Apoca Lips
ByPublisher Description
What's a single prince to do when confronted with the baton of protagonism? Why, become the hero of his own story of course! And in Xanth that usually means embarking on a quest. For Prince Nolan Naga, there's only one thing missing from his life: a wife. He needs a royal match by the time he assumes the throne. But to make sure he lands the right spouse, he must consult with the Good Magician.
After completing the three challenges necessary to see the Good Magician, Nolan learns that the ideal bride for him does exist. She is Apoca of the Lips Tribe. From the Queendom of Thanx—a matriarchy that is the opposite of Xanth—she is a formidable woman, one whose very kiss can seduce a man into love slavery. But before a happily ever after, they'll have to team up to put an end to a curse that's causing every baby in Xanth to be born with the same magical talent, all while navigating through a realm plagued by endless puns. It could be the end of the world as we know it . . .
"Piers Anthony is one of those authors who can perform magic with the ordinary. . . . [He] is a craftsman." —
"Anthony's unflagging sparkle, verve and wordplay spin everyday trials of Mundane life into storytelling gold." —

“This was my first foray into Xanth. Initially I liked the light humorous tone of the book but it got old and tedious as the story wore on. The way the plot meandered through so many mini stories felt like a compilation of short stories more than one overarching book and not what I thought I was getting into.”

“If you've read the Xanth books, you pretty much know what to expect here. I've been reading these since middle school in the 1990s so feel somewhat compelled to follow the series. However, knowing some of the... issues... that people have brought up in regards to the author, certain things in the author's writing stand out to me more and take some of the enjoyment out of the story.”
