Roger Zelazny

I don't recall when I was introduced to Zelazny's Amber, other than it was sometime during Secondary School (age 11-16). But it was probably by my dad, and must have been a couple of years before the first book of the second Amber series was published, Trumps of Doom in May 1985, because I know I had read all five books of the Corwin series well before the Merlin series came out.

​

I have to confess as having enjoyed the Corwin series more than the Merlin series, but I am not so obsessed with the first series, that I would dismiss the second series, as some seem to do. Why they do is anyone's guess and very much their problem. Zelazny wrote and published them, so they are canon, and everyone needs to just get over it.
