Book Reviews of Source of Magic (Xanth Novels)
Book Review: A Source of Good Reading!
Summary: 5 Stars
The second book in the Xanth series, The Source of Magic, finds the hero of the first book Bink, now married to Chameleon and living in a cottage cheese rind outside Castle Roogna. Chameleon is very pregnant, stuck in her smart/ugly phase and Bink is like many almost fathers' itching to have one last go at adventure before all his youth is gone. Queen Iris decides to throw a costume party, where she herself using her talent of illusion, outfits everyone in attendance. Whoever guesses the most guests proper identity gets an awesome prize; one question from Magician Humphrey, free of the yearly charge!!!
At the party Trent confides in Bink his sorrow at not being able to properly consummate his marriage to Iris because he is still thinking of his dead wife, Bink gives him a great idea and Trent runs with it!. Crombie is complaining that his wife Sabrina is a complete ball and chain and Chester Centaur is wondering if he himself has a talent. After the contest is won, Bink is even more eager to get out into Xanth because of a temptation, I won't spoil what happened!! Trent then sends Bink out into Xanth, with his friends, to find "The Source of Magic", a rather general and difficult quest! Where will they go? Who will join them on the way? Will Crombie finally learn to appreciate women? Will Chester find his talent? Will Bink sow his wild oats enough to go home satisfied? Will they find the Source of Magic? And what will happen when they do!
This is an amazing continuation of the series, and it wont let you down in any way!
