I love The Chronicles of Amber. It's one of the best high fantasy book series I've ever read. It's original, creative and kind of funny. I read whole series twice and I will gladly read it again.
I can't say much that hasn't already been said about this book, both the good and bad. It was a fast-paced enjoyable read. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
Nine Princes in Amber by Roger Zelazny I promise that I don't set out to be unimpressed by the spectacularly popular and beloved books that my GR friends all give five stars. It just sort of happens. All the same, Amber was an enjoyable read. I especially appreciated the games of snark in the be...
Pure, undiluted brilliant fantasy. This novel is truly fantasy at its best, from a deservedly renowned science fiction and fantasy writer. The pace is fantastic, and the writing gripping.

I really had no idea what to expect from this iconic fantasy series and was quite surprised at how it all starts. With a car crash. I was intrigued and quite into it, enjoying all the family dynamics and dysfunction, until it hit the middle bit at which point it devolved into a lot of fighting that ...

Perhaps nearly four stars for the first book, and three for each of the other 4 Corwin books which I am not going to add separately. After the first one I tend to skip over all the shadow walking stuff as it gets a bit samey - so they end up more like long short stories. I think I like the books par...
Nine Princes of Amber, a new wave fantasy written by Roger Zelazny, one of the fathers of modern science fiction, is the first of a ten-novel series known as [b:The Great Book of Amber|5367|The Great Book of Amber (Chronicles of Amber, #1-10)|Roger Zelazny|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books...
High on imagination and pacing, low on prosaic skill. Maybe it hurts that I just finished Moby Dick yesterday. A soulless fantasy of cardboard characters.
Two multiversal books in a row? And fantasy books, no less. Enter Corwin, amnesiac prince of Amber on a mission to find out why he woke up under forced sedation in a hospital on our Earth and the events that led him there. The journey of discovery takes us beyond the veil of our own world (and many ...
