Chimaera's Copper

This one might deserve 1.5 stars, but barely.

Piers Anthony's novels tend to be fun even if they are very often simplistic. But this book is the same damn story again. Dragon's Gold captivated me as a child. I loved it. By the time I got to this, the 3rd novel in the series, I was incredibly bored. Even as a 12 year old I was able to see that he was just putting a new skin on the same story just to sell a few more books.

If you want to read good Piers Anthony, read Dragon's Gold, The first 3 Xanth novels and the first Apprentice Adept novel. Then skip everything else he ever wrote.
