This is one of a handful of books so bad, I couldn't force myself to finish it.

I remember really loving this fantasy series: three excellent books in one. I got it at a yard sale, too!

Stopped reading into the second book. Story is good but this is written for kids and the prose is just too juvenile. I can't take anymore.

I loved the book. I have read just the first story in it. It was interesting and different from what I usually read

Very tedious. Didn't expect more - I haven't liked anything written by Piers Anthony in years.

I actually enjoyed the first story! By the time I was reading the last story it was boring. If you like the story line it can be pleasing, but there are better fantasy books available.
