Sara's reading log

I am a book hoarder and reader. My main genre is SF, but I also love magic realism, fantasy and general fiction. Favorite authors are Iain M. Banks, Ursula K. LeGuin, Haruki Murakami, José Saramago, Isaac Asimov, Ben Aaronovitch and more. My rating system is based on five stars. I rate books based on my expectations and what a books aims to be. This means that the brilliant 'Fahrenheit 451' gets five stars because I thought it would be good, people said it was good, and it was good, but 'A Closed and Common Orbit' also gets five stars because in its series, in its style, I really enjoyed it and was not disappointed.

Part three in the Amber Chronicles. Corwin is regent of Amber, but is being framed for a murder. Meanwhile he is still trying to figure out what those creatures were that followed Random to Flora’s house back in book one. Corwin finds out more and more about the true nature of Amber, and about what his siblings have been up to ever since he disappeared so many years ago. The Black Road is still a growing threat to Amber, and slowly Corwin learns more about that too.
Another continuation that reads more like part 3 in a large book. Three out of five stars.
