A review by ajmarquis
Juxtaposition by Piers Anthony

2.5

I will hand it to Anthony for this one; it speaks to some of the fundamental, uh, fantasies explored in fantasy and myth. To live in a just universe where integrity is rewarded both materially and with camaraderie. Stile's faith in all - from the horrible troll to the precocious wizard child and even to the honorable enemy commander - is proven justified. It remains a lousy romance and Anthony is too serious, refusing to get down in the dirt and enjoy the pulp nonsense of goblins with laser pistols fighting cyborgs riding unicorns. But, you know what? I'm giving this one the coveted "not bad" award.
