Welcome to Litsy!

Gift 🎁 … I‘ve read the first story. Fantastic! 🎉

So I really enjoyed this read and I learned a lot about amber …. And the complexity of fishing and boating.. good first book

This was fantastic! It‘s short but the series isn‘t!

The 1st person dialog is great! There‘s mystery, intrigue. There are 9 princes of Amber, the 1 true world. This is the story of 1 who woke up on Shadow Earth w/out his memories & must go to Amber to contend with his 8 brothers.

Great MC! Unique world built from the bottom up with detailed expansion! Quick read! I can see why these 10 stories are packaged as an omnibus. CLIFFHANGER!

4.25 stars

Had to buy another physical copy of this book because I lost my copy. How does one even loose a book this big? And no I didn‘t lend it out or leave it somewhere. Did it just sprout legs and walk away? Also this is one of my all time favorite book series.

The author travels all over the world, chasing the (hi)stories of various jewels.

A very well structured book. Each jewel gets its own section, and we pursue it from the ancient times to the modern, and from the jeweler to the mines it was dug up in (the author visits those mines, and often tries mining herself). It‘s fascinating, coherent, and flows really well.

5/5

at some point when I asked for the next Amber book this last weekend, partner gave up and just gave me all ten. (I won't be rereading the Merlin cycle though)

Fifth and last book of the first cycle. Since Merlin's story isn't nearly as good, this will be the last reread I do today, I need to fold some laundry and perhaps lay a jigsaw puzzle.

reading Amber books for fun and no profit. This one is in pretty rough shape, but it's not its fault, it's older than I am.
