The book follows the ghost Orlene as she goes on a quest to revive her dead ghost baby who had been kidnapped by Nox. Sound silly? Well, that’s because it is. In the process, there is some Incarnation politicking and a weird Lolita-like romance that seems creepily rationalized by Piers Anthony.
Things wrap up in a satisfactory matter, but it kind of feels like Anthony is phoning this one in. I’m sure it’s difficult to keep a series fresh after 6 books and, despite my nostalgic love of the series as a whole, it probably reached its expiration date with For Love of Evil.
