How lovely to see a whole herd of Amber fans! I also have the picture book of Amber, but I've never seen the "big book" of Amber. Do you all know that there is an Amber Role playing game? It's big fun! I was a GM for a game of it years ago. It's a difficult game to GM, since there are so many possibilities! And your players can literally go off into shadows and do anything! But it was big fun. I did have to recomend that all my players read at least some of the books, it's just too hard to explain that world simply!

Welcome, Bregalad! I think they should give Amber its own section! Since Andustar has disappeared
maybe someone else can answer my trivia question about who Corwin's grandma is!

Roger Zelazny is certainly a favorite author. The Amber series is possibly his best work, but some of his other stories are also great.
The Dreammaster, Damnation Alley, and Lord of Light are some others well worth reading. Dreammaster and Damnation Alley have both been made into movies. Enjoy, Putz |

Sorry to disagree...but...Dworkin drew the first Pattern. He learned how from the Jewel of Judgement that the Unicorn gave him! Re-read the part in "The Hand of Oberon" where Dworkin is telling Corwin(he thinks it's Oberon) of the origins of Amber.

Oops, I mispoke! My bad! Of course Dworkin drew the pattern!

Also, from what I've read...the Unicorn stole the Jeweled Eye(the Jewel of Judgement) from the Serpent. I think the Unicorn was a Chaos being because...everything was Chaos before the Pattern...hence (she) was probably a shapeshifter. What's weird, is that the Serpent's Eye contained a pattern! !
What are your thoughts on this...Bregalad? Also...have you read his novel "Roadmarks"...another great time travel story! If you have, I have a great trivia question from that one, too!

I just got the Amber omnibus. I'm on to the fourth book and I am absolutely amazed! It's confusing in alot of places, but that's because the politics are so convoluted. But then again, i like that kind of book. Now that I have a break from school I have more time to read. It's already looking like this series is going to make it into my all-time favourite list, and I usually wouldn't say that without finishing something.

Dang, Ringbearer, it's been so long since I read the second series I don't even have an opinion on that! Can you imagine...ME without an opinion of something! LOL! I'll have to try to dig those books out again!
I've never read the "roadmarks". Think I should try to find it?

Hehe..
I recommended this series to a fantasy-reading friend of mine (I only have a few). I promised to read one of his favourite series if he would read Amber. He broke into a huge grin when I asked him how he liked it and said he finished the whole series in a week because it was so good. Yes! Caught another one. Now to work on friend number 2! |
