This is the first Piers Anthony book I have read and it got me hooked! Gloha is a half goblin and half harpy. She wonders if she'll find a half goblin half harpy man to love. So she goes to ask the Great Magician. Instead of giving her an answer the Magician sends her on a wild quest. She meets new friends and adventure is magically weaved throughout the pages! In the end she found friendship ... but could it be love? No, how could it possibly be love if he's her kind of creature???A fun read, full of puns and adventure!!! Recommended to anyone who likes or loves a nice book to smile about in the end! Have fun! :-)
Funny, punny, (as usual)...You get the idea!

This was actually the first Xanth book I read, so I was kindaconfused about some things... But that's not relevant. This is aREALLY good book, for all you skeptics out there, and I should know. Demoness Metria was a really good addition (or annoyance) to the plot. What happens to her and her husband afterwards, I wonder? Amso, what was that about the Region of Madness and the Mundane guy with the potato chips? Oops, that's irrelevant. This book is REALLY, REALLY,GOOD! (I especially liked that part with the stare-way. Woe to any girls in skirts!) ~Dragonblade
All hail Piers!

I found this book to be a beautiful love story, my favorite of the Xanth series. It is a humorous book filled with bad puns, as there are no good puns. Perfect for the fantasy lover and anyone else looking for good reading. Enjoy!
An excellent book for anyone who loves fantasy...

I loved this book, it had hilarious puns and an easy to follow plot that was extremely easy to follow. But it wasn't all a no brainer...some things left you reeling because you weren't expecting it. If you like Piers Anthony, this MUST be read.
very, very cool

This has got to be one of the weirdest books I've ever read. But don't get me wrong..that's a good thing! This is the first Piers Anthony book I've read, and I hope he has more like this.
