Book Thoughts: Amber 6+ (incomplete)
I picked up the second half of the Amber series immediately after finishing the first 5 books, and I'll not be finishing the second half.
The series continues with the first protagonist's son, and while it feels like it did a slightly better job at fleshing out the female characters this time, the new protagonist is insufferable. All the cock and confidence of the first narrator with half the sense and 1/10th the speed. Where the first half of the series would occasionally result in whiplash for going so fast, the second half continuously slows to a crawl.
I found myself zoning out entirely every time I picked it up, and by book 7 just didn't care what happened next.
And so I shall never find out.
