Time for Xanth

Time for Xanth
If you're unfamiliar, it's the magical land created by Piers Anthony

I grew up reading his books, enjoying them immensely.

If you've read the works of the Xanth series, what is your favorite part of the land?

Why does your Xanth link send me to IMDB ('Fatima' 2020)?

Quite like the series (though I preferred his 'Incarnations of Immortality'), but in all fairness, the later novels seemed like Anthony was trying too hard.

Favourite novel: Ogre, Ogre.  Favourite area: Gap Chasm.

"Incarnations of Immortality" was the one where we wound up with a new God?

Grrr, sometimes links don't copy when I copy them. Anywho, it's been fixed.

Yes, right at the end of the last book.  God was determined to have been derelict in his duty and was replaced.

Took me a while to find it, since it has been ages since I've read the books:

My favorite character was always Metria

In the U.S., I grew up to prefer Imperiala.
Disappointing theists since 1968!
