I don't know much about the Land of Point, but at the time I associated Xanth much more with Oz. The inherent magic, the dread Mundania around the borders, etc. Xanth:Oz::Shannara:Middle-Earth, or so it seemed to me.

"At the time:" I was 7 when this book came out, and I choose to believe that's how old I was when I read and liked it. I was definitely a big Oz reader at the time. I forget at what point in the Xanth series I started thinking, wait, whoa, no. The titles stop looking familiar around the time I was 13 (two Xanth books came out that year!). Alas, I think it had more to do with the increasingly lazy puns, plots, etc. than the sexism/age of consent issues.
