The Fantasy Books

The Chronicles Of Amber

by Zelazny, Roger

Description

Not strictly unknown, yet still ignored by the average fantasy reader. The world of Amber is one of the most original and most interesting fantasy worlds out there - something that one might argue, rivals Tolkien’s Middle Earth (if middle earth was one of many realities). Their plots are numerous as are the characters. Part of the sheer joy found in this series is the actual sense of discovery and wonder revealed when you start reading. The first book follows the story of Corwin, the Prince of Amber - the one true world and from whom only the royal ruling family can move through the different dimensions of the world (also called the Shadow) - as he discovers his true identity and learns his place in the ruling Monarchy of all the worlds. Those who are fans of Lord of the Rings with a more science fiction bent will probably love this series. Hell, even if you don’t like Lord of the Rings, still read it!
