usually like Piers Anthony but this one is convoluted & hard to get in to - started but not finished ( )

This was the book that finally made me give up on Piers Anthony for good. It's the same basic underlying plot device as [pick any Piers Anthony novel from the past 20 years], where [insert protagonist] gets into an unusual situation whose solution inevitably involves solving a series of mental gymnastic riddles. Sigh. ( )

Colene is a bright and suicidal high school student when she finds Darius, a handsome stranger, lying in the road by her house. She slowly learns he is from another reality and is looking for a new wife. At first she doesn't believe him, but later they try to reunite so they can be married. Many magical time-travel adventures follow. ( )

Didn’t like a young female protagonist with horse, this is for little girls to read. ( )
