Had to buy another physical copy of this book because I lost my copy. How does one even loose a book this big? And no I didn‘t lend it out or leave it somewhere. Did it just sprout legs and walk away? Also this is one of my all time favorite book series.

pickThe author travels all over the world, chasing the (hi)stories of various jewels.
A very well structured book. Each jewel gets its own section, and we pursue it from the ancient times to the modern, and from the jeweler to the mines it was dug up in (the author visits those mines, and often tries mining herself). It‘s fascinating, coherent, and flows really well.
5/5

at some point when I asked for the next Amber book this last weekend, partner gave up and just gave me all ten. (I won't be rereading the Merlin cycle though)
Fifth and last book of the first cycle. Since Merlin's story isn't nearly as good, this will be the last reread I do today, I need to fold some laundry and perhaps lay a jigsaw puzzle.
reading Amber books for fun and no profit. This one is in pretty rough shape, but it's not its fault, it's older than I am.
Stuck on the couch for health reasons unrelated to my right ankle, so I decided that rereads counts this year and I may as well read the first five Amber books since I'm not in the mood for Hamnet (besides, it's too heavy to read on my back.)
so guess who got pulled back into the Amber Cycle? hint: it wasn't Nelly, though she looks like it.
Bored, listing nine favourites, part 6: Technically the entire Amber Cycle but here's the first one: Nine Princes In Amber. A man wakes up in a hospital bed with no memory of who he is or how he got there, other than that he's been overdrugged for a while. Then it gets weirder; the Amber books are secondary world fantasy about the dynastic struggle over the true world, the one of the which every other world, including our own, is just a shadow.⬇️
