Knot Gneiss (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

Dare I say some of the more negative/surprised reviews here seem like they haven't touched the Xanth series in a while.If you have read the last 3 books, you know just what you're in store for, though there are a few less panty-related plot points in this one. (Finally)It's the same formula that revisits some of the characters from the last book. No huge surprises and it wraps up nicely with only a slight dip in speed around 40% through. Anthony seems to have finallllly moved on from his obsession with panties! Thank goodness! If the author had continued on in the same style as Jumper Cable and Air Apparent, this was to be the last Xanth novel I would ever read! Quite to my surprise Anthony did manage to put aside his teenage fantasies and write a real Xanth adventure! The abilities given to Jumper made for an easy Quest. There was never a moment of doubt that theyd fulfill their purpose & I did miss that element of surprise and suspense. Only a 3 out of 5 and I'm only giving it that because I really am still in shock that Piers Anthony kept his hornones mostly in check for an entire novel! Puns galore!
