Phaze Doubt by Piers Anthony
3.0
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.
