neglet's review against another edition
Re-reading an old favorite for the first time in a decade... And it hasn’t aged well for me. This conclusion doesn’t have a whole lot of plot—just more hell rides (which I end up skimming at this point, the novelty is gone) and a couple of big battles. Corwin seems to have learned some lessons, but I don’t feel like he’s really changed or grown. Aside from now he doesn’t want the throne—not an earth-shaking emotional insight.
I love this world and the basic plot concept, but on a re-read it falls short for me, especially when it comes to character development.

Another thoroughly enjoyable read. I enjoyed the ending though it still leaves a number of questions hanging in the air.

This series was OK. Don't really know what all the hype was about.

This book concludes the original Amber storyline with the showdown at the Courts of Chaos. I have really enjoyed this series. I love Zelazny’s writing style - each of this books is short, but packed with adventure. He keeps the story focused, without any fluff. I also love the way he weaves in various mythologies and Arthurian legend. These are terrific class fantasy novels.

This book ended the story arc well, so giving this entry an extra star for the whole being greater than the sum of its parts
