74. Nine Princes in Amber–Roger Zelazny 75. Stormed Fortress–Janny Wurts

  

First in the Amber series, I’ve read this many times.  Intriguing and different magical system, with brilliant presentation of the information through the eyes of a player whose memory has been erased.

       

8th book in the Wars of Light and Shadow series.  This book represents all the things I love about reading a series as opposed to individual works. Change, based on learning, experience and exposure to events, the world deepening and revealing  before unknown depths, the characters having to survive mistakes and the vagaries of plans gone awry because of things not understood or known, or simply because people aren’t perfect.

Wonderful ending to this arc. Looking forward to finding out where in the universe the rest of the series goes.  I have no idea!  And that’s brilliant.
