Summary:
Though already developing a successful career in SF with such heady
novels as Chthon and Omnivore, Piers Anthony did not reach brand-name
status until he cooked up some fantasy in 1977. And it was cheerful,
humorous fantasy at that, as in his first Xanth series novel, A Spell
for Chameleon. The book's young hero, Bink, is without magical powers
in a world ruled entirely by magic. Worse still, if he doesn't
discover his own magical talent soon, he will be forever banished
from his homeland. Naturally, it takes an epic quest for Bink to
learn what his unique talent truly is--and perhaps to win the girl of
his dreams as well. A Spell for Chameleon was the very first of
Anthony's bestselling (and still ongoing) humorous fantasy series.
Noteworthy for their outrageous word puns and bizarre characters, the
Xanth books are a light yet often satisfying brew, especially when
compared with the author's sometimes nihilistic and ultraviolent hard
SF. --Stanley Wiater
