This happened to be the first book of this series and the first Piers Anthony book I read, because it was given to me. I was so entralled with the writing style and speed of narration that I became an avid reader of all this author had to write.
Book three in the Apprentice Adept series.
read as a child. re-read as an adult.
This is my favorite of all the Blue Adept novels. They are funny, interesting and enjoyable. My only problem is that the main protagonist is in my opinion terribly arrogant. He is taken down a peg or two but still seems to think that everything is coming to him. Reminds me a bit of the author who is undeniably talented but incredibly vain as well. Still has given me many hours of enjoyment.
