5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, May 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Blood of Amber (Hardcover)

You asked for a great book and you got it! It's this one. (And the whole 10 books of the series). This book features Merlin, Lord of Chaos, and magician, who also happens to have a computer science degree from Berkeley. In this book, Merle is in the woods sleeping when he hears a threatening voice of an otherworldly creature that has appeared in the darkness that says "I am the enemy - the one you thought you would never come". Then there is a flashback while Merle remembers and philosophizes about several events in his life revolving around power. He then answers the voice in the woods, saying "It's about time". This is very Zelaznian humor which is one of the great features of these books. In addition, there is lots of great adventure. Zelazny really can write. His is an evolved writing form, far beyond his contemporaries.

Not much body to this review, but I just thought I'd say that the Amber series is one of my favourites, and I really like this book in particular. Scrof, the Dweller on the Threshold, is hilarious!

This review is from: Blood of Amber (Chronicles of Amber: The Merlin Cycle, Book II) (Mass Market Paperback)

This one was quite interesting, though the ending was a bit convoluted. Still, I am interested in these new/old problems rising against the House of Amber. Merlin is a good character, though I do prefer Corwin (will we ever find out what happened to him?!).
