3 posts | 1 read
A quest to fulfill a lifelong wish turns into an adventure rife with magical creatures and arduous tasksand puns, of coursewhen New York Timesbestselling author Piers Anthony revisits the enchanted land of Xanth In Xanth, everyone has a talent. But that doesnt mean everyone loves his talent, and no one understands that better than Hapless. Endowed with the ability to conjure any instrument he wants, Hapless could be an extraordinary musician if only he could play a tune that didnt fall ear-piercingly flat. His one desire is to find an instrument he can playand maybe a girlfriend or three. But like music, women have never been his forte. When the Good Magician hears about Haplesss desperate desire, he sends the young man on a quest to find the elusive Isis Orb, a magical talisman that could fulfill his wish. But the mysterious Egyptian goddess for whom the orb is named guards the enchanted object and wont let anyone see itlet alone use it. Setting out to achieve the impossible, Hapless meets an eclectic mix of creatures that join him on his journey. Like the musically challenged Hapless, they all have wishes they hope the Isis Orb will grant. But the only way they can control the orb is to capture the five totems from the regions of Xanth: Fire, Earth, Air, Water, and the Void. Together, this motley crew will heroically fight dragons, a six-headed griffin, and even a beautiful, seductive water gorgon who tries to rain on Haplesss parade. With its thrilling exploits and endless humor, the newest addition to Piers Anthonys beloved Xanth series is sure to keep readers enthralled. Isis Orb is the 40th book in the Xanth series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

I have no idea what book this really is! At Malaprops bookstore in Asheville, NC, they keep entire shelves of books wrapped in brown paper with staff descriptions just like these. They call it blind dating with books. (If you already own it, you can turn that "date" back in and try another one.) I love it!!! ❤️

BetweenThesePages I need to get in on that. But I don't think bookstores do that around here 8y
DragonAuthors @BetweenThesePages I just adored the idea the moment I saw it. Malaprops does a lot of innovative stuff like that. I go there every time I visit Asheville! 8y
BetweenThesePages I'm in love with the idea as well. It's a fantastic way of being introduced to new genres and reads that might otherwise turn you off upon reading the title, seeing the cover, or reading the summary 8y
DragonAuthors @BetweenThesePages Exactly!!! 💖💖💖 8y
