Eric and Brand have different views, as the Princesses of Amber occupy key parts of their intrigues, especially in dealing with Corwin.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03308478013021594958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088837105316583907.post-33410108828839624922016-10-08T04:01:58.668-07:002016-10-08T04:01:58.668-07:00Oh, I should mention I haven't read all of the...Oh, I should mention I haven't read all of the books. I don't know if they end up being important, just that, for what I have read, they don't seem to matter that much.<br /><br />The two statements about the sisters I remember are one about how stupid Flora is, and this one: "What about my sisters? Forget it. Bitches all, they."<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00400083349822988496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088837105316583907.post-18191578461401810762016-10-07T11:17:58.521-07:002016-10-07T11:17:58.521-07:00I have to disagree that the Princesses of Amber do...I have to disagree that the Princesses of Amber don't matter all that much. They have no chance at the throne, but they play the same game of jockeying for position as the lesser brothers. Like Random, they know their chances are slim, but still they ally with one brother or another, and provide aid and solace to Corwin at his low point in order to strike back at Eric. Without their aid, Corwin spends eternity in a hospital with a needle in his arm.<br /><br />The more I think about the 70s tone, the less it bothers me. Corwin wakes up in the 1970s, and has clearly spent some time in our world. It would be natural for him to adopt contemporary styles of speech, and hang on to them even after years spent on the road to Amber. He's like the 40 year old guy who still uses slang two decades out of date because...well, that's what he has always said.JonMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705424889025942210noreply@blogger.com
