The most perfect ending to the most perfect fantasy saga of all times. Being a bit melodramatic, am I? I reread all the books in the Corwin series, but none as often as The Court of Chaos. I lost count of how many times I have reread this one. Not only did it explain and connected everything nicely, the final novel in the series also manages to be the most beautifully written one. The Court of Chaos have the most poetical passages, I feel. They capture the spirit and the charm of this series[3.5*]I can't say that the ending of this beloved saga is disappointing but after the previous perfect installment this one feels a bit of a letdown. It contains two of my least favorite things - travel through Shadow and a battle - and they occupy significantly more time than I think they should. Not much happens and whatever happens is not in any way unexpected. Plus I was hit by a major reading slump right in the midst of it and I can't be entirely sure that my waning interest for this novel
This is the last book of Corwin saga. It has everything you would expect from a conclusion of an epic. Final confrontations, mad villains, good people dying heroic deaths - with Amber itself at the stake.Basically this is the whole plot: the (still) sane members of royal Amber family desperately try to save their worlds from a total annihilation. All because somebody decided the current state of affairs is so bad it is better to wipe everything off and start from the scratch. Corwin himself
Now this is how you conclude a series. The Courts of Chaos is an interesting book on so many levels. There is a shift in tone from The Hand of Oberon, which is a trick Zelazny employed earlier in the series, but once again I appreciated that immensely. It makes a lot of narrative sense, as The Courts of Chaos are in many ways the foil to Nine Princes in Amber.The events in the series have proven to be a vehicle of transformation for Corwin's character. In the first book, we followed a man who
Siblings are at each other's throats, as they try to discover the true culprit in all of the deceptions and plotting. Meanwhile, a force is moving upon Amber, threatening their very existence. Dun dun dunnnnnThe Courts of Chaos was a fast paced, but information dense novel that very neatly and satisfactorally wrapped up the first half of the Chronicles of Amber. I blasted through these novels, and loved every minute of them - I loved the shorter novels, the breakneck pace they brought, the
I really love the Amber series and this was a satisfactory conclusion in that it gave someone the throne, killed off some people, had battles, and had a lot of resolution. That said, not that strong of book. The traveling through shadow bits are written in such a pointless boring way. I'm still glad I read this series and thankfully this one is quite short, so skim away if needed.
