Sign of Chaos by Roger Zelazny
3.0
I would probably rate this a 3.5 if I could. For the first half, I wasn’t really into this one for some reason. It was back to Merle summarizing what’s been happening the last two books to everyone he meets, which seems like he has to do almost constantly. And though the idea of LSD causing them to trip unintentionally into crazy shadows is a great one, the scene felt like it went on forever (which is kind of comparative to an actual LSD trip I guess ha). But things picked up once Luke came down from the LSD trip, and it ended on a high note.
Zelazny seems to like describing the walks and travels through shadow, and stretches these out a little farther than necessary. He does the same thing with Merle’s inner monologues sometimes too, though that serves more purpose to explain the story and the character. But I think his strength is in his dialogue. I find myself looking forward to a page of conversation, and dreading one filled with long paragraphs of details. Nonetheless, I still feel that pull to get to the next page.
