Product Description

Product Description

Although the Nextwave of barbarian warriors was invading Xanth, Mare Imbrium discovered that ever since she had gained the half soul, the night mare had begun to mishandle her job of delivering bad dreams. Exiled to the day world with a message for King Trent, Mare met the relentless, unforgiving Horseman. For the night mare, it began to be all a horrible nightmare!


Ingram

Mare Imbrium has been exiled to the day world with a message for King Trent: "Beware the Horseman!" With Xanth being invaded from the north, the message could spell disaster for Xanth.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best xanth books!, Aug 28 2002
By T Maavara (Winnipeg) - See all my reviews
I though night mare was probably one of the absolute best xanth books! Imbri is a great character, and the book has a great plot. I recomend reading the series in order, becasue you will understand more of the jokes, and the book will make more sense. If you do find the urge to read the books out of order this one should be near the top of your list!

3.0 out of 5 stars It was O.K, Aug 8 2002
Having read all of the earlier "Incarnations of Immortality" series I was anxious to find more books by Piers Anthony.

"Night Mare did not live up to my expectations maybe this is just the weak link in the series (there is always one you must admit) and I will try the others.

It seemed to me as if this book showed good promise but got bogged down trying to impress a younger audience.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun book, but needs some back ground., Jul 29 2002
By "coraythan" (Dexter, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews
As far as Zanth books go, this was one of my few favorites, but I also think it needs more background than most Zanth novels. Most of them are more stand-alone, but many old characters are brought back in this book, and it's nice to understand Zanth's situation as it relates to "Mundania" before you read this book.

Consequentially I would recommend reading "A Spell for Chameleon," the first book, "Castle Roogna," and "Ogre, Ogre" before reading "Night Mare." Of course if you wanted to start out with the best you could read "Dragon on a Pedestal," a cute and up-lifting book, the very best of the Zanth Series. (It's later than all the others though, so it's sort of a toss up.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Night Mare is Scary Fun
Nightmare was a good read. In it we have the point of view of a horse, not a human, not really a horse either. In Xanth, bad dreams are not accidents but designed. Read more
