Piers Anthony has a great imagination. His books seem to be written for a younger crowd but I still enjoy his work at 27. Read the series it is worth while.
It was good, but I thought parts of it seemed redundant.

I enjoyed this book. But a lot of times I noticed that there would be a chapter focusing on one character for awhile while he/she interacts with another character. Then there would be a chapter focusing on that other character going over some of the same things that were covered in the previous chapter. It wasn't something that really detracted from the quality of the book, but, like I mentioned, it got redundant. I liked how Mach started to show some ability at magic, and then later in the book he becomes the Robot Adept. It was also pretty interesting how Mach and Bane had their competition at the end and they competed against each other while one was in Proton and the other was in Phaze. Especially when they had physical matches and the technology wouldn't work in Phaze and magic wouldn't work in Proton.I would recommend the book.
A good book with an interesting plot.

This is an overall solid book, not great, but also not terrible. I thought the idea of having two worlds, one Science based and one Fantasy based with elements not working outside of their native world to be brilliant. (ie, technology doesn't work in the fantasy world, and magic doesn't work in the science world.) It's the middle in a series of books, and seems like I might enjoy it more if I read the other books as well. Still, overall, it's a very good book.
