review 1: This book stands out to me especially because of one detail which showed a hint of something otherwise I've found lacking, while still skirting the standard "fantasy conservative" lines that Xanth has otherwise held to. (I don't want to give anything away.) I kind of hoped he would take it one step further, but he didn't and I'm not surprised or precisely disappointed. Still, the hint of it was a nice touch at least and it was another fun romp through the world of Xanth.
review 2: Full disclosure: A Spell for Chameleon was the book that started me on the road to becoming the bibliophile I am today. I adored that book and blame my love of puns and punsmithing on the Xanth series.That being said this installment of the Xanth series (which I had stopped following... more around the 18th or 19th book) was simply terrible. The characters were remarkably flat, there wasn't a challenge in the course of the book, save for the final one, that lasted more than a page or two before being overcome, the female characters seemed to be there just for some T&A, and the puns seemed both contrived and forced.If it didn't say Piers Anthony on the cover I would have taken it as a parody of the Xanth novels given how all of the tell tale qualities of Xanth novels (adult conspiracy, the power of panties, puns, etc.) was massively emphasized.It was a terrible, boring read and I would warn others away from even making eye contact with it. less
