Wars of light and shadow on goodreads' beyond reality

[Clansman]

For the loyal fans of this most excellent of series, I would note that the Beyond Reality group at Goodreads is voting on whether or not to discuss The Wars of Light and Shadow, or Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber. A tough choice, to be sure, but...

If inclined to vote, and to actually follow up with the discussion, why not head to this link and cast a ballot:

SERIES DISCUSSION: This run-off poll determines which series will be the subject of our second official Beyond Reality Series Discussion!

It is a great place, like this one, to discuss books, and quite a wide selection of points of view, too. You could also join the Chronians' group on Goodreads.

Well, The Wars of Light and Shadow won the vote, and the discussion starts on July 15, with the first three chapter sets* of Curse of the Mistwraith. The plan is to do three chapter sets a week, thus a book every two months or so, preparatory to Initiate's Trial coming out.

Here's a link:

Beyond Reality - Introduction - is this series for you? (showing 1-5 of 5)

Also, there are two other discussions on the series at Goodreads, one of the series (not as in-depth as the Beyond Reality discussion), at Fantasy Book Club Series, and one on Ships of Merior at Fantasy Book Club. Here are the respective links:

Fantasy Book Club Series - Is this your first read through? Or a re-read? (showing 1-7 of 7)

Fantasy Book Club - NON SPOILERS - general impressions (showing 1-4 of 4)

The great thing about these discussions is that Janny Wurts herself is moderating them, similar to what other authors like Neil Gaiman have done on Goodreads. A real treat, to be sure! Not often you get that kind of discussion with the creator.
