I started reading Mr. Anthony's Mode series this year. Of the three books, Chaos Mode is definitely the best. His portrayal of Colene is so realistic that I was on the verge of tears a few times. Compared to the Xanth series, I feel that mode novels are better because they contain more depth of feeling. I have heard a rumour that he won't be writing anymore Mode novels, but Mr. Anthony, if you happen to read this, please think of continuing writing. There are lots of fans out here waiting to to know what will happen to Colene and Darius in DoOon Mode and how their relationship will progress.
