Ambers biography
I read 2 books of the first Pentateuch. What can be said to be one of the worst works from ever read. And it seems like a short book at all that does not allow the author to turn around, but it is not even clear that he wants it. What awaits the reader. The author is conducted by the author in the first person, as a result all the time I am I am I am, sometimes it is not clear even that this is a literary work or a report.
Ala passages “I saw the path. I followed her. With humor, it is completely trouble. The fighting is described in such a way that it would be better not to try. They clapped their hands-the army appeared in the combat units, then we read the description of the enemy army of the next ala “weapons was very diverse” well, apparently who has a pitchfork, who has a blaster, someone with a fork, clap their hands and the army looks like the battle of the piano in bushes with soap bubbles.
But then we describe how 1 the main character with a saber overhead 10 people chopped into cabbage, how he chopped the first, then the second, then the third, etc. and the most incomprehensible, and why the main character needs, if he can find any other world in the shadows?
The author described the ambition of GG at the level of "mine! An inflated pathos, an inflated scale, constant pulling of events by the ears, cardboard characters and dialogs are the same. I can’t recommend this cycle even to children, despite the fact that the children will eat like that, but there are too many good books to read such a junk. I could not stand it and threw at the end of the second book, sat down to read the Vera Kamshu “Red on Red” and after the very first page relieved, here the aristocrats are behaving like aristocrats and literary language and characters are similar to people, of course their nuances, but these are literature, and not a report on the adventure of mummers.
I heard good reviews about the cycle at 16 years, but did not read, and I understood two decades later, not in vain. This cannot be called literature fully, it really looks like the first books of a novice author, who did not bother to study the materiel not only within the chosen subject, but also in literary form. Assessment: no [10] Jaivey, November 12, Ah, how do you want to share my indignation regarding this book opus.
Having read the enthusiastic reviews about the epic and scale of this work, an exquisite language and the need to read it to each self -respecting fantasy, I decided to order the book “Chronicles of Aber” to my library. Yes, not just a book, but a complete collection of 10 stories to name individual parts with novels does not turn the language, which became my biggest mistake in reader life.
And now, having received a pondered brick of an elegant black color, with a proudly flaunting on the cover the inscription “Master of world science fiction” I began to read and read almost pages. And all these pages did not leave me that I was reading some low-grade fan fiction: the most primitive language, but Zhelyaznaya had a degree of a master of literature, ridiculous dialogs, a plot jumping “gallop in Europe” and other joys, which I did not expect to see in such a work.
Sokolov, everything was the same. The narrative is more like a crumpled biography, almost the entire text consists of "I went here, I did that, and then I took it and now I'm there." What scale and epic can be discussed when, it would seem, serious and fateful battles are described in this way: “There were five hundred, all on horseback. Black cavalry appeared, we met her. Five minutes later they were broken, we moved on ”???
And this is where it went. Click the plot opening the plot opening to see in the first book the whole campaign of Corvin and Blaise against Eric is described literally as “we were, then we lost in the mountains, and then in the skirmishes we lost so much”, “we took the ship for boarding, and then I jumped onto the other and captured it, and then we captured two of our ships, and then we captured two of our ships, and then we captured two of our ships, and then we captured two of our ships.
Lost. " Well, then, our brave prince, of course, scattered all the enemies with one phalanx of his little finger, but still got captive of what horror! What is it at all? This is the “fantasy masterpiece”, a work that is put on a par with the works of Tolkien, Herbert? There are also enough questions for the plot and characters. Why Eric is bad, and our little young man is good, I did not understand the pages.
Why the reader must empathize with a person who, without hesitation, sends his thousands of thousands to slaughter, and then openly throws them to the mercy of fate, escaping with the help of a magic deck of Tarot cards. The characters disappear from the reader’s field of view as rapidly as they appear. Of all the princes, he aroused genuine interest, except for a rod rand.
Click the spoiler opening the plot to see the final twist with the regeneration of scorched eyes - this is just something.Yes, yes, I realized that the main character is a sort of sorcerer-prinz-Sumepment of thousands of measurements, but how ridiculous it looked, it seems that in the nearby bushes there was a roying workshop after this read further all kinds of interest.
