Xanth series (Piers Anthony, 1977-?)

This series has like 31 books so far, and still going strong. I lasted until Book 5, but eventually, I lost interest. The book is set in a city called Xanth, which we eventually learn is set in our world, but due to magic, non-Xantanians can't see it. We mostly interact with the characters in Xanth, and the book is written in a silly and fun style. Everything is basically a play on words. Like, Spelling Bees in Xanth actually spell words.

Childish and does get boring after a couple of books, but for the non-adult fantasy genre, I honestly think it is better than Harry Potter.

3/5

Have you read Harry Potter? (Beyond book 3, that is...)

I think I read the first and half of the second one.

You've been so many of these series, try reading a bit more of the Potter books. The second is the worst of the seven anyway. Book three is where it starts getting a bit interesting, and Book-5 does really well.

Well, to be honest, I probably wouldnt be able to get into it anyway now, because of how big of a pop icon it has become.
