Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This latest and weakest Xanth fantasy (after The Color of Her Panties ) starts off in Mundania, the series's term for the world in which the readers live. Playing the new fantasy/adventure computer game Companions of Xanth, teenagers Dug and Kim select companions from among the characters of Xanth, Dug choosing a sultry half-woman/half serpent and Kim a young Elven girl. Soon Dug and Kim find they have entered the actual Land of Xanth. Unknown to them, the demons that provide Xanth's magic are in mystic competition, using Kim, Dug and their companions as pawns. Written in a simplistic style, the novel marks the continued decline of this once-diverting series. The teenage characters are all but lifeless, while the story line, remarkably similar to that of Anthony's recent novel Killobyte , lacks not just tension but consequence. However, the legions of Xanth readers can rest assured that the book contains plenty of the punningly named animals, vegetables, people and things (such as the Ice Queen Crone and the Censor-Ship) that have become the series' raison d'etre.

From Library Journal

A computer game becomes the doorway between Mundania and the magical, pun-filled world of Xanth in the 16th installment of one of the genre's most popular series. The switch to hardcover format will guarantee patron demand for library copies.

4.0 out of 5 stars A pretty good book!, December 12, 1999
A very good book, showing how two worlds can be so distinct, yet come together and get along at some point in their history. Powerful story line, with great characters, and easy to follow, yet complicated in it's own punish way

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Story line, June 13, 1999
By A Customer
I have read all of Anthony's Xanth novels up to Demon Lover and I find this one to be one of his best. In this one he involves Mundania and gives them a chance to interact with Xanth an idea i am sure all of his readers wishes could happen. I hope Xanth goes on forever for children and adults everywhere.
