-We are halfay through the Corwin saga and Zelazny decides to step up.
-The first book were a linear sprint to the end.
-Sign of the Unicorn is much slower for one.
-But it also marks the point when Roger finally convinced me the he understands the word he creates.

+Sign of the Unicorn is much slower than the previous ones, 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.
-The world building is sidestepping for character bulding, and I for one am fully for this.

 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.
-In fact a lot of what we though we knew turns out to be wrong.

-The only downside, at this point, is that everyone important is Corwin's relative or aquaitance.
-I get that if you got your position of power purerly from the family, the same family will be the center of your life, but _come on!_.

 I want to get to know someone else!
