-We are halfay through the Corwin's saga and Zelazny decides to step up the game. 
-The first book were a linear sprint up to the end.
-Sign of the Unicorn is much slower than those, which is a welcome change.

-This is the best part of /Chronicles of Amber/ yet, because Zelazny seems to address most of downided the earlier boks had.
-Characters now became actual persons, with motivation and aspirations.

 As a result, the stakes are also different.
-We assumed that all the Black Road problems resulted from Corwin's curse - but there are multiple layers bellow that.
