On a Pale Horse - Piers Anthony

Piers Anthony has a reputation for his creativity and verbosity - he s written more books than a large number of people have ever seen, let alone read. His more serious fantasy and science fiction novels are all good reads in their own right, especially his Tarot series, but I feel that it is in his Xanth books that Anthony really shines. Most of his novels tend towards slightly two-dimensional characters, and even in his more serious works he can never resist a good (or horrendously bad, ...
