Centaur Aisle by Piers Anthony
3.0
As per most stories in the magical land of Xanth, this book was weeeiiird. I don't remember my reaction to the first three books in the series, but I'd say this was my least favourite so far. There were a lot of good story points and the humour was pretty chuckle worthy every now and then, but more so than usual Anthony's penchant to make comments about women (and in this case underage women) is preeetty creepy. I don't need to be reminded how hot a 16 year olds legs are once or twice a chapters.
The adventures through Xanth are always fun, and pun, with each monster, person and landscape having their own, fun gimmick. I'm forever in love with the idea of Talents.
Buuuuut like, as soon as we adventure into Mundania things start going kind of off the rails in maybe not a bad way?? But it started to hamper my enjoyment a touch.
Otherwise I'll keep reading Xanth and hope Mr. Anthony can hide his creepy sex pervert ways a little in the next book.
