The best of the best of the Xanth series

It is a very interesting and intriguing book with many twists and turns it is a book taht you just can't put down. You don't HAVE to have read the other Xanth books, but it helps if you have read the other books. I really liked it, but make sure you like fantasy for this book.

The Illest Wind of All

Yon Ill Wind is a fantastic Xanth book. It has all the elements of a great fantasy book, characters, setting and a wonderful plot. The irony of the Demon X(a/n)th first seeing Chlorine at the beginning of the book, was too much. Peirs Anthony really out did himself this time. He has great literary mind and writes like i would like to write one day. I suggest this book to all fantasy lovers because once you even glance at it you will be mysteriously intrigued by all that he writes.

my favorite book

It's a book about a selfish demon and an abused girl who come together by accident. The demon Xanth has to try to make her shed her last tear, but there's no time for that because they have to help a mundane family and try to defeat a hurricane. The ending brought tears to my eyes. Yon Ill Wind is truly one of Piers Antony's best books that he ever wrote and I personally loved it. I've been reading Piers Anthony books since I was 10 or 11, (I started with Being A Green Mother) and Yon Ill Wind is my favorite!!!

The Best of the Xanth novels in awhile

I have been an avid reader of Piers Anthony's novels, I've read and own all of the Xanth series, as well as a number of his other series. And I must say that lately, the Xanth novels have not been quite as good, lacking in the original creativity that first attracted me to the series, but with this one, I believe life is once again breathed into the magical books. Dont' miss it!

Nice! Different, unusual Xanth novel.

I liked it! Why? Well, first of all because I like all Xanth books, they might not have strong themes but their /fun/ to read, take your mind off the every day worries. Then, its different... very! It has more than just puns, it's a little sad, and there's a lot of different, new ideas. I loved the idea of the demon X(A/N)th living in Xanth, and all the rest of them. And again, it's more serious than usual, for those of you who like that. READ IT!
