Finally, the series is starting to get me hooked and I'm starting to like the characters. It is amazing that it took this long, but this book is where the hook finally gets set. I'm in.

El rescate de Brand realizado en el anterior libro es solo un paso más en el camino para descubrir todos los secretos de Ámbar. Corwin consigue muchas de las respuestas que esta buscando pero a su vez estas le descubren nuevas intrigas que tiene que resolver.
Hasta ahora el mejor libro de la saga, las caracteres, motivaciones y deseos de cada uno de nuestros protagonistas se nos muestran plenamente en este libro y en cierto sentido conseguimos por fin un cuadro completo de todos los actos que han girado en torno a la lucha por el trono de ámbar.
Uno de los mejores momentos de este libro es el cliffhanger final que nos indica que todas las piezas están colocadas en el tablero para la resolución final de esta saga.

No, no. Coraz lepiej, coraz lepiej. Takie 3.75, bo jednak miejscami troszkę mi się dłużyło, ale końcówka mnie rozbroiła.

Okay, I can't write any kind of teaser without spoiling anything. This was one tense book from the halfway point to the end. Lots of the machinations behind the scenes are brought to light and the manure hits the windmill many times. By the end, the true architect is revealed, setting the stage for the final book.
As I sit here at the end of the penultimate book, I have to say this reading doesn't disappoint like a lot of rereadings do. Onward to the end, now!

Fourth book in the fantasy series with lots of the usual family intrigue and adventure. Listened to the audio version which was ably read by Alessandro Juliani.

Re-reading an old favorite after a decade. So this is really one long novel split five ways, and here Corwin finishes putting together the puzzle pieces, discovers his true enemy, and makes a surprising discovery. So although there are a couple of slow spots—did he really need to recap everything he had learned so far—in terms of plot this most engaging bit so far.
