Reply to comment by twbrn in Stephen Colbert to Produce Series Adaptation Of Roger Zelanzny’s Sci-Fi Novels ‘The Chronicles Of Amber’ by Neo2199
Hmm, I really don't read things that way. Dune has a density of information issue to it that Amber just does not have. Zelazny provides us with a framework for learning the world. And the concepts of a royal family, political backbiting, grand castles, etc. don't really need that much explanation.
Royal power struggle. One true world. Shadow-walking. Trump cards.
Okay, got it. Done and done.
Then you introduce the individual elements within that framework as they arise.
Yeah, I really think a good writer can easily structure this to bring the audience in, in a compelling way.
The writing has to be good, though.
We will see! (Hopefully.)
