I dunno, but I don't like that generation of princesses (Melody etc. and Dawn etc. - ugh!). Xanth has no princes. Probably because Piers has a little girl fetish.
I though that too, but since a lot of his books involve sexual encounters with very eager and very nubile females, I had to decide on the fetish as a reason.
Oh yeah, if you are into Xanth you might understand this new movie coming out called Gentlemen Broncos (directed by the Napoleon Dynamite guy). Look it up on imdb.com It is a comedy about a Sci-Fi/Fantasy author named Ronald Chevalier. The name of one of his faux-books is called Cyborg Harpies. It's a total parody of Piers Anthony.
Check it out here... it's a faux-website designed to make people think he's a real author.
I read this with the stack of xanth books i got to read for old times sake (and it is likely the LAST of them I will read). On one hand the book was the best of the lot, i enjoyed it much better than the ones before as it broke anthonys typical formula a bit by not having a "wild goose chase" or a ptera visit, instead it focused alot on the play troupe and is very character driven

I think the last one I read was Question Quest back when I was in Junior High school.
