About this listen

Blood of Amber is the seventh book of The Chronicles of Amber; an epic fantasy series written by six-time Hugo Award winning and three-time Nebula Award winning author, Roger Zelazny.

The ten books that make up the series are told in two story arcs: The Corwin Cycle and the Merlin Cycle.

Narrator Wil Wheaton, who won the 2012 Audie Award for his engaging performance of Fuzzy Nation, brings this classic series to a stunning close by giving voice to Merlin, Corwin’s son, in the final five books of the series.

Pursued by a fiendish enemy, Merle must battle through an intricate web of vengeance and murder that threatens more than the San Francisco Bay area. For Merle Corey of California is also Merlin, son of Corwin, vanished Prince of Amber; and the forces, seeking to destroy the royal house, have unleashed sorceries that can strike anywhere, especially at the very heart of Amber.

There was lots of setup, much like in 'Guns of Avalon,' however the story moved forward at much better pace. It does get rather confusing at times, even if you have read the previous six.

Wil Wheaton does a great job, but it sounds like some of his lines were recorded over the phone and that gets really distracting and brought me out of the moment a few times. His voices for characters fit well, but it's annoying that he hasn't adopted voices for characters in the previous book like Random and Luke, who do a lot of talking. After a while it's hard to tell who's talking because there is no 'he said,' 'she said,' tags. Still a great performance though.

Good book. Hope it gets better.
