Oh yeah, at first I was like "who is this God and the Saints WTF?" but IANTHE <33 and Mercy and Augustine were hilarious. I was pretty fucken gobsmacked when people came back in the shuttle, tho. Lots of loooong games being played, apparently, and our two girls are such carefully built chess-pieces/bombs.
Oh man I don't know if Zelazny ages that well -- I was reading him as a tween and Amber sunk really deeply into my psyche. I most enjoyed the first five books of the Chronicles, written in the seventies, altho I know other younger people who grew up with the next five, written in the eighties, who imprinted on those. I just couldn't get into them though. I'd recommend reading the first one! The narrative voice is very entertaining.
