Amber is a wonderful world......

I started this series when I was about 14 years old, and was immediately hooked by Corwin, the lead characters plight.

A wonderful blend of fantasy, sci-fi and alternate universe genres.

This series, can be read time and time again, if you give yourself a few years inbetween. Although it was written quite a few years ago, it does not seem dated.

Oberon's Legacy: The Royality of Amber

I began this series when I was twenty. Even after thirty years, this richly entwined tapestry called Amber has never lost it's timeless facination and ability to pique my interest. Zelazny's world remains a colourfully textured and swirled Pattern within a Pattern within a Pattern....

Not Free SF Reader

A book that is a fabulous deal. The adventures and schemes and wars of a family of megapowerful platonic ideal seeking, reality manipulating bastards and bitches. You are getting 10! books in this collection even though obviously they are not the lengthy doorstops that seem to be published a lot these days. The first five are clearly superior, but the second quintent isn't too bad either. A very new take on the fantasy novel.

Back to read it again

To make this short and sweet..... I read the first five books in 1982, and have never forgotten how much I enjoyed them... and now, 25 yrs later... I just ordered the Complete Chronicles to do it all over again., And I'm sure I'll enjoy it as much now, as I did then....

The Chronicles Of Amber are probably the best story I have ever read...

Unsure

I wasn't sure what to rate this book. I absolutely loved the first half of the series but I could have done without the second part. I found the first 5 books to be a light read that moved fairly quickly, and I would recommend it to anyone! The last 5 books felt unfinished and just not as well thought out with too many things left unanswered. It almost seemed like he was tired of writing and just decided to wrap it up.

The first half gets 5 out of 5. The second only gets a 2. So since I can't give 3.5 stars, I'm going with 3. I would still recommend buying the book, because it's a great deal! You'll love the first half and rush right into the second but by the end, will probably be left wishing for something better.

I'll continue to reread the first 5 books as often as I can!
