(I’m not saying Martin is ripping off Zelazny. … then you’ll like them in the Amber books as well. prolific kings who happen to be crappy fathers. characters trying to burn down the old world to rule over the wreckage.characters trying to make amends for the past.guys in white armor who aren’t necessarily “good” guys.bad things happening to our hero’s opponents.Why the Amber books in particular? Well if you like these elements from A Song of Ice and Fire: It was high time to re-read Roger Zelazny’s Amber Chronicles. Although I should be reading something new, I had a yen to re-read something something great, that I knew would hit the spot. There are tons of great fantasy books available and there is no end of lists of suggested reading while waiting for the next GRRM epic. In the meantime, I felt the need to read some compelling fantasy that would be similar in many ways. George RR Martin’s next installment in the A Song of Ice and Fire saga, The Winds of Winter, won’t be out this year.
