Énormément de clins d'oeil dans ce tome et la saga reprends du poil de la bête, les personnages s'approfondissent tandis que l'on en découvre de nouveaux, l'univers d'ambre continue à s'étendre et à devenir de plus en plus intéressant alors que la fin de la saga se rapproche...

Finished "Sign of Chaos" by Roger Zelazny. This one took us from the White Rabbit and other acid-induced sights to the Keep of the Four Worlds. Of all the books, this seems the least complete. Interesting things happened, yes, but mostly seemed to be transitioning the story to move forward.

At this point in the series I'm almost simply reading just to see what happens next without particularly enjoying the books. Luckily the books are short and make good filler between reading other more interesting books.

Classic Zelazny.
I just read the last five of this series in the last month : will update my review once i remember which one this is :)

Literally three entire years later: guess what I still don't know.
I can say, however, this is the one that starts with the "Alice in Wonderland" drug trip, which is worth reading even if you know nothing about this series.

A place-setting middle volume. Merlin is a little competent and powerful to be really cowed by anything and everything falls into place a little too easily at this point to be taken really seriously. Competent prose and fast-moving plots do make up for the complacency and cosiness of the setting. I prefer Amber to be a little more mysterious than the Disney-fied mediaeval fantasyland we get here. Which, to be fair, is a criticism I could lay at the feet of far too many other writers as well.

The ending of this one is a good one, but the journey there ... I found it rather flaccid and meandering, overall. Clearly Zelazny was organising the pieces into the positions he wanted them, but I felt like he was very much taking his time in doing so, with rather too many "this will probably be explained later" diversions that distracted from, rather than supporting, the main plot.
