Insightful stuff, Omie! I also like Amber (and found I would flick forward through the books to her parts, no matter if it was a first, ninth or twentieth reading!) though I guess I just throw her in as 'Fool'?

Their friendship is just a thing of beauty and bizarreness. That, too, I prefer in Amber - that you see a side of that character that can have a completely no-strings-attached friendship with another being just for the sake of being friends.
Yes!
