And Eternity, Incarnations of Immortality, Book 7 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" The earthly incarnations of Death, Time, Fate, War, Nature and Evil have all been explained in the Incarnations of Immortality series and finally Piers Anthony tackles probably the most challenging aspect yet, that of Good. And Eternity focuses on a God that has become ambivalent to the mortal realm and has effectively become a non-existent incarnation. The determinations of what qualifies as sin have become outdated, but with no incarnation of Good available to realign the definitions of good and evil the future of humanity is doomed.[return][return]In this setting, we follow an unlikely trio: Orlean (deceased daughter of Nature), Jolie (deceased wife of Satan) and an underage prostitute. The three are set forth on a quest by the incarnation of Night that weaves them through the lives of all the Incarnations and they have no idea that the role they play may just save the world.[return][return]The seventh, and arguably, the final book in the series closes out the series well. Piers Anthony does an admirable job of tackling the final incarnation of Good though I am sure he upset a few along the way. It is challenging to write a novel that calls out in no uncertain terms that the current God is ineffective and due for replacement, but the six preceding books in the series prepare the reader for this conclusion. In spite of a few "stinkers" (Wielding a Red Sword and Being a Green Mother) the series is worth a read. Will I read them all again? Probably not, but it was a fun ride while it lasted. "

" The misogyny was one thing, but the pedophilia apologia? No. I reread the entire series so I would remember what was going on for the newest one Under a Velvet Cloak and reading it with adult eyes was... very disturbing. "

" The seventh installment of the Incarnation of Immortality does not disappoint. 10 of 10 stars "

" Each time I read this book I like it less and less. I loved it when I was in high school. Now I despise Piers Anthony's blatant sexism and wonder how much damage he did to my teenage psyche. "

" A creepy, misogynistic, and disappointing end to an otherwise good series. "

" A couple plot points troubled me, not quite as good as remainder of series. "

" LOVED this series, but they are hard to find to re-read! :-( "

" This is the worst book I've actually finished. The last 20 pages are kinda interesting. "

" From my youth... it was good at the time, but not sure I'd really be feeling these stories nowadays. "

" I think it was the best one in the series. I liked For Love of Evil too. But this one had all the incarnations in it, and lots of Parry. I like him. It ended just the way it was supposed to. I like it when that happens "

" This was a great ending to the series. I waited too long to finaly read it. I WAS annoyed with the relationship between the judge and the girl. Loved getting to see more of the Satan/Gaea relationship. "

" I loved this series when I was a teen, but even then I realized it wasn't that well written. And this one I didn't even like back then. Awful juvenile theology-fantasy. "

" The concept is so cool, and the way he writes it so painful and juvenile... "

" Definitely the worst of the series. So many icky plot elements. "

" An incredibly atrocious end of a series that started so well. The series should have stopped at the delightful sixth book. I have never been so disappointed in reading a book. "

" What can I say about a book I know I read but don't really remember? Not much. "

" This book was excellent. I was not expecting a story to be told liek this. It was very interesting and kept the pages turning. "

" Last book in this series and I loved it as much as the rest. All of your favorite characters come together from the rest of the books. I really was not disappointed with any part of this series and recommend it to everyone. "

" Terrific ending to the series.. wish someone would fill the dang office, we need some love "

" the pronunciations are great to actually hear the characters name, instead of trying to say them.It enhances the story "

" I read this book during my Piers Anthony period. I'm not sure that I'd read his books these days, but I did enjoy it at the time. "

" Wonderful way to end my favorite Anthony series! "

" I enjoyed this book. I think. I may need more time to process it and draw a conclusion. "

" Meh (Contains spoliers). Seven books talking about how God is too wrapped up in himself to perform his office just so the author would skip over the consequences of his impeachment. Oh, and statutory rape is not okay. "

" Not quite as good as the preceding books, but what're you going to do? "

" Umm... Wow... This book was really interesting... "

" I read this before I started my goodreads account. Review forthcoming in the future. "

" see my pale horse review for my comments on the series "

" I think it was the best one in the series. I liked For Love of Evil too. But this one had all the incarnations in it, and lots of Parry. I like him. It ended just the way it was supposed to. I like it when that happens "

" Number 7 in a really great series about the immortal and intangible concepts of Death, Time, Fate, etc. - this one's about God, and unfortunately, is the weakest of the whole series (imho). "

" Wonderful series, I enjoyed this a lot. "

" made it through all seven books! (i'm not going to read the add-on 8th book about the incarnation of night). it was really cool how all the characters' story lines intersected and crisscrossed everywhere. i didn't get guess the ending. "

" The final book in the series belongs to God! "

" Reading AGAIN for the upteenth time! "
