No, there's nothing creepy about Piers Anthony and his views on underage sex. Perish the thought.

Dear Lord. This is also from 1992. Only 15 books in and flaunting the perv.

(it's on sale today, with just a generic squat castle what doesn't even have narwhals on the parapets.)

Piers, could you possibly _not_ let your freak flag fly? Thanks.

This is, IIRC, the point at which I left the Xanth series. There was a lot of questionable stuff from the start, but people (including myself)were more oblivious in the 1980s. I can't believe there are 47 of these things: I do find it unsurprising that books 37 on are too obscure to get their own wikipedia entry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanth#Books

Even as a middle schooler I found the Xanth books too puerile to read any more than the first three.

>6 paradoxosalpha: I noped out after the first three as well.
