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.

I am happy to say that this one definitely was as fun and engaging to read as installments one and two. Three was definitely more of a transitional book which kind of dragged but after this one I'm more immersed in the world and ready to hit up the final installment. All the main players are still kind of d bags but I somewhat cares what happens to them and that's kind of conflicting lol.

I‘m on a Zelazny kick today, I guess! One of the most dysfunctional families ever? #siblings #SpringIntoReading @vkois88 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

twohectobooks Definitely! I didn‘t get along with Amber very well but Zelazny conveys “dysfunctional family” perfectly. 6y

“We were all of us, to some degree, mad after his fashion. To be honest, it had to be a form of madness, to have so much and to strive so bitterly for just a little more, for a bit of an edge over the others. He carried this tendency to its extreme, that is all. He was a caricature of this mania in all of us. In this sense, did it really matter which of us was the traitor?” #sibling #siblingrivalry #QuotsyApr19

"It has occurred to me that he probably has a pretty distorted view of the #family."
