Piers Anthony isn't the only one who runs a series into the ground. I eventually gave up on Stasheff's Warlock books, Aprin's Myth series, and Dickson's Dragon books. The first book was delightful in all three cases, and then they started going downhill. Seems like the exploration of a new fantasy world and, in some cases, the hero's exploration of his magical talents, will carry one book, but after that there was a tendency for all three authors to get bogged down in political/business maneuvering, Life Lessons, and "how to win friends and influence people" type lecturing.
