The author redeemed himself from the past book but just barely, it was a totally unexpected ending which helped and the book was not bad although not as good as it seemed it could have been, the narrators character voices were aggravating but at least understandable although barely with some like the harpy voices. I have to admit I'm kind of glad this series is over and erased off my computer now to make room on it for more worthwhile items.

This is almost a stand-alone story within the universe of Anthony's Apprentice Adept series. I liked it better than the prior book, so it was a redeeming end to his 7-book "trilogy." (The truth is that the original trilogy would have been superb if left alone!)
The one point of contention I had with the book was his portrayal of the suddenly-lesbian character (seriously, she's gone 6 books without being gay - while he explains it, this was obviously something he hadn't planned prior to the last book). In his author's note, he talks about how he didn't want to ignore the gay community in his universe, so I think he did have noble intentions. However, I'm not sure he's ever met a lesbian.

I enjoy Piers Anthony's writing style and characters. This is not my favorite book or series of his but I do still quite enjoy it and I would recommend it.
