Rating: Summary: Kinda boring Review: I enjoyed the series as a whole, and even liked Love of Evil, because it was interesting. However, nothing really interesting actually happens in this book. The three main characters walk around, and make observations that God doesn't do anything. Plot-wise, I felt this last book of the series to be a disappointment.
Rating: Summary: I believe this was a great book,not the best in the series Review: I enjoyed this book, although I do think For Love of Evil was the best of the series. I would have like to see more details about Nox - the way she was thrown in there was a bit awkward,and why she wanted Gaw II was never fully explained. Vita was kind of boring. Jolie should have been a little less rigid; she came across as a prude, even if she is married to Satan. The ending was good, I was not expecting it.
Rating: Summary: The worst of the series. Review: I find it odd that this book got so many good reviews. I have read and reread all of the books in the series save this one.Anthony said he at first thought that good and evil were best left to our own imagination, he was right about this one (good) but did succed briliantly with evil.If you are just starting this series stop at #6, I wish I had.
Rating: Summary: One of the Better Fantasy Series Review: I found On a Pale Horse by accident and was hooked until the end of the series. I sent the series to my mother, a non-reader, and she relished it for the religious allegory presented so well. In fact, it answered questions for her in a way nobody had done before. This last book was very much the crowning glory on an especially insightful Piers thread of joyful reading.
Rating: Summary: Every series Anthony attempts is pure gold Review: I have read Anthony's Xanth series and his Incarnation series and I have to say his stories first turned me on to sci-fi fantasy. Read every book in these series and you will see a story unfold of untold depth and color. There are seven books in the Incarnation series and an untold number in the Xanth series. I urge to read them all!!!!
Rating: Summary: uncomfortable reading Review: I loved books from this author as a child. This series kept me thinking the the author is a bit of a chauvinist and a bit dirty minded. Did I miss that as a child? Are the Xanth and Adept series like that? I may have to re-read them and see. For this book I feel way too much time seemed spent on the sexual situations with a minor. After a while, I just couldn't see past it.
Rating: Summary: A breathtaking finale to a wonderful series Review: I read all seven books in the Incarnations of Immortality series in four days. I couldn't put them down! But 'And Eternity' stood out from a superlative series. A well-crafted story that brings together threads from the previous books in the series and weaves them together to create an ending that Fate herself would be surprised at. A must read for anyone who has ever felt that God is sleeping on the job
Rating: Summary: Never put it down!!! Review: I read this book in a matter of hours. Never before have I seen a masterpiece that I just could not put down.It's a griping tale of the battle between Good and Evil.I especially liked how this, and the other six novels of this series, meat together to create a complex and complete world,and it doesn't matter which ones you read first.I recomended this book to all my friends...and I recomend it to you!
Rating: Summary: Seriously people! Review: I was so excited to grab this book the other day. I loved the rest of the series and except for some slow spots gave this series a solid four out of five stars. Ten pages into this book and I had to take a double look at the front to make sure I had the right author. I can't think of a single reason why this book is getting good reviews here on Amazon but I just have to clear the air in case someone has the idea to read this book to cap off a great series. Skip it.I still have about fifty pages to go but even if the ending is wonderful and totally takes me by suprise it still won't make up for this book ever having been written. Now just so it doesn't seem like I am giving such a negative review for no reason, I will tell you why it is so awful. First, it is very repetitive. You basically know what is going to happen at every turn and even if you didn't, it really is boring. Also, this introduction of Vita, the new underage character who loves sex (not being paid, just doing it for free) is very annoying. As a character she is pretty shallow. Actually all the characters in this book are shallow. Orlene has to ask all the incarnations for a favor and EACH one tests her before they give her the item or perform the favor she asks, even though they all basically are related to her (Mother, Grandmother, Father, Stepfather, Lover, etc.). Very unrealistic (I know it's fantasy but c'mon, a little real human emotion wouldn't hurt.) And the asking of favors and the testing her (them, actually but that is another boring aspect of this book I won't get into) is literally 200 pages. You know she will get the items in the end, so why strech it out? Why have Vita/Jolie/Orlene banging away with the Judge for pages on end? Boring, Boring stuff Piers and I wish you would have stuck to your guns and not wrote this piece, or at least tried to make it interesting.
Rating: Summary: An ending, great or not great Review: If you like Piers' writing style or not is up to you. If you like the fact that he didn't even wish to write this book is up to you. But to deny the fact that the book had some power of its own. It finished a series with a somewhat surprising twist. Even if you can tell right from the cover whats going to happen, if you actually read the series, the soap opera of a series, this is a nice surprise ending. I have to say that I was happy with this ending. It would have recieved 5 stars if he only enjoyed writing it thus adding more magic to the story.
