In his way, the author is trying to support women's equality, but it is just a little too condescending from the height of male superiority. The horses are a little too fantasitical for meI think this is the only Anthony book I've ever read. I don't know why I never read more of him so I could have the horrific double-vision OH GOD NO experience later in life so many of my GoodReads peers did. I mean, that sounds so appealing! ....I think I was distracted by Le Guin.
This is his most heart-wrenching Xanth novel. It can't be my favorite but it might be his best written. Certainly the most intense.
This, the 6th Xanth book, is sort of hit or miss for me. On one hand, it is the first time that we get a female protagonist and it turns out that Piers does just fine writing for the opposite sex. It also continues the new trend from the last book of having a non-human protagonist. She's a horse. Well, more correctly a night mare which is a horse which delivers dreams. Imbrium has found herself changed from the other night mares after gaining part of a soul at the end of the previous book and as
Very enjoyable.
The story works very well as a culmination of the books that had followed. Seeing most of the main characters from preceding books play, sometimes small, yet useful parts in the story was quite enjoyable. While I didn't find myself to invested in the main heroine, I still found her a fine character and a fine catalyst for the stories monumental war on Xanth.
Like the point of view the story follows.
