The Courts of Chaos by Roger Zelazny
4.0
The most poetic and beautiful book in the series.
There's a sequence in the middle where the protagonist chats with a sentient tree, argues with a bird of misfortune, and confronts a talking jackal professing love for the royal blood of Amber. There's allegorical power in the sequence that you hardly find in pulp fiction. Wonderful.
And it ends in a grand explosion that keeps the surprises coming. A highly recommended series.
