And Eternity

And Eternity was a very enjoyable read. The addition of new characters made this story refreshing, but it also was sure to tie in all the characters from previous books in the series. The adventures of the new characters are exciting, as well as interesting because of the way their paths cross with the Incarnations and other characters you've met through the other six books. Anthony uses the characters whose personalities he has already developed with the new characters-- their interactions are fascinating; The end's twist is great! The settings in the book are just as interesting as always, and you are always kept on the edge of your seat from all the changes of scenery and also the plot developments. The underlying plot revolves around the need to replace the God of non-interferece (and non-action) and keeps hinting that different characters might become the next God, but who is finally chosen and the way he/she/it was chosen is great, and draws support and meaning from For Love of Evil. If you've read the other books from Incarnations of Immortality and are interested in the characters, and especially if you have an interest in mythology and theology, this is a Must-Read!

The entire Incarnations series is incredible, and this book was a beautiful ending to a great saga. A voracious reader of every type of fiction and nonfiction, I am usually bored by the recycled plots, so-called moral dilemmas, and one-dimensional characters that abound in most novels. Delightfully, this series does not suffer from those common shortcomings. As the review preceding mine also shows, however, it is not for the close minded. If you like to think and get emotional about characters, though, I highly recommend this book.

Piers Anthony, in his Incarnations of Immortality series, has done what no author has done before (or, at least not as well). He described some of the most difficult to explain aspects of our existance. Of course, he does that from his point of view, but it is very surprising, and, in the end, amazing, how much thought is put into each of the books.Anthony has had difficulty coming up with appropriate event sequences in prior books, as is most apparent in the 3rd one, The Tangled Skein. However, he links it all briliantly, and creates feelings and emotions that few other authors can. Of that, the relationships between incarnations, natural as well as supernatural, are exemplary instances.I have waited 7 books to finally read about the Incarnation of Good. I was, to say the least, a little disappointed, but then it struck me: Anthony speaks true, once again! For many years, few have ever believed that a prayer has been answered, or that a worship has been appreciated. Anthony explains that so simply, it's laughable. The Incarnation of Good was, after all, everything I expected Him to be, just not exactly in the same manner.Because some who have not read the book may be reading this, I attempt to give away none of the plot, but I definitely recommend this one, and all the other Incarnation series.

It has been about 5 years since I have read this series, but it still lingers in my mind, as one of my favorites. The series is a must have for anyone who reads. Anthony does a brilliant job of making 7 completely seperate books (that can all stand alone by themselves) but ties them up into a neat, little package.

This book was really good.... my 6th favorite in the series, and my 6th favorite book ever. (My seventh is Being a Green Mother) This book was a good completion to the series. I just wish I hadn't read the reviews first, someone gave away the ending and ruined the suprise. I would've liked this book better if Anthony had shown some of God's powers.... what makes him so special. That and repitition are the only drawbacks of this book. I think that For Love of Evil was a lot better than this book, it added something to Satan's character. This book does not add much to God's character.
