The Hand of Oberon (188 pp.) by Roger Zelazny. (Mar. 25).If these books were being written right now, the publishing company would insist that he make these about 10 trillion pages longer. Most fantasy books are way too long. These are way too short. At the current page count, the first 5 books could be one giant tome.
I'm including this cover photo from the wiki because doesn't that look like Fabio? That's the cheesiest, most unlike the book cover I could imagine. The cover on my book is different. I bet Roger made unkind remarks about this cover when he went to dinner parties.
This is book four in a series I started last year (book #32) and continued this year (books #4 and #6). If I understand the series correctly, there are 10 books in two groups of 5 so hopefully after I read #5 I won't have to drop everything to get my hands on the next 5.
The story is way too much to condense into a short review. See comment above about 10 trillion pages. Our hero Corwin continues to navigate his complicated family and nobody is exactly who he/she seems. Excellent series.
I started book 5 the minute I finished this one.
