When the demoness Metria wants to have a baby but the stork refuses to deliver, she has to perform a service to the Simurgh to learn how to get a baby. The service is simple; deliver tokens summoning citizens of Xanth to the trial of Roxanne Roc. On the way, Metria accomplishes many things and all of them good. This story is delightful and has a wonderfully happy ending!

Metria kicks!!! 21 April 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Turtleback
This is almost the greatest book, being only second to isle of view. but if you love the demoness metria then you'll love this book. She embarks on a journey across the land of xanth and beyond to summon people and creatures for the trial of the century. full of puns, laughs, and reunions its the second best xanth book ever!!! if you don't love it, you haven't really read it. but you have to read the previous books in order to feel the nostalgia.

Pretty Good...older ones better 25 Feb 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I wish Piers would have stopped writing in the Xanth series, even though I continue to read the newer ones. Then I would have been spared the pain of having each successive book being slightly less amusing. It becomes so old after this book that I don't know why I bother anymore...BUT the older books in the Xanth series are delightful. Invest your time and money in those.

Hard To Resist 14 Jan 1999
By l505@hotmail.com - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Roc and a Hard Place is my first Xanth book(Sept 1998). It is excruciatingly punny. I loved it, loved it, loved it! All the others I have seen since then (Harpy Thyme, Valley of the Voles, Colour of Her Panties) are hilarious. This series is a must-read for all not-so-serious fans of fantasy who are sickened by the blood and gore that pervades most of this category of books. I only gave it five stars because they wouldn't let me give it ten!
