Split Infinity by Piers Anthony

5.0

This was my second time reading this book, but it had been probably 5+ years since my original time through. I really love the author, especially his Xanth series which I had started just prior to tackling the Apprentice Adept one. I only got through the first 3 books before I stopped, and which my 2015 Resolution to "Finish What I Started" I want to finally tackle the series.

Piers Anthony is refreshing, hilarious, extremely creative, and I love how well developed he writes his characters. The world of Proton and Phaze are easily imagined given through his writing. And of course, it is easy to get carried along in a story that can be categorized as both science fiction and fantasy. I found it a simple read, but at the same time complex given the detail he used to set each seen, and his colorful dialogue and vocabulary throughout. Who uses the word 'fettle' these days? I don't know, but I think we really should start. It's quite charming, and I feel a certain sense of freedom and inspiration diving back into his various worlds. Now to go find a 'curtain' of my own...
