Narrative Concering Books Unicorn Point (Apprentice Adept #6)

I've really only got myself to blame. Like Piers Anthony himself, I really struggle to let a series go. Unicorn Point is the sixth book of seven, in what was supposed to be a trilogy. I'm not necessarily expecting to love these anymore, but I am determined to finish the series. As the previous novels have dealt with Stile and Blue, then their sons Mach and Bane. This one switches to the grandchildren: Flach and Nepe. Their parents (who we remember have promised to work for the bad citizens and adepts because their parents wouldn't bless their unions with a jelly-like alien and a unicorn) believe them to be borderline retarded as they aren't developing as expected.

However, at the ripe old age of four, they are actually convinced by their grandparents (Stile and Blue) to go into hiding so that their powers (oh yes, they have secret powers, they can communicate with each other across the two realms whenever they want – nobody else has noticed though) can develop without being used by the bad citizens and adepts. At the age of four! At that tender age they are able to form complex political opinions, keep secrets from their own parents about their abilities, are smart enough to have always done so without getting noticed up until then, and to top it all are able to create and action their own, totally self-sufficient, escape plans and stay undetected for a number of years.

As is the style these days (1989?) the chapters rotate through a number of PoV characters. Each taking turns to narrate the story. This would be fine if Anthony could just shake this habit of having each character reminisce extensively about the events of the previous chapters and books. It's massively annoying and he needs to stop it. This book could easily have been about half the size if Anthony just cut out all the repetition. And the weirdly creepy bestiality and rape obsessions.

Finally, the book just stops. It doesn't really end. Although one side has technically won, (view spoiler)[the baddies (hide spoiler)], it's not clear what that means for any of the characters. We don't know how the balance of power is affected between the good guys and bad guys in each realm, or how the balance between the two realms is affected. I can only assume that this is Anthony putting something aside for the final novel...

Write-Up Based On Books Unicorn Point (Apprentice Adept #6)

I read this book sometime in the 1980s. Like many of Piers Anthony's series, the first three books in this series were outstanding - a unique idea, interesting, and fun to read. However, by this point the ideas behind the series were being recycled and the same basic plot was being reused over and over again in these later books. If you enjoy the first books in the Apprentice Adept series, do yourself a favor and stop after book 3.

A great fantasy series. A very enjoyable read. I could not wait for the next one to come in from the library.

Once again, Bane and Mach feel restricted by their duty in helping the 'wrong' side of the Phaze/Proton war, but no-one thought that their children would be able to fight against them. Nepe, a half alien, half robot, and Flach, half unicorn, half Adept, run away and hide in ther appropriate worlds, so that their grandfathers can halt the progress of the Adverse Adepts/Contrary Citizans. For the two children can also communicate across the frames. But when the two children are caught, it once

Ok...Unless you like digging through bad writing to be entertained by the plot do not read this book...It is a prime candidate for someone to re-write/imagine. The story is solid and keept me reading but the style of writing made it very hard. I do not quit books, this one almost got set aside...but again the plot/story was solid enough I might find the first in the series and give it a try...but I am an idiot.

Great book!: A well written and fitting conclusion to "Out of Phaze" and "Robot Adept".
