This is a rather interesting beginning. The vocabulary is a bit dated, since the book was first published in 1972. I can see why this series was published in an omnibus - this first book, though exciting as it went on, was hardly concluded by its finish. The narrator is sympathetic and interesting - and the royal family of Amber is even more fascinating as a whole. The magic involved is quite unique. In conjunction with the vivid writing I am very interested to see where Corwin goes next - and I hope to hear more about his past!
