xanth series after "Isle of View", but I believe this may be the last one that I really enjoyed. Sure, there's all the usual silliness, plus a guest star from ElfQuest that appears completely out of left field (but that was for a good cause), and yes Piers Anthony ticked me the HECK off when he thanked a reader for sending in the answer to Dolph's dilemma after he'd "already written it the wrong way". (Gah, reader submissions. Don't get me st

This is the third Xanth book I borrowed from Matt (nobody bought them at the garage sale :P) and I was interested in it because I knew the dilemma of Dolph's betrothal would be resolved. I have to say, interesting solution...
Of course, a majority of the book concerns the quest to rescue Che, the flying centaur foal and the random appearance of Jenny Elf. I do like the parallels of the situation, and how some species in the series are maturing/changing, just like the centaurs (kind of More...

I remembered that I had read this, but virtually notng about it. I suspect that may be the case for moat of the rest that I've read before, from here on out because these next few I've only read once or twice before and it was when they were first published. In other words, it was when I was a sleep-deprived mother of infants and toddlers in the nineties. I can't even remember exactly which one was the last I read, so that will be a surprise, too.

Man from Mundania, the twelfth Xanth volume, intervenes between this one and The Heaven Cent, which I reviewed here earlier this year; but Barb and I couldn't wait to read this one, since it provides the solution to Dolph's problem of two Betrothees. And solve it Anthony does, in his own perfect fashion, with everybody happy (this is, after all, Xanth :-) ) and some personal growth that comes from making a decision to do the right thing. Others besides Dolph, too, will be faced with ethical di

Isle of View (I love you, too ^_^) was amazing! Jenny Elf is awesome! Poor Jenny (in real life.) God, I hope she's okay. I wonder what became of her. Anyway, an amazing Xanth book! WOOHOO! I once heard someone say that Twilight (bleh) was the perfect escape for a troubled child. Bullshit. The Xanth series is. Three cheers for Mr Anthony!

I read ths because my husband likes it. It was hard to get into and a chore to read at times. A cute story, but the writing was dull and dragged on.

I love you? no.. Isle of View!
One that is average on the enjoyable rating when it comes to Xanth. but a quick and good read. so, if you ever do read the series, be sure to read this one also. At least, read the first three before you read others. yeah.

Piers Anthony is the master of fantasy and puns. This series is funny puns wrapped around a good story. I've enjoyed everyone I've read. This is a great series for kids especially.

Great story because it resolves some of the problems caused by earlier books in the series, but not really his best.
