![]() ![]() The religious aspects purports to address all religions, but it’s very Judeo-Christian in focus. It’s also about religion and some serious topics – but more shallowly treated than I recalled. ![]() As a middle-aged adult, I found it juvenile and dull. As a teenager, it was probably titillating. I’d forgotten just how much of the book was about sex. Re-reading God of Tarot, though, I’m not so sure. I blamed it in part on Anthony, like Heinlein and others before him, losing focus and getting too caught up in sex as he aged. I tried a new Xanth book recently, Isis Orb, and it wasn’t any better. I kept on with Anthony for quite some time, but eventually, my favorite – and his most popular – series, Xanth, just got too silly, and I couldn’t take it anymore. It got me mildly and briefly in tarot as an entertainment. I remember reading the Tarot series, borrowed from a relative, fairly early on in our acquaintance. There were puns! There were extensive, autobiographical author notes. From A Spell for Chameleon on, his books addressed serious issues directly, approachably, and with a sense of humor. I was a fan of Piers Anthony, growing up. ![]()