I’m not sure whether it will be “better - better” or the following books will send me to the race for the old rakes, but, at least the setting, the world of Amber itself is really intriguing - the idea is great, but the implementation is just trouble and I hope that this is only for now. Even if this is indeed the first books of the Amber chronicles are really stylized by Roger Zhelyazza for steep detectives, this explains, at best, 10 percent of the work of the work, and then it is extremely doubtful.
The absence of the logic of what is happening, the laws of the world invented on the go, the actions of the heroes, the only motivation of which is “well, because I decided so, VOOT” - all this cannot be justified by the so -called “stylization”. In general, this is your amber hack. Holtura is epic and large -scale. Assessment: 3 Error, July 22 G. This is a complex and at the same time simple work, written with an exquisite taste, which created an interesting atmosphere and a unique world.
Cool characters, elements of a detective and a world full of intrigue made this reading unforgettable. I advise you to read this cycle to everyone who loves adventures with many intrigues. After reading the Chronicles Amber, I read many more cycles, but in contrast I understand that they were not so catchy and were not so original. An equal role was played by a translation that helped convey the whole depth and complexity of the world of Amber.
The cycle describes the world of Amber, which is the “true” world, and other worlds, including the Earth, are only its shadows. Amber and the kingdom of chaos are the opposite poles of the world, where Ambert is the world of a sword, and chaos is a world of magic. Nine children of King Amber Oberon are potential heirs of the throne, and they weave intrigues against each other, not understanding more global things than the thirst for the throne.
The first half of the cycle tells on behalf of Corvin, one of the members of the family reigning in the amber of the family, who has every chance of becoming the ruler of Amber. The second half narrates on behalf of Merlin - the son of Corvin and the gifts from the kingdom of Chaos, who must choose between Amber and Chaos, which will forever change the balance of the world. I recommend it to everyone who loves complex and interesting stories with a unique world and cool characters.
Assessment: 10 [23] SERSIT, June 10, I don’t know, maybe I'm not a fan of the fantasy genre, but the “chronic” did not go in any way. A boring story, uninteresting heroes, the world is not registered. I quit reading in the middle of the third book. I attribute so many enthusiastic reviews only on lovers of nostalgia who read this work in the beginning of x. Assessment: 3 Groucho Marx, November 16.
The worst in this bad series of heroic fantasy is not even a primitive language and not a confused plot, devoid of elementary logic. The worst is a description of Amber himself. According to the author, Ambert is the center of the universe and even a huge number of alternative universes, all worlds are only a weak and dull reflection of Amber. But in reality, Zhelyzes describes not even Disneyland, but only a certain castle standing on a mountain, at the foot of which there are a couple of villages.
What, in fact, is this the center of millions of universes? This is the most beautiful that can imagine Zhelyazy? And a crowd of grateful readers perceives this crap with enthusiasm and cries "masterpiece! Truly, is it surprisingly really these boys of different ages, from 14 to 75, but mentally and intellectually remaining the same inkhrane little boys so easy to impress? Or for inescapable indelibleness, the inscription “Golden series F is also necessary, I understand the resentment of aging boys at my non -postorg before this“ masterpiece ”and I am not angry with their offended disadvantages.
However, I remain with my opinion: a talented writer and smart person Roger Zhelyazy simply fucked an infantile audience, cynically arranging all bait in the style of “The reader is waiting for rhyme“ Roses ”? On now, take her soon! But he could do it. Zhelyzia has many good novels. Evaluation: 2 [7] Aiursun, June 28. I read the first Pentateuch on morally strong-willed a couple of times throwing-still praised, maybe something is wrong with me.
From the sixth book, he quit it to read. Princes and princesses are poorly distinguishable, there are descriptions of places and people, but they are some faded non-clinging, from the battles only climbing the stairs were remembered. And recently I read from the similar Martin and Surzhikov and realized - everything is fine with me just this cycle is overestimated.
Then I will go to read Jordan. By the way, with a witcher, a similar story, but he still seemed more interesting. Interestingly, those who put 10 and 9 they read? Either someone advised them and didn’t read their hands, or they didn’t read anything else, or I got a fucking assessment: 2 [12] Gavv, December 12, I am not a special fan of fantasy, but I read the rings of the rings and the song of ice and flame several times and I consider masterpieces.
Sometimes I try to evaluate other famous works. Well, I read the chronicles. The world is not completely disclosed.Yes, the idea is original, but the amber itself is practically not spelled out. What is its splendor? An ordinary medieval dull city. For the sake of which the struggle for power is generally not clear.
