Under a Velvet Cloak

The 7th and 8th series I have yet to read. Anthony's Incarnation series was one of the best series I've read, and I put that up with the Belgarian epic. I look forward to reading the last two of the series, but first a must read for the books that spawned the last books. I'm rebuilding my library and Incarnations series will defiantly be in there!

Piers Anthony has used some help from readers of his other books in this Series, to make this book better. This book is interesting to read even if you haven't read the others in this Series, but if you have read the others this makes a fine addition as it ties up many loose ends from the other books.

Just when you thought the man couldn't possibly out do himself. Piers Anthony finds a unique perspective on the Incarnations of Immortality. He finds a way of tying all of the Characters together in a unique way! He had to travel back to the beginning of time itself to do it, but hey.... You gotta read this one if your an Incarnations of Immortality fan.

Kerena finds herself being given to Morley, a wise, magical man who offers her a better future than the life of poverty her family suffers, and teaches her much; logic, magic, and love. When he is abruptly taken from her, a quest to find him begins that will lead her into brothels, to becoming part of the Arthurian legend, to vampires, and then on a quest of cosmic proportions where she will meet Death, War, Time, Nature, Fate, the Devil, and Good Incarnates. She will also learn her role in life and find herself trying to save creation itself. Even if you pick up this book first and have not read the other seven; if that's so, shame on you, they are a must read for fans of fantasy, you can follow what is going on with no trouble. This story will give you a fresh appreciation for all the others and insights into them that may make you want to go back and read them all again. Saying more would spoil too much of the story, though I will say that toward the end, the timeline issues did rather remind me of Bearing an Hourglass. Amanda Killgore
