Nine Princes in Amber: Amber #1 | 
pickThis 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
Bored, listing nine favourites, part 6: Technically the entire Amber Cycle but here's the first one: Nine Princes In Amber. A man wakes up in a hospital bed with no memory of who he is or how he got there, other than that he's been overdrugged for a while. Then it gets weirder; the Amber books are secondary world fantasy about the dynastic struggle over the true world, the one of the which every other world, including our own, is just a shadow.⬇️
“I like libraries. It makes me feel comfortable and secure to have walls of words, beautiful and wise, all around me. I always feel better when I can see that there is something to hold back the shadows.”
Remembering Roger Zelazny on his birthday.
panA beautiful Easton Press edition but unfortunately oil pretty much hated this book. I‘m working on a video idea for my booktube channel, otherwise I would have DNF‘d. The amnesia thing was annoying, the anticlimactic ending to literally every problem was just pathetic.
pickSo this was nothing like what I expected but I enjoyed every minute of it. It doesn‘t really stand alone because there are various threads left hanging but I definitely liked it enough to keep going with the series.

Started Nine Princes in Amber today and was soon joined by my little reading buddy. I went into this one cold and it did not start out at all like I expected it to. #CatsOfLitsy
Look how beautiful this is and it‘s a library book! I also don‘t think it‘s every been read before, the binding is still very tight and creaky when you open it. Neat!

It‘s #manicmonday and with the #lettern I found it hard to stick to one choice and changed my answers multiple times.

“There is Shadow and there is Substance, and this is the root of all things. Of Substance, there is only Amber, the real city, upon the real Earth, which contains everything. Of Shadow, there is an infinitude of things. Every possibility exists somewhere as a Shadow of the real.” #shadows #QuotsyApril18
I'm sort of cheating for #NovemberbytheNumbers #9 because I've already posted about this book recently, but it's the only book I own with nine in the title, unless you count 1984 or 1985! This one I have read, and it's to blame for sidetracking me from my #LitsyAtoZ reads. Once I start a series, I have to binge!
I see someone else thought of #Nine Princes in Amber for #novemberbythenumbers. I had a good time reading this book (and first four others in the Amber Chronicles), but ultimately wasn‘t a huge fan and didn‘t continue the series.
Well, I don't really have a favourite from October; I had 6 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ reads and 3 ⭐️⭐️ reads. However, I did have fun reading 80s teen romance novels for #HorrifiedReads! Thanks for the trip down memory lane @RestlessFickleBookSlut! I only made it through 4 out of the 50+ stack, so I think I might keep on reading them. It's been quite the experience! #SpookyOctober #OctoberFavorites #UncannyOctober #BestofOctober
pickBook one of the Chronicles of Amber ended up being my choice for Z. I originally intended to read a zombie graphic novel, but I just don't have the mindset for that sort of thing right now. This book was different than what I expected, but I enjoyable. I found Zelazny's writing a bit inconsistent, so mostly I liked it, but at times it seemed rushed and a bit rough. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series. 3.5⭐️ #LitsyAtoZ
#StayoutSaturday: as in stay out of my way, I'm reading? Or let's go out and stay out late? Or that house looks haunted so maybe we should stay out? Anyway, this is Stay Put Saturday for me. It's been a cold, gloomy, rainy day so I've hardly strayed from the couch except to get more tea. #Hallowreads
I'm finally diving into The Chronicles of Amber! I decided to make this my #LitsyAtoZ pick for Z since this series has been on my #TBR list for way too long. #BookandDrink #UncannyOctober
The first book in the fabulous 10-volume "Chronicles of Amber" series. #PublishedInThe1970s #JubilantJuly
pick'Nine Princes in Amber' is an enjoyable fantasy romp with an interesting premise and a likable lead character. The prose is nothing to write home about, but the story moves quickly and engages really effectively from start to finish. Would recommend to fantasy lovers.
