NightIntent Ah-ha. Very far in. How many books are there in the Xanth series, anyway?
Answer: Too damn many.
Seriously, Piers Anthony was once a talented writer but has burned out most of his talent writing crap like the Xanth series. I know this sounds harsh, but I used to be a devoted fan of his books until I noticed that Anthony was churning out the same books over and over, using the same essential plot but with different characters and situations. I followed the Xanth series from the first volume, A Spell for Chameleon but gave up after the tenth book in the series, as the stories were steadily declining in quality and Anthony was no longer writing them to tell a story, but only to make a nice fat paycheck at the expense of his readers. If you don't believe me, read the early novels in the series and compare them with the later ones. I also grew tired of the fact that his female characters appear to be brave and strong at first, but the moment a love interest appears they quickly turn into obedient little girlfriends who are only interested in getting married and making babies. Because Gaia Online is supposed to be a family-oriented community, I will NOT discuss the sexual fetishes which appear in his more adult novels or his obsession with certain bodily functions.
