excellent!

this is my favorite of the Xanth novels... Anthony's storytelling is at its best. he weaves all kinds of little twists and turns into the plot, and I was surprised at the ending. an excellent fantasy novel!

As Creative as fantasies come! Wonderful read!

This work of fantasy is tremendously creative. It is consistently inventive and imaginative. Piers Anthony is a master of writing original fantasy. All of his Xanth novels exude creativity and inventiveness.

surprising

Imbrium had lost her edge to scare. This might not seem so bad to us, but Imbri was a night mare, a bringer of bad dreams. It seemed that after acquiring half of a soul, her will to frighten had been shoved out. Also, her secret desire to see a rainbow didn't help much either. So her sire, the Night Stallion, retired her from dream duty for two reasons: her edge was lacking, and he had a mission for her. That mission was to save Xanth.

Loved it baby!

I have read all of the xanth books from number 1 right through to Night Mare in about 3 weeks. What started as a way to beat my depression after reading the crap that Jordan just wrote, has turned into a feeding frenzy. Anthony knows what fun is.

Most Action-filled Book of Xanth!!!

Piers has done it again! I have read all of his Xanth books up to this one. They are all good, but this one has more happening in it than the others! Mundane barbarian warriors think they've gone to war with a rival territory. Wrong! Well, they can't pull out now, so they decide to see if they can take over Xanth. A mysterious person keeps putting the kings in a trance and nobody know's how. It's up to a night mare to set Xanth back to the way it use to be!
