Customer Reviews
Exciting!
This is a great and exciting book. Roger Zelazny writes in his great unique style with his incredible imagination. This is science fiction, not written because the public demanded more Amber, and not as a trite scifi for the masses, but rather written with elegance and art for those with the imagination to appreciate it and enjoy it. Each word is like a beautiful image to treasure, if unfortunately a bittersweet one, as it this was his last book. We have lost Roger Zelazny. We have only now his name and his legacy of incredible stories, of which this undoubtedly is one of lingering beauty.
Great!
This is a great book. Zelazny asks a lot of his readers though - intelligence and the ability to appreciate subtlety. But he gives back in return a great adventure and an exiting very unexpected experience in a very imaginative world.
A Pinnacle of Literary Talent
Roger Zelazny is the best, not just in science fiction but possibly amongst the best in modern literature. The twists and turns of the story are incredible. In this book, and amazingly in each book to follow, just when reality seems to settle down, he flips it upside down and changes it again, tying it into the past with a whole new perspective. Zelazny was a master of picking up the plot, the loose ends and moving onto an incredibly new original, but leaving us dangling with new loose ends to think about. Zelazny never resolves all the unanswered questions and that is part of the charm. Unfortunately, we are all lost, since he died before the series continued. It is such a loss not to see what he would have done next. Son of Merlin? Daughter of Merlin? Unfortunately we will never know, but he has left behind an unparalleled series that blends great prose, adventure, and surprisingly a very wry sense of humor.
