A review by ianbanks
Sign of Chaos by Roger Zelazny

3.0

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.
