Amber is the true world. It is balanced on the other end of infinite "shadows" of itself by Chaos. The two are in an endless struggle for just a small edge to tip the balance in their favor. Either way, the end of the universe. Inhabited by a royal family with powers mere mortals cannot fathom, and the intrigue necessary to rip both Amber and Chaos to pieces. One of the possible heirs to the throne of Amber, Corwin has been missing for eons. When king Oberon suddenly disappears, the entire family becomes locked in a struggle that will end in a war with Chaos, magical beasts taking sides to tip the scales and a poker playing regent that has no interest in the job. Murder, Exstacy, Curses, Blessings, and a family twist that will knock you on your end. Greatest story I have ever read, I could not put the 10 book set down and read my copy again and again until it fell apart.

Anyone who likes fantasy, sci-fi, dramas, mysteries, even military thrillers

The fact that it balances Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Reality into a perfect balance

Some parts get very descriptive and it seems like they drag on about a simple thing.

Read it again immediately!

I had dreams of the characters and events for weeks
