5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Yet!, September 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sign of the Unicorn (Thorndike Press Large Print Science Fiction Series) (Hardcover)

I read the first two books, and I thought they were pretty good, but this book is by far the best! The plot becomes so much more complex and interesting, (Not that it wasn't good before) and the characters become so much more interesting. I hope the next two are more like this!

This review is from: Sign of the Unicorn (Amber Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)

The main theme of book three is the family reuniting to try to find Brand. The whole way through the book you'll be wondering who imprisoned him, all of the siblings add their own pontification and each has very valid points. You'll never guess who it was.

Also, new shadows are introduced (the world of the clouds has to be my favorite so far), and some great new Questions arise. The main one being: is Amber itself a shadow? And are Corwinn and his siblings princes' of the true Amber?

If you read the first two I'm not sure why you would even be reading this, but if you haven't I would recommend the first two highly and trust me they only get better and better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little action but brilliant Amberian conversation highlight, October 24, 1997

This review is from: Sign of the Unicorn (Amber Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)

The third installment of Zelazny's Amber series is by far his best--providing you prefer talk to action, that is. It starts out with an action packed flashback, filling in some information gaps from earlier novels, but its most fascinating moments occur when the venom starts spewing from the gathered Royal Family. Best of all, it would seem some of the questions plaguing poor Corwin through the two previous books are finally answered--only to provide him with more headaches, and a stabbing pain in his side. Of especial note is our introduction to Princess Fiona, one more enigma for Corwin and for us.
