LikedWhile not without its flaws, Roadmarks is an enjoyable if slightly self-indulgent read.

Roadmarks (1979)
Creators: Liked The Road runs from the unimaginable past to the far future, and those who travel it have access to the turnoffs leading to all times and places--even to the alternate time-streams of histories that never happened. Why the Dragons of Bel'kwinith made the Road--or who they are--no one knows. But the Road has always been there and for those who know how to find it, it always will be!

Mixedthis book was really cool but i will be fully honest that when i was reading it i thought that the book was really smart but it felt too smart for me
LikedBut where the mystery of the road is concerned, the book tantalizes you with a light touch that only enhances your curiosity. Zelazny knew that to reveal too much could mean robbing your tale of that sense of wonder, that aura of magic.

Jenn LyonsKihrin is a bastard orphan who grew up on storybook tales of long-lost princes and grand quests. When he is claimed against his will as the long-lost son of a treasonous prince, Kihrin finds that being a long-lost prince isn't what the storybooks promised.
Far from living the dream, Kihrin finds himself practically a prisoner, at the mercy of his new family's power plays and ambitions. He also discovers that the storybooks have lied about a lot of other things too: dragons, demons, gods, prophecies, true love, and how the hero always wins.
Then again, maybe he's not the hero, for Kihrin is not destined to save the empire.
