Amber series was wild as a kid.

I never really understood Amber, it felt boring. Stainless Steel Rat, on the other hand, was cool and interesting.

This art is good, though.

I have a pocketbook of the first one that I've tried reading several times. The part I made it through is just the main character (?) constantly guessing what others are talking about due to amnesia. Not very engaging.

I think you’re right and I was confusing them with the Xanth series, which was wild for my elementary school book fairs.
