Metria kicks!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is almost the greatest book, being only second to isle of view. but if you love the demoness metria then you'll love this book. She embarks on a journey across the land of xanth and beyond to summon people and creatures for the trial of the century. full of puns, laughs, and reunions its the second best xanth book ever!!! if you don't love it, you haven't really read it. but you have to read the previous books in order to feel the nostalgia.
Hard To Resist

Roc and a Hard Place is my first Xanth book(Sept 1998). It is excruciatingly punny. I loved it, loved it, loved it! All the others I have seen since then (Harpy Thyme, Valley of the Voles, Colour of Her Panties) are hilarious. This series is a must-read for all not-so-serious fans of fantasy who are sickened by the blood and gore that pervades most of this category of books. I only gave it five stars because they wouldn't let me give it ten!
An AWESOME book!!

Like all of the Xanth novels, this book is absolutely wonderful. I couldn't put it down!
the best in the series

This is my favorite book in the enormous Xanth series (I think this is number 19). It has very few of the awful puns that gave this series notoriety, and delivers a great moral tale. A perfect book, and one of my all-time favorites.
