The Xanth books by Piers Anthony were one of the first SciFi/Fantasy series I ever read. I love puns so I have always enjoyed them. Upon re-reading them I can see that they have some weaknesses but overall they stand the test of time. They are a fun and fast read that keeps me amused without any deep thinking required. ( )

Another satisfying Xanth adventure. While I have enjoyed other recent books in the series more, this book was still more substantial than the earliest books of the series that were more about puns than character growth. Spending more time with Wenda Woodwife and Jumper Spider was time well spent. ( )
