5.0 out of 5 stars Not much action, but who cares? 9 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This, the third instalment of the Chronicles of Amber, is an absolute classic. If you're just looking for lots of fighting you might be disappointed, but when it comes to plot scheming, back stabbing, Machiavellian intrigue this can't be beaten!

From the very beginning we are confronted with new mysteries, even while tying up some old ones. The story finally centres on the true city, and it is here that we get to see the Amberites the way they truly are. To say the least it is an eye opener!

This book is one of the very best of the Amber series. We start to get an inkling that all the things we've been seeing up until now are only the peripheral effects of some deep, sinister, world destroying problem. The characters acquire yet more depth, and every page is simply a joy to read as you immerse yourself in the atmosphere.

It deserves every one of those five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Long lost brother. 30 Sep 2004
By G Smith - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The main theme of book three is the family reuniting to try to find Brand. The whole way through the book you'll be wondering who imprisoned him, all of the siblings add their own pontification and each has very valid points. You'll never guess who it was.

Also, new shadows are introduced (the world of the clouds has to be my favorite so far), and some great new Questions arise. The main one being: is Amber itself a shadow? And are Corwinn and his siblings princes' of the true Amber?

If you read the first two I'm not sure why you would even be reading this, but if you haven't I would recommend the first two highly and trust me they only get better and better.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Yet! 27 Sep 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I read the first two books, and I thought they were pretty good, but this book is by far the best! The plot becomes so much more complex and interesting, (Not that it wasn't good before) and the characters become so much more interesting. I hope the next two are more like this!

5.0 out of 5 stars The series take another step up 21 Feb 2012
By Brent Butler - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is my thrid time through the Amber series, and my first time in many years. I've always considered this series to be brilliant and fascinating, and I'm enjoying it as much the third time as the first.

In Sign of the Unicorn, the mystery in the series comes fully into focus. We get the explanation of the strange attackers who were after Random in the first book. We find out more about the story of the missing Brand. We get more information about how and why Corwin came to be in the state he was in at the start of Book 1.

There is a great deal of exploration of Corwin's brothers and sisters and their possible motives, or lack thereof, to be behind the problems that have beset Amber and its first family for the last several years. There is some action, but a lot of it is very cerebral stuff, which I appreciate immensely. This is a very fine read and a stunning vehicle to propel readers into the series' concluding books.
