Praise for recent Xanth novels: Â"Clio, the muse of history, has a problem connected with the twenty-eighth chronicle of Xanth. When she sits down to write it, she discovers that it has already been written-- and unintelligibly. So the scholarly lady must repair to the real Xanth, where she is sent by the Good Magician Humfrey on a quest to save two pocket-sized dragons, Drew and Drusie, who are essential to the environment of Xanth. Naturally, the quest is successful--Anthony does not trade in tragedy in his best-known series--and what is more, along the way Clio finds true love with the magician Sherlock and meets a good many of the ongoing characters in the Xanth series. If latest entry in said series features a more mature heroine (still obsessed with her figure, however) and less of the adult conspiracy and stork-summoning that has marked some of its recent predecessors, the puns for which the Xanthian corpus is famous are as numerous and outrageous as ever.Â" Â-BooklistonCurrant Events Â"Profusely punning his path through his 26th Xanth fantasy, the prolific Anthony focuses on a contest between Demon Jupiter and Demon Fornax, reviving to great effect the dueling demons theme from last year'sSwell Foop. Â'¦Anthony's latest offering is certain to please fans.Â" Â-Publisher's WeeklyonUp In A Heaval "Do you think the puns will ever run out?" a character asks early in Anthony's 26th funny Xanth adventure. "If they do, Xanth will dissolve into chaos... It is mostly made of puns," another character sagely replies.

Â'¦ A great series for fantasy fans, along with Terry Pratchett's comedy/fantasy "Discworld" series.Â" Â-Library Journal Â"The twenty-fifth book of Xanth deals with a matter of some gravity. Specifically, the Demon Earth has disappeared, which means that eventually not only some but all gravity will disappear from Earth and Xanth. Â'¦The search is fraught with Anthony's usual cargo of puns. A bit longer than some recent Xanths, this is also a bit better, and even those who find it more of the same are likely to enjoy themselves.Â" Â-BooklistonSwell Foop, Praise for recent Xanth novels: "Clio, the muse of history, has a problem connected with the twenty-eighth chronicle of Xanth.
