Our view
“Wielding a Red Sword” is a solid middle volume of Piers Anthony’s “Incarnations of Immortality”, built around war, gods and demons. The fourth of eight books, it runs to over three hundred and sixty pages and continues the series’ blend of mythology and fantasy. Some readers like the premise of the series but find the plot of this volume slow. It will mean most to those who have followed the cycle from the start.
