I recently finished the fourth book in the seven book series, Incarnations of Immortality, and boy was it a good one. The great thing about the series is the variety of the books. While I think On a Pale Horse had the best character and the most interesting Incarnation (Death), Bearing an Hourglass was very fun to read and be able to travel though time, and With a Tangled Skein was the first to explore the life after being an Incarnation. Wielding a Red Sword, however built on what made the first three great and eliminated what didn’t. This character has quite a life before being an Incarnation, making the first portion of the book quite interesting, not just a few chapters of “let’s get to the good part.” The Incarnation of Mars does not interact with the other Incarnations, so this is the first book to focus on him.

Once again, the story explains more of the relations of the characters, such as Mym, the character who plays Mars, being the source of Time’s Sning, and Orlene’s Father. It has become obvious that all of the Incarnations relate and form one large, if not jumbled, family tree.

My favorite part of the story however, is the great battle fought in Hell. I do not want to spoil the ending, but it is quite great and the confrontations with Satan are getting more severe with higher stakes every time, and this one has the life of all of Earth hanging in the balance. Once again, Piers Anthony creates a great book to the series, and I sure cannot wait to read the next one.
