Maybe I needed to start at the beginning? I have a copy of the chronicles of amber as an anthology but picked this up since I needed something to read. I didn't enjoy it much,

Another amazing book in the series. I still can't believe that Brand was attacked by one of their own. I am curious as to who Corwin was attacked by and how he ended back up in that other place.
The ending where they were transported to another place was surprising and it left us at a cliffhanger

It's actually hard to review these given what an outsized portion of my life this series occupied in the early 90's. There are so many players, so many moving parts and also so many permutations explored in Amber Diceless Roleplaying that it's a little jarring to reread the text and try to see just what's there rather than our endless extrapolation of same. What's there is good enough to be amazing, and really impressive in how we are watching this as a character piece and a royal court conspiracy and a war across all reality. After the prior two books covered years in their execution we are approaching the endgame of decades of conspiracy and our wild card protagonist no longer has the luxury of time to learn everything that happened in his absence. This volume throws a lot at you in terms of more mysteries and chunks of data with the last of the worldbuilding for the series.

Tot nu toe het beste deel. Ik begon zowaar af en toe iets van emotie te zien hier en daar. Maar je moet wel vanuit je ooghoek kijken en vooral niet knipperen, anders is het weg. De wereld blijft me intrigeren, dus deel 4 gaat er wel achteraan. Hopelijk blijft die stijgende lijn doorzetten.

This book was less of a novel and more providing information. We filled in more of the back story. The affiliations of the different participants becomes more clear. At the end information is provided to give a jumping off point for the continuation of the story. So points for giving the overall story direction but this doesn't really have its own story to contribute.
