The story now begins to decay. It seems the author ran out of ideas after the amazing set up from the last book. In the first, Corwin has just escaped prison and you wonder how he will take revenge. In the second book, he delivers that revenge, but now he is faced with an evil greater then the one presented by his brothers and sisters.
The only thing good about this book is the explanation of all the mysteries raised in the first books. But this takes about one page worth of writing. The rest is just a filler. There is also a good summary of everything that has happened so far.
The family bickering takes a front seat again, but it's just not good enough.
Le troisième volume de la série des Princes d'Ambre. J'en garde un bon souvenir, mais bizarrement pas suffisamment pour avoir réellement envie de le relire après plusieurs années.
It was good, but it mainly serves to set the groundwork for the next book.
Très chouette volume, une belle montée en puissance de l'histoire générale, beaucoup plus intéressant point de vue intrigues et compréhension du monde et des Ombres, globalement la saga devient de plus en plus intéressante à chaque tome, c'est assez rare.
