A review by holli1al
Nine Princes in Amber by Roger Zelazny

I really enjoy the narrator here, and it's refreshing to have a fantasy novel not bogged down with excess material. I was engaged nearly the whole way through, and Corwin is truly a protagonist whose claim to the throne I can get behind. The only reason I'm not giving this five stars is because if anything, I do think the pacing was rushed overall. I was glad the book didn't dance around big events and that it moved forward rapidly...but it did so, at times, too rapidly. I would've also liked less time dedicated to describing passages in and out of Amber, and even more time spent on Zelazny's truly fantastic character interactions.
