...an old fantasy book series...

(My ears prick up)

An old fantasy series? I'm big time into old fantasy series. May I ask what it was?

The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny.

[–] BobQuasit@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Cool! Zelazny is one of my favorite authors. I assume you've read his Lord of Light?

[–] TheRtRevKaiser@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Incredibly, I have not. It's on my TBR list, I've just never gotten to it. Pretty bad for somebody moderating a Zelazny fan sub but it is what it is, lol

It's his magnum opus. Enjoyable as Amber is (and I wish he'd written more), Lord of Light is absolutely incredible. Although a lot of people get confused by the flashback that starts with Chapter 2 and lasts for more than half of the book.
