24. Demons Don't Dream

by Piers Anthony (340 pgs)

Rating: 3

Two mundane kids, Dug and Kim, get to wander around Xanth by virtue of a computer game. What they aren't told though is that they are actually pawns in a larger game to decide the fate of Xanth.

Reading Demons Don't Dream was skipping a ton of material in the series that I probably needed to have to really enjoy this one. Generally speaking I don't think it much matters what order you read these books in but this one needs to be towards the end I think. In any case, it was cute. There was a lot of groaning at the puns and I think Anthony pegged what a mundane kid would think of Xanth if they'd never heard of it before.

It's worth reading if you have a free afternoon.
