Quite enjoyed this one! More than I did “Lord of Light”. Although this book is clearly not Zelazny’s deepest work, it is very readable and more compelling than I thought at first.
It’s a post-apocalyptic tale with and interstellar twist. It also features some mutated monsters and people and excellent fight scenes (something rare in sci-fi for some reason).
I quite enjoyed the pacing and there was indeed some subtext and some tong-in-cheek humour that I appreciated.
Overall, a nice little novel. It won’t stay with me that much but I had a good time reading it and some of Zelazny’s ideas are actually pretty neat.
