What a writer! This book flows so well that I felt like I was cruising down a river. Check out this novel and the nine princes and the princesses who hale from a mythical city called Amber. They can keep in contact through a specialized deck of cards with their images. The city is the center of the world with other worlds existing in shadow. The idea is original and creative.
Only one prince can rule Amber, however, while others may rule shadow cities. The key character is Corwin who is recovering from amnesia. He realizes that he is a member of a family competing to rule the city of Amber. The last half of the book focues on Corwin's conflict with his brother, Eric. The tale is first in a series written from Corwin's view and later, from his son's. If you like fantasy you will probably enjoy this series. I know that I did and plan to read more about Corwin's adventures in the following tales.
