A Spell for Chameleon

This book kept me on my toes the entire time. Piers Anthony has an uncanny talent for writing stories that I can never guess what the next twist is. Or if I can, I certainly don't anticipate the way that the twist happens.

The story is really about subverting assumptions. Many times something or someone would seem to be what they weren't. Whether it was a threat, ally, or even inanimate objects, things would change form or moral orientation at the drop of a hat.

The characters in Piers Anthony stories are always so memorable. They're colorful, fun to read, complex, and funny/hilarious. I'm looking forward to visiting Xanth many more times throughout the series.
