Summary: P.A. Does it again!
Comment: I am a 16 year-old guy who loves Piers Anthony's style of writing. This book has staked its claim at the top of my list of Xanth writings. Wow. This novel is full of twists and turns that keeps the reader coming back for more. Even if you have read ahead of this and know the story, you will be quite pleased. Che Centaur is the only offspring of his kind that he knows of, and he is protected by all the winged monsters of Xanth due to a pledge enstated by the infamous Simurgh, however, Che is kidnapped by Goblins. (Never good!) Meanwhile, it is a very short time away from poor Electra's eighteenth birthday, and Prince Dolph has still not chosen between the voluptuous Princess Nada Naga and Electra, the maiden he awoke from a 1000 year slumber, who has fallen magically in love with him. Naturally being a young man, Dolph is considering Nada Naga mor readily than Electra, despite the huge age difference between himself the half-serpentine princess. The book pans out in the usual Piers Anthony way, full of puns, twists and turns, and has a beautifully written climax that can literally take your breath away. If you like fantasy at all, you must pick this book up. Also, on a personal note, Jenny Elf is introduced in this book, and for those who are unaware, Jenny Elf is actually a real girl who has horribly injured for life in a brutal drunk-driving accident, when she was a young girl. Her story is also in the end notes of this book. It truly brings a tear to one's eye, and this reviewer's heart goes out to her and her family.

Summary: Isle of View (I love you)
Comment: Chex's foal, Che, has been kidnapped, with dire consequences. Not only is he the last of the winged centuars, he is also subjected to change the history of Xanth. Meanwhile, Prince Dolph has got himself engaged to two girls: Naga, who he loves, and Electra, who will literally DIE if he doesn't marry her in a week. At the same time, there is a rip in Xanth, through which strange creatures are coming through, including an unusual elf girl from the world of two moons, who winds up with Che. Che and the elf girl are rescued___by Che's orginal kidnappers. They need him to be a companion to to the potentialy only female goblin chief, who may make goblin males half-way nice. But as she is very near-sighted, she may be killed if this is discovered. The winged monsters are slowly leveling goblin mountain to get at Che, the rip in Xanth is producing creatures more powerful than demons, and Electra's day's are ticking as Dolph struggles to make a decision. *A true prize. Reccomended to anyone who has a brain that can think and imagine. 'Vonderbar' 'OohLaLa' 'Samia Charoshia' 'Tov Me'od' 'You get the picture'
