See all formats and editions

No one’s safe when a pundemic spreads through the land of Xanth in this madcap adventure from the New York Times–bestselling author.

What’s a single prince to do when confronted with the baton of protagonism? Why, become the hero of his own story of course! And in Xanth that usually means embarking on a quest. For Prince Nolan Naga, there’s only one thing missing from his life: a wife. He needs a royal match by the time he assumes the throne. But to make sure he lands the right spouse, he must consult with the Good Magician.

After completing the three challenges necessary to see the Good Magician, Nolan learns that the ideal bride for him does exist. She is Apoca of the Lips Tribe. From the Queendom of Thanx—a matriarchy that is the opposite of Xanth—she is a formidable woman, one whose very kiss can seduce a man into love slavery. But before a happily ever after, they’ll have to team up to put an end to a curse that’s causing every baby in Xanth to be born with the same magical talent, all while navigating through a realm plagued by endless puns. It could be the end of the world as we know it . . .

A wonderful tale full of surprises and familier faces. I'm listening to a familier song as I write this (Landslide) and it reminds me that life is just full of ups downs twists and turns. I hope to live life to the fullest, much like my favorite Author. Long may He continue to confound His critics.

Piers Anthony must have a staff of hundreds just to catalog pins to have readily available. The authors greatest talent may be in his ability to quickly develop his characters in a fashion that makes them instantly likeable. If you are a fan of Xanth novels Apoca Lips will entertain you and the pages quickly turn.

It's a pretty good story, IF you have read the others that came before. I could see people getting confused if they haven't read them. I wouldn't rate this as one of the best of Xanth, but it does move the story along. I'll buy the next one too.

Another in the Xanth Series

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2023

Verified Purchase

A continuation of the domain of Xanth. It nicely ties in with the proceeding book "Six Crystal Princesses", but could still be read stand alone. Not quite as complex as the early books in the series, but still a pleasant read.
