This is the place to discuss John Gregory Betancourt's prequel series to the Amber Chronicles. Spoilers welcome!
Well, I have the books (at least, those that have been published thus far), but they don't approach the quality of RZ's stuff. To be fair, those are a large pair of Nikes....I don't recall being particularly amazed with the story, either...
I've read them & enjoyed them. I really want to read the 5th book or even a novella that would tie it all up. Leaving Oberon at sea, literally, is a horrible way to end a book much less leave a series.No, Betancourt isn't Zelazny & I wondered how he had the nerve to try the project. I don't see how it could do anything for his image. Still, I thought they were as well done as anyone who wasn't Zelazny could manage. I didn't go into them with any high hopes & was pleasantly surprised.
