106. Key To Chroma: Book Two of the ChroMagic Series - Piers Anthony - 537 pages. I tried to get the first book in the trilogy to read first, but the library gods did not smile on me. Really interesting world with different kinds of color magics, glamours (with special magic powers) and tons of travel across the planet. Although Piers has been somewhat risque with his other types of novels, this one is chock-a-block with all sorts of sex. Plus there is this shorthand speech technique where folks will say "Greeting", "Parting", "Acquiesence" etecetera as one word sentences to start or end a conversation. I understand that he's trying to create a totally different world (that was settled by spacefaring humans at some point in the past), but it does become a bit grating. All in all an interesting read, and I'm already in to the next one.
106 / 120 books read and 40,141 / 50,000 pages read.
