Search - Being a Green Mother (Incarnations of Immortality)

Book 5 of Piers Anthony's "Incarnations of Immortality" series.

FROM THE PUBLISHER
Orb had a rare gift—the magic which manifested whenever she sang or played her harp. No one could resist her music. But she knew that greater magic lay in the Llano, the mystic music that controlled all things. The quest for the Llano occupied Orb's life. Until she met Natasha, handsome and charming, and an even finer musician. But her mother Niobe came as an Aspect of Fire, with the news that Orb had been chosen for the role of Incarnation of Nature—The Green Mother. But she also warned of a prophecy that Orb was to marry Evil. Could she be sure that Natasha was not really Satan, the Master of Illusion, laying a trap for her...?

a WONDERFUL book. I seriously wanted to cry at the very end, and I just DEVOURED the whole series.

This was my first taste of what I would call an urban fantasy or modern day fantasy. At the time I was not entirely sure what to make of it. It was a good book. Not too sure what to think of the ship she sailed. Thinking back to it now it was not a bad story. I listened to it as an audio book that I checked out from the library. I picked it based on title and the fact that I knew the author back from BBS days. I had never read anything of his. It was time to jump out of the box. I would probably enjoy it more today than I did when I listened to it all those years ago in 2002.

Excellent, original fantasy series. The Incarnaions of Immortality was my introduction to Piers Anthony and, I think, his best work. I think there are eight or nine books in this series, and Being a Green Mother is somewhere in the middle. Technically, since each book does stand on it's own, the series does not have to be read in any specific order, but I would suggest starting at the begining with "On a Pale Horse." 5 stars, fantastic read!

One of the books in the Incarnation of Immortality series. These books are enjoyable and I would recommend them to any adolescent reader. If you have or know reluctant readers, this series is one I would recommend.
