'Sometimes it's damned hard to tell the dancer from the dance.' - Roger Zelazny, Coruts of Chaos So, this isn't the bottom of the first five books in the 'Chronicles of Amber'.


Alessandro’s fast reading style added to the pace and excitement of the story very nicely. The first person voice suited Corwin’s character perfectly and the other characters all had distinctive and suitably acted voices too. Performance – 5/5 These are an extremely well narrated series of books, and you can tell a lot of effort has gone into it to create the best experience for the listener. You will probably make your own decision on it, but if you are on the fence like I was, give the first one a try – you can always return it if you didn’t feel it was worth it. The stories may seem very short, and therefore not worth the credits, but I personally found them worth it. It was enough of an ending for me not to rush into the latter 5 books in the series (which are based on Corwin’s son Merlin), but I will definitely be returning to complete the series very soon. This book is action packed, fast paced and full of brilliant conclusions to the overall story arc of saving Amber. A very imaginative, complex and absorbing world was created here, and is not like anything I have come across before.

Story – 5/5 A great ending to the Corwin cycle of books.
