My intro to IOI

I was drawn to the book cover when I picked up this book. I began to read it and an hour had passed before I realized I had not sat down! I checked out the book and did not put it down til I read it all. Then I found that this was but one book in a series! I've read them all except the 7th book. Its been over 10 years since I read IOI but I remember this as being my introduction to the series. Not all of them are good reads but I think this one was one of the best.

A very young Chronos who grabbed an hourglass on accident.

I loved this book best of 'em all. I'm absolutly crazy about weapons, especially swords, so even the name was exiting. I'm eleven and flying through this series a book a week. If you like this series, read Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny. If I were Mars, I would slay all who oppose this book. And to let you know, Mym's former snake-ring now belong to Norton/Chronos and goes by Sning. It was awsome and very detailed. Who would have ever thought a Prince for Mars, I mean a PRINCE to be the incarnation of WAR. Anthony is a genius for writing the series. Even Xanth doesn't compare. I advise this for anyone who CAN identify GOOD si-fies.

Piers Anthony is not Human!

My first thoughts about this book was oh regular Anthony material. But this book is one of the best. If you read one book in this series read this one 3rd. 1st. On a Pale Horse 2nd. Being a Green Mother. If your an Anthony fan and haven't touched this series drop Xanth for a week and read this!

This is a totaly awesome book by Piers Anthony

I though that the idea of the Incarnations was genius and when I picked up the first book I could not stop reading.

Anthony shows a fighting spirit!

Let's face it: War is evil. Not in this series!! Anthony introduces yet another intriguing character to the INCARNATIONS series. It appears that the Incarnation of War has quite a few problems in the ways of love, but that is to be expected. The connections between the elements and the Incarnations are fascinating. Read it and find out what Incarnation you are most like.
