Rating: Summary: Corwin and the family reunion Review: Corwin decides to see if it's possible to rescue Brother Brand, and gets the rest of his siblings involved in the action. What becomes unfortunately apparent is that one of them wants him dead, and that family politics are always a lot more complicated than they look when it comes to the Amber royal house. A lot of great information about the family dynamics comes to light here. A readable, fascinating installment in a readable, fascinating series.
Rating: Summary: The Best Yet! Review: I read the first two books, and I thought they were pretty good, but this book is by far the best! The plot becomes so much more complex and interesting, (Not that it wasn't good before) and the characters become so much more interesting. I hope the next two are more like this!
Rating: Summary: Long lost brother. Review: The main theme of book three is the family reuniting to try to find Brand. The whole way through the book you'll be wondering who imprisoned him, all of the siblings add their own pontification and each has very valid points. You'll never guess who it was.
Also, new shadows are introduced (the world of the clouds has to be my favorite so far), and some great new Questions arise. The main one being: is Amber itself a shadow? And are Corwinn and his siblings princes' of the true Amber?
If you read the first two I'm not sure why you would even be reading this, but if you haven't I would recommend the first two highly and trust me they only get better and better.
Rating: Summary: Book three just doesnt quit... Review: The third installment of this exceptional series continues the thrills and lays on the intrigue as we deal more thoroughly with the royal family of Amber...they make my family look like the Bradys...and Corwin continues to kick a$$ and take names. Arguably the most intelligent, well-written, and exciting fantasy series ever written.
Rating: Summary: The Best Yet! Review: The third installment of Zelazny's Amber series is by far his best--providing you prefer talk to action, that is. It starts out with an action packed flashback, filling in some information gaps from earlier novels, but its most fascinating moments occur when the venom starts spewing from the gathered Royal Family. Best of all, it would seem some of the questions plaguing poor Corwin through the two previous books are finally answered--only to provide him with more headaches, and a stabbing pain in his side. Of especial note is our introduction to Princess Fiona, one more enigma for Corwin and for us.
