Publisher's summary

Orb is four years old when she first hears the wonderful music of the morning. Gifted with a magic that makes her songs irresistible anytime she sings or plays the harp, she spends her life seeking the source of the mystical music that controls all things. After years spent with gypsies and traveling shows, Orb finally feels she's getting somewhere when she hooks up with the Livin' Sludge, a rock band that could use all the magic they can find. Unfortunately, there's still the pesky little matter of a prophecy to deal with - the prediction that Orb will someday marry Evil, the devil himself.

Piers Anthony's best-selling Incarnations of Immortality series has delighted readers with its wonderful mixture of contemporary situations and unconventional views of traditional magical themes. Being a Green Mother continues Anthony's entertaining look at society through a lens of magic. And Barbara Caruso's lyrical narration is a wonderful addition to this endlessly inventive series.

Critic reviews

"This conclusion to one of Anthony's most popular series abounds with the author's love for logical conundrums and coy humor." ( Library Journal)

Being a Green Mother by Piers Anthony

Loved it very much. The way the characters are intertwined through out the series is very interesting. I love the tie-ins to mythology.

great story, technical issues

as always I love the stories of Mr Anthony, as dated and sexist as they are, however my only real qualm with this audiobook is that the chapters were not listed properly and did not flow smoothly into the lineup of where the chapters start and stop. for example it still says chapter 5 when I'm now on chapter 7 and it wasn't even at the end of a chapter set up when it showed up

Very slow burn.

It was a very slowly developing story and a long wait for her to become Gaia.

Excellent world building and performance

I was left pretty excited for reading the rest of the incarnations of immortality books because the world building is fairly well done. The performance was pretty genuine as well and you could tell she really got into it.
That being said, I felt the story was lacking something. Compared to the one about death (On a Pale Horse), this one felt more like a soap opera.
Overall, it was still good. I'd still recommend it.
