The Chronicles of Amber: Volume I by Roger Zelazny

4.0

The first book of the two collected in this volume, [book: Nine Princes in Amber] was definitely stronger than the second, but both are very good. I really enjoy [author: Roger Zelazny]'s writing style, which mixes wit and irony into a more conventional fantasy environment (although the environment is far from merely conventional). The hero, like many heroes in the 'new wave' of Science Fiction, is flawed and often makes poor choices which isn't only more realistic, it is more suspenseful. I look forward to finishing the series.
