But, and this is a big one, the belaboring of the incestuous relationships between the Minions and Minionettes, the abuse of women - and how much they welcome it - that is at the root of that relationship, all made this a difficult pair of books to finish. Anthony seems to have issues with the power dynamic between genders. It's possible that he may be using his novels as a medium for shining a revealing light on those issues but, at the end of the day, he comes across as simply too squicky of a writer for me to re-read much else by him. I may give Macroscope a shot someday as I recall liking that book when I was a teen but I know I will never re-visit the Chthon-verse or any of his Xanth books ever again.

Phthor is the sequel to Chthon, less intricately structured and less complicated in plot, but still quite dark and ugly in theme and detail. Rather than flashbacks and flash-forwards, it has a Y outline, with the stem the initial story and the ends alternate futures, neither of which is acceptable to Aton's son Arlo. Arlo has his own encounter with a Minionette, and naturally, destruction is upon him and all with whom he associates. Writer and editor Charles Platt was so impressed with the chthonic setting that he wrote two additional sequels, Plasm and Soma, which are even darker and grimmer.
