Over the past month.
“The Chronicles of Amber” by Roger Zelazny, all ten books (“Nine Princes in Amber,” “Guns of Avalon,” “Sign of the Unicorn,” “The Hand of Oberon,” “The Courts of Chaos,” “Sign of Chaos,” “Blood of Amber,” “The Prince of Chaos,” “Knight of Shadows,” “Prince of Chaos”).
I enjoyed the first five parts, “The Corwin Cycle,” the most. A very captivating and intricate plot about the struggle for the throne, an interesting author’s writing style, and an original universe.
In “The Merlin Cycle,” the series becomes less impressive – magic, fireballs, the confrontation of superpowers; all of this brings the series closer to ordinary, albeit masterfully written, fantasy.
Exactly, Zelazny is read in one sitting. It’s rare for an entire series to be successful. I can only recall the original “Foundation” trilogy by the remarkable Russian science fiction writer Isaac Asimov.
(Let the Americans say that Isaac Asimov is their remarkable science fiction writer, but they are wrong. :smile42:)
And secondly, “The Black Company” by Glen Cook, also 10 books.
I’m reading “The Old Year” by Kir Bulychev. Before that, I read his “Favorite.”
In my opinion, he is the last great Russian science fiction writer, along with Boris Strugatsky and Krapivin.
