With this fairly predictable but nevertheless amusing tale, Anthony ( Alien
Plot ) returns to the magical world of Xanth, a place where "appearance
counts for most of reality" and nearly everyone has some magical talent,
even if it is only the ability to change the color of popcorn. In this
installment, Gloha, the only goblin-harpy crossbreed in Xanth, attempts to
find a male goblin-harpy to mate with and thus become a member of the Adult
Conspiracy. After seeking advice from the Good Magician Humfrey from whom
she receives a non-commital answer, she embarks on her quest alone,
eventually joining up with a rejuvenated magician, a sultry demoness, a
walking skeleton and a formerly invisible giant, among others. The magician
Trent finally solves her quest by effecting a transformation. Trent surely
could have come up with this solution at the beginning of the tale, but then
Gloha would never have learned the meaning of true love nor would Anthony
have been able to string out all his puns and jokes (he tells of a painter
in the Mundane world who killed himself; named Van Go, he was one of the few
there who actually believed in Trent). Fans of the author's trademark humor
will relish this latest jaunt through the wacky world of Xanth; new readers
too will enjoy the fun.
