3 stars

Bink goes on another quest...

short plot description: set one year after the events of the first book we meet Bink again. His wife Chameleon is expectiong their first child and giving him a hard time and unknown enemy tries to harm him. So he gladly accepts the order from King Trent to go find the source of Magic of the land Xanth, accompanied by the centaur Chester and the soldier-turned-Griffin Crombie.....

my thoughts: again quite funny and a good read but I found some tongue-in-cheek jokes getting a bit repetitive and the more serious themes of the book didn't fit imho with the more comical parts.
