Wait no way have you reread anything by Piers Anthony recently All of his books read like Wikipedia summaries of themselves

Sorry to revive an old thread, but the Black Market thing sounds much, much, MUCH worse. Ilvermorny isn’t really evil or harmful as an idea, it’s just a lazy copy-paste of Hogwarts with a Camp Chippewa aesthetic. The Black Market is literally Piers of Shit playing into the....
