These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: Book Of Amber
Magnificent Bastard - Oberon, and several of his children try to match him in this. To the point where Corwin deduces Oberon's presence simply because no one else could pull of a Gambit Roulette that well.
Recycled Premise - The first series starts with Corwin missing, presumed dead, and he is later imprisoned and blinded. Also, Caine is killed. In the second series, Corwin is missing and presumed dead, Caine is killed off again, and Corwin is later discovered to have been imprisoned and deprived of sight.
