Mini review: The Chronicles of Amber (ten books)
<p>I just finished reading (for the first time in more than a decade) The Chronicles of Amber, a fantasy series written by Roger Zelazny. The first book, Nine Princes in Amber, was written in 1970, and the tenth and final, Prince of Chaos, in 1991. In the books, Amber is a real place and everything else (including the earth we know) is a “shadow” of Amber, of which there are an infinite number and variety. The royal family of Amber is able to travel through these shadows. The royal family is also largely dysfunctional, conniving, and murderous.</p><p>The first five books are told from the point of view of Corwin, who awakens in a hospital in England, realizes he’s being unnecessarily drugged, escapes, but doesn’t know who he is. This is a gem of a series - very clever and inventive, with satisfying character growth and lots of intrigue. Very enjoyable and highly recommended.</p><p>The second five books are told from the point of view of Merlin, Corwin’s son. These are much more flawed. The main issues I had with them are:</p><p><p>The magic in the Corwin books is pretty limited (though really interesting), and so Corwin has to solve his problems by figuring out clever solutions and working with people. In the Merlin books, all sorts of magic is available, and Merlin uses it liberally, which often feels contrived.</p><br><p>Corwin is a seasoned veteran, suspicious of most everyone, and that’s reasonably satisfying in a main character. Merlin is significantly younger, and so it makes sense that Zelazny draws him as much more naive and easily manipulated, but those are frustrating qualities in a main character.</p><br><p>It almost felt like Zelazny just wanted to get through the story. There are characters who pop up to move the plot along, and then are never heard from again. Characters who spent their lives doing one thing suddenly have a change of heart.</p></p><p>The books are all fairly short - just barely long enough to qualify as novels, not novellas - so the time investment for each is small. If you read the first five and enjoy them, it’s worth reading the rest to see how things turn out. They’re honestly entertaining enough, just not to the level of the first five.</p>

![In a strange little home built into the branches of a grove of trees, live three robots—fatherly inventor android Giovanni Lawson, a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, and a small vacuum desperate for love and attention. Victor Lawson, a human, lives there too. They’re a family, hidden and safe.
The day Vic salvages and repairs an unfamiliar android labeled “HAP,” he learns of a shared dark past between Hap and Gio–a past spent hunting humans.
When Hap unwittingly alerts robots from Gio’s former life to their whereabouts, the family is no longer hidden and safe. Gio is captured and taken back to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams. So together, the rest of Vic’s assembled family must journey across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommission, or worse, reprogramming.
Along the way to save Gio, amid conflicted feelings of betrayal and affection for Hap, Vic must decide for himself: Can he accept love with strings attached?
Inspired by Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio, and like Swiss Family Robinson meets Wall-E, In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful stand-alone fantasy adventure from the beloved author who brought you The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door.
An epic quest of rescue and discovery [with] the author’s trademark charm, heart, and bittersweetness. Library Journal, starred review
