Review ebook Sign of the Unicorn
The last book ended with Corwin achieving practically everything he wanted. Unfortunately he inherited a big mess of affairs as well as assurances of several different parties that Amber would be destroyed. This book finds him trying to understand was was going on since the time he regained his memory – it turns out his fatal auto accident holds clues to present situation.
It does not help that the royal siblings are found of sticking knives into each other’s backs at a drop of a hat.

Unfortunately he inherited a big mess of affairs as well as assurances of several different parties that Amber would be destroyed. This book finds him trying to understand was was going on since the time he regained his memory – it turns out his fatal auto accident holds clues to present situation.
It does not help that the royal siblings are found of sticking knives into each other’s backs at a drop of a hat. I would call this their favorite pastime. Anyway, some answers emerge, but nobody can guarantee they are true. Even more questions appear. In fact the book ends in one big question: what did those people find?
If the description seems vague I really could not do better with the third book of the series without big spoilers. Every time I read the series (I lost could of the number of rereads) I cannot help but wonder at Zelazny’s imagination. This combined with great writing and the ability to cram lots of ideas into measly 140 pages makes the series unmatched classic. Can anybody name a great modern fantasy book which take less than 500 pages? I cannot.
This time we get the do even more Shadow traveling, Trump teleportation, visit mysterious and dreamlike Tir-na Nóg’th, get a glimpse of the real Pattern, and witness royal kids trying their best to reduce their own number. What is not to love?
In case somebody still had not figured it out I am a big fan of the series and this book – just like almost any other – gets 5 undisputed stars. Fantasy classic, and do not let anybody else tell you otherwise. …more
