Our view

“For Love of Evil” is an engaging sixth volume in Piers Anthony’s “Incarnations of Immortality”, with angels, demons and magic at its heart. Some readers enjoy its theology as much as its story. Coming late in an eight-book cycle, it is written for readers already following it rather than for newcomers.
