anastaciaknits 's review for:
Wielding a Red Sword
by Piers Anthony
I've read this book a few times over the years, and I'll state the same thing at the beginning of reviewing all the I of I books: this is a re-read, and the first time reviewing the books. I'm reviewing all of the books after I finished re-reading the entire series, which I don't normally do & didn't do deliberately this time, either...
OK this is another one in the series I liked. Mym is a sexist jerk, but he's a product of his upbringing and Piers Anthony wrote him that way, so it's not Mym's fault he's a sexist jerk. Lots of icky sex, one sided flat female characters that are beautiful but breathtakingly stupid, but Mym's still a bit of a cool guy.
Orb is my favorite character in the series (as dumb as she's written for huge chunks of her storyline throughout the series), so I like this book mostly for the Orb sections. There's lots of racism/stereotypical garbage in the book to wade through, so as much as I do like this one, it still only gets a three star rating. It's starting to get harder and harder to wade through the series.
