Being a Green Mother

so-so

If there‘s one thing I‘ve learned in my reread of this series, it‘s that I‘m no longer fond of Piers Anthony‘s writing style. As a kid, it was direct and accessible. Now, I find it shallow. This book, like all the others, has the hallmarks of an interesting story that are buried underneath plodding structure and clunky prose. Plus that twist? I don‘t know, I found it a little laughable.

Being a Green Mother | Piers Anthony

#marchbookstagram series read 2+ times. The Bone Season series (although I ordered the 3rd in the special edition with the original series jacket art, not the art shown here. HP is a classic and I'm rereading now. The Incarnations of Immortality is so creative and I re-read before each new book came out.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk I love seeing Incarnations of Immortality show up in Litsy. I had forgotten those books existed! Takes me back to middle school. 8y

Ubookquitous @TobeyTheScavengerMonk Young'un.... I was in undergrad school when #2 came out. ? I was an English major and read them as an antidote to some of the more moribund of the "Western Canon" 8y

TobeyTheScavengerMonk I have often wondered if they would hold up if I reread them as an adult. The Xanth books do NOT. I read the whole series from 6th - 8th grade and still remember lots of details about the responsibilities and tools of the Incarnations. 8y

Ubookquitous I read maybe 12 of the xanth series and I can't imagine them holding up, but incarnations does, at least for me. I introduced my step-son to them and reread them then as well. Another by him I liked was Tarot Ever read It?

Tarot

TobeyTheScavengerMonk I tried the first Tarot book in high school and don't think I finished? Been awhile. 8y
