Summary: This was a great book!!!
Review: Hey, I love the Mode series books, if you haven't read this book yet you might not want to read further-- I'm going to mention things you might not want to know. First off, congrats to Darian and Colene, but also, I give my regards (trying to not spoil here). Although I like these books, I'm kinda wishing Anthony would get them to Darian's world already, but between that they sure do have hectic tavelings! Okay, listen up, anyone who knows when the 4 Mode book is coming out, and possibly what it's about, can you please write to me? Thanks!! --Jessica

Summary: Not much of a reader
Review: I am person who finds it difficult to read books. It takes me months to read a book, even though I am glued to the story-line. The "Mode Series Books" have been the most amazing books I have ever read. I love the research that Piers does to bring his books alive. I really felt sorry in a way for Coline but I was happy to see her find a love, and excitement in her life. I also loved Marsey Doats and Seqiro who were true friends for Coline. Can't wait for the next book in the series, hurry up Piers Anthony.

Summary: Good, but uneven
Review: I just finished reading this book last night. I love the Xanth series and I enjoyed the first two books in this series. However, this book is not as good in my mind as the first two. The author spends quite a bit of time repeating what happened in the first two books. It is a series, it would be expected that people would have read them in order and know what was going on. Perhaps there was a long time between the 2nd and 3rd? I didn't check on this so am not sure. There were some very good parts and I did enjoy the interactions between the characters but it did get annoying to keep seeing Colene referred to as a "vessel of dolor". At least use different words once in a while. And it seemed like Colene's parents gave in to her relationship with Darius very easily. I know they were afraid of losing her again and Seqiro helped mentally, but she is only 14 and he is much older. All in all, it was good but seemed rushed. I would still recommend the series and am eagerly waiting to see what happens in DoOon Mode.
