Zelazny lost it later in life. I think he really hit his peak with Lord of Light and everything else was a slow decline. Not missing much. Zelazny lost it later in life.

Man, were those hard to track down at the library when I was a kid. Still on my list of things to add to my physical library of course. I never got around to reading any of the later Amber stuff though, it just didn't look interesting to me. Yep, I enjoyed the Amber series as well.

I never got around to reading any of the later Amber stuff though, it just didn’t look interesting to me.

He doesn't muck around, things happen fast and furious. Great read. If you want a quick, fast and fun fantasy try Roger Zelazny’s Amber series. He doesn’t muck around, things happen fast and furious.

To themselves. Sometimes, you just don't need it. I understand someone who just wants you to get lost in this world they've created. But then you'd better weave it so tightly that I get to the five-hundred-ninety-eighth page without even realizing it.
