-That's one confusing novel.
-
-Corwin wakes up in a hospital in New York with amnesia.
-But the cover of the book has castles and swords![^fn:1]
-Well, as it turns out Corwin is one of nine princes of Amber, the greatest city that has ever been.
-It is medieval-Europe, but it is said to be the greatest, so who am I to argue?
-He will need to get back there and fight for the crown with his siblings.
-
-That's the basic premise.
-What threw me off the guard (except of starting in modern-day NY) is the pace.
-I'm no fantasy know-it-all, but it appears that this genre likes to take it's sweet time.
-Authors describe every tree by every road[^fn:2].
-They love to build their worlds, lore, characters.
-Zelazny doesn't care about any of that.
-A huge battle where 20 000 people die? A paragraph seems like a proper length.
-Magic system? Yeah, let's throw a few sentences here and there.
-The main character background, looks and goals? Let's not bother.
-This is a short book (my version had just over 200 pages), but with standard wordiness, it could be a thousand pages long leather-bound brick, that would serve as a nice weapon.

-This also means that _Nine Princes in Amber_ is extremely shallow.
-There is nothing underneath - just a few awful characters, a few OK, and our Corwin.
-If there is any subtext, I must have missed it.
-And yet, I loved it.
-It's pulp, but it goes _so fast_ that I never got tired of it.
-It went _so fast_ that I had no time to get bored or lost[^fn:2].
-Guess that's why _The Chronicles of Amber_ is one of the most popular Fantasy sagas out there.
-It is inoffensive, not challenging in any way, but it's cool.
-It knows it, and doesn't pretend it.
-
-I enjoyed it for what it is.
-It's the greatest mindless fun I've had in ages.
-It's not _hardcore_ fantasy, and this may be why I liked it so much as I did.
-If anything, it's _Magnum P.I._ of the genre.

-[^fn:1]: or whatever your edition has
-[^fn:2]: hello Tolkien
