+The fastest fantasy in the wild west continues where we left off.
+Corwin escaped his prison, and armed with newly regrown eyes, is ready for his revenge.
+
+_Chronicles of Amber_ are like nothing I've ever read.
+Mostly because I've never been into fantasy, but still.
+At no point of _Guns of Avalon_ nor of _Nine Princes in Amber_ have I felt that I'm reading a published book.
+It's rather what I would imagine as a synopsis of the book that one sends to an agent would look like.

+Characters? Screw them, they only serve a purpose.
+The world? Screw it, let's create it as we go.
+Magic system? I am sure not even Zelazny has any idea how it works at this point.
+
+But at the same time, I can't stop reading it.
+From outside, those two books I've finished sound like pulp.
+I should hate it.
+But there is so much going on, and those things happen fast.
+
+Corwin's goal this time is to buy carbines from the Royal Air Force and retake Amber.
+Yup - this magical being, from an eternal family, who is able to travel between dimensions[^fn:1], whose eyes just regrown, is planning to retake a magical land using firearms.
+And somehow it all makes sense.
+
+_Guns_ serve as a direct continuation of the first book, but the ending paints a different route the series seems to be heading.
+I am very much invested and I interested what's going to happen.
+I should hate this book, but I love it.
+
+Zelazny, you were a strange writer indeed.
+This series like a creation of some D&amp;D infused teen, and yet I can't put it away.

 I didn't find what is told here much interesting, I was not curious how they will stop the apocalypse.
 Nothing unexpected happened.
 If it was 2/3 of the current size, if some of the crust was removed, it would be a better book, as the general idea is very cool.
-But even in current state, it's very enjoyable and well worth the read _if_ you love Pratchett's style.
