Way, way back in September I started First Impression Fridays so I could poke fun at my bad intuition on the plot and characters of the books I haven't read. Writing my first post on Beautiful Creatures was fun for me, and then... I just stopped. Well, here I am again, ready to find out why I own Split Infinity by Piers Anthony.
So Piers Anthony, the author, is very well-known in fantasy circles, I believe. I remember listening to an episode of This American Life where his books were mentioned, and I downloaded the episode but completely forgot to follow up on my new interest. That is, I forgot until I found his shelf inside that Canadian bookshop. Recognition sparked, and I left with a book. I think I picked this one instead of his more recognized Magic of Xanth because this series, the Apprentice something, has fewer books. While I love spontaneity as much as the next blogger, I always check the series page on Goodreads before picking up a book to be sure I'm picking up the first one, and to check how many books are in the series.
Unfortunately, I remember more about how and why I have the book than what's inside of it. I know it's set on a fictional, scientific planet, and our main character is a servant who discovers he's a wizard on another planet, but... that's it. I think I'll have to read and find out. Check back next Friday for another First Impression! This time featuring a newer book full of the same classic adventure and fantasy spirit.
