[Krystian Galaj]

I loved Roger Zelazny's Amber books from the time I first read them, and reread them many times since, both in my native language and in english. The author starts the action in our reality, world as we know it, and then strange, impossible things start to happen.

The whole series is (besides it being mostly sword & sorcery tale) a tale of uncovering of the rules governing the world, about dimensions, Shadows, workings of Trumps. The author sometimes contradicts himself - the books were written over may years - but mostly stays consistent. In our world the rules are physics, and many science fiction books are tales of discovering that the rules we know are a bit different than we expected, and of the consequences of it. When reading a mystery novel, the book is discovery of facts initially hidden from the reader, seeming different from what they really are. That's why I read many mysteries as well.

I'm looking for more fantasy, or science fiction books that are such tales, that gradually reveal more and more information about the workings of the world and so make the initially strange events of first chapters/volumes plain, simple and understandable.

Could you recommend me some?

Edit: after posting this I realized there's a similar genre of books revealing workings of some culture, structure of society, rules of behaviour in it. Those books tend to be very hard reads to me, so I try to avoid them, and read for fun. I guess I'm technically minded.
