Wielding a Red Sword

1987Piers Anthony

1.8/5

Original review (2 stars):This series has been a roller coaster ride for me. I thoroughly enjoyed books 1 & 3 but struggled to even finish 2 & 4.I think I may have liked Wielding a Red Sword the least, which I didn't think possible after reading Bearing an Hourglass. At least I liked Norton and Orlene. I can't say the same about Mim and Rapture. The only thing that kept me going was the connection to Orb.I am so curious about Orlene and Sning and hope to get some resolution on that front in number 5. I really hope I like that one better and I hope even more that I can feel closure after that. I really have no desire at this point to read books 6 and 7.I am so tired and thoroughly disgusted with Piers Anthony's preoccupation with sex and luscious bosoms! Amended review (1 star):The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I didn't really like this book and I don't want to read anymore of the series. I read the synopses and some reviews for books 5, 6, and 7 and got the gist that it would be more of what I haven't liked in the first 4. Book 5 is about Orb, and honestly, I don't know if I care how she becomes the Green Mother and if she dates Satan. And Orlene comes back in 7 as God? It's more than I can take.
