Zelany has begun to nail down his characters and the settings he has been writing about. Until now, he's had trouble defining the aspects of the story, staying dreamy and vauge. Now we're seeing a much better defined cast, and I can't wait to read the next installment.

Très chouette volume, une belle montée en puissance de l'histoire générale, beaucoup plus intéressant point de vue intrigues et compréhension du monde et des Ombres, globalement la saga devient de plus en plus intéressante à chaque tome, c'est assez rare.

Okay so I don't know if it's binge fatigue or the fact that this is very much a transitional installment in the series but I wasn't quite as enthusiastic during the read as I was for the first two. This installment felt different than the first and I would guess that it's because Corwin has triumphed in some aspects but then a whole new mess of drama is coming down now. So the story has no real big bad enemy feeling that the first two had with Eric being so prominent. I mean the whole family is still a bunch of treacherous d bags and there's all that infighting but the overall arc seems to be shifting away from the politics of the throne and more into the world as we know it is ending. There was less of that cliffhanger feel at the end of this which was nice and I'm still invested enough to continue on with the series.

At least I know what's going on this time.

Finished "Sign of the Unicorn" (Amber Chronicles 3) by Roger Zelazny. What can I say? The story continues. The Unicorn made an appearance. Is there such a thing as too much order? This book says "yes."

Not as dynamic as the first two - quite a large part is quite static, with people talking, scheming and stabbing each other - but still pretty good. Change of pace allows Zelazny to go psychodelic in his descriptions of visions Corwin experiences, while the final cliffhanger provides a change of perspective on quite a bit of the story so far.

Good, but a whole lot of nothing happens.

The end was a bit abrupt, but since I am reading the ominibus version on my reader, I can go on to the next one. A good series of Science Fiction/Fantasy. I'm enjoying the story.
