Review ebook The Hand of Oberon

The previous book ended literally in mid-sentence and this one picks up right there. For this reason I have to be very vague in my plot description to avoid spoilers. I will just hit the highlights. Corwin learned very interesting facts about the cosmology of the world of Amber.

Needless to say practically everything he (and by extension the readers) knew turned out to be wrong. It is by the way not the last time when this happens.

Corwin also finally learned the full truth regarding the events The previous book ended literally in mid-sentence and this one picks up right there.

Needless to say practically everything he (and by extension the readers) knew turned out to be wrong. It is by the way not the last time when this happens.

Corwin also finally learned the full truth regarding the events that left him where we found the guy in the beginning of the series – a psychiatric ward. At the same time the true villain emerges from the shadows. Out hero is told the only reason he is still alive the said villain did not want to spill Corwin’s blood on a fancy carpet; such things are always nice to know.

Random became a family man, Benedict had to face an uneasy truth, Julian did some more explaining – this time about the events of the first book, and absolutely nobody was bored. The last several paragraphs presented a very unexpected event. Was it good or bad for the future? Next book will tell.

As usual both kinds of Amber world travels: via Trumps and shadows were great and exciting (from my point of view I never found them repetitive), some excellent duels were fought, and Benedict got to use his cool prosthetic hand. This is a unique series in the sense that if you want to understand how Amber world is built, a serious workout of imagination is required in each book as you always learn something that forces you to re-think your ideas.

My ratings for the previous books of the series were 5 stars with no exception and I am not about to create one now. It should be obvious that I am a big fan of the series and I lost count to the number of times I read it.
