Really fun read, although the sexism is dated... Overall, great world.

Easily one of my favorites within the series. Wonderful characters with a fascinating tale.

Well. They wasn’t very good. Took a lot longer to finish than the other two. Worry it’s an issue of Anthony writing with female protagonist.

The series jumped the shark with the second book. I must have been hoping that the share would eat the woman on the cover for this one.

I think I've read this book 4 times now. I caught some stuff I'd missed previously. And still feel like the end goes on forever.

I think this book is a little bit long. Towards the end, even though I'd read it before, I was like, "Is this ever going to wrap up?" It is a great story. I'm not sure I understood the answer at the end, but it is a piece of the series, so must be read.

A nice addition to the Incarnations series. These are always unique to what I've read before, simply because most people cannot handle writing from the perspective of immortality. Fun and entertaining.

 Niobe loses her young husband to attack by Satan. When she tries to get him back, she instead becomes an aspect of Fate. Through it all, she is determined to keep Satan from becoming all powerful.

I first read this book in the early 90s. I liked this one better than the first two of the series. Upon reading it a second time, I liked it, but not as much as I did as a young adult. If you like Piers Anthony, you will certainly like this. The misogyny gets a little tiresome after a while.
