20. Yon Ill Wind |

Let me say, this is probably my favorite Xanth book... And you don't really need to read all of the one's before it, because it explains Xanth to you, as it does to the Mundanes in the book. This is how it goes: The demon X(A/N)th is making another bet, to go to Xanth and get a human to shed a tear for him. The catch is: He is a donkey headed-dragon who cannot talk. Sounds pretty crazy, ehh? So, can he do this, while meeting lost Mundanes who are clueless about the hazards of Xanth? |
