Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The further adventures of the second generation of the Courts of Amber and Chaos continue as Merlin Corey, his brother Mandor, and his cousin and erstwhile rival Luke face down a mysterious sorcerer in the Keep of the Four Winds. The eighth in Zelazny's Amber novels marks a return to the complicated dynastic intrigues that characterized earlier titles and leaves room for further developments. Recommended where the series is popular. JC

4.0 out of 5 stars
Chaos is an apt title,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sign of Chaos (Amber Series) (Paperback)
This book, like many in series SF, can not be read independently of the rest in the series. Its main fault is that it is frequently chaotic and can be difficult to follow, especially if it has been awhile since you read the previous stories. The protagonist, Merlin, continues his sparring with Luke, Jasra,and the Mask, and his girlfriend, Julia is back in the story, unknown to Merlin at first. Merlin's brother, Jurt, also is involved, along with multiple other extended family members.Zelazny fans will like this, but the Amber premise is noticably tiring in this story.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Book Eight Brings More Questions and Not Many Answers...,
By
This review is from: Sign of Chaos (Amber Series) (Paperback)
This book held interesting turns! There are still many questions left unanswered, but slowly more and more pieces are fitting together as being solved. Another cliffhanger of an ending, and it is hard to believe that there are only two books left!
3.0 out of 5 stars
Not Free SF Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sign of Chaos (Amber Series) (Paperback)
Merlin is trapped in a crazy version of Wonderland, which is actually, of course, just a Shadow. Some complex sorcerous shenanigans by various members of his family, ensue, as well as contact with Fiona, and stunts similar to Brand's, in the first series.
