Description: I salute Anthony's ability to write convincing female characters. So many men have their heroines behave unconvincingly or stereo-typically. They try to get in touch with their feminine sides and it just doesn't quite work. "With a Tangled Skein" features the incarnation of Fate and is mostly the story of Niobe, who becomes Clotho, the youngest face of Fate (being young, middle-aged and elderly). Anthony writes both female characters so well that I was surprised to find out Piers Anthony was a male writer. This is an excellent beginning to the series if you want to start here, although it's technically the third. Enjoy!I love this Anthony series because you can read the books in any order without becoming confused. It's rare for each book in a series to be taken independently and still make sense, yet weave so seamlessly into a chronicle together. The reader can start with the third or first book. Anthony's take on the mythical incarnations is clever, witty, heartrending, suspenseful, lighthearted, funny and tragic all wrapped together. I thought he couldn't possibly top his fantastic Xanth series. I've loved his works since I started reading them way back in the 80s!
