Publisher's Summary

The Courts of Chaos is the fifth 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.

In book five, 2012 Audie Award nominee Alessandro Juliani completes his reading of the Corwin Cycle, expertly narrating the first five novels of the series and bringing the world of Amber to life.

As the first cycle is brought to a close, Corwin finds his world dissolving around him when his father Oberon, disguised as Corwin's friend, steals the Jewel of Judgment so that he may defeat the evil Brand.

Corwin Noble Prince Principled Pragmatist

Loved this when I was a teenager in the 70’s as each volume was published. Satisfying to revisit Zelazny’s unique creation. First person narration appeals to me, Amber, Shadow and Chaos compose tantalising worlds of possibility and impossibility, the characters are authentic and credible whilst pursuing incredible lives. Prince Corwin and his path draw the reader on!

A lacklustre finish

The final book in one of the most originally conceived fantasy stories ever does not sustain the brilliance of the middle sections. Too much Freud, too rushed, too much philosophical rambling in place of action.

Nevertheless, if you've made it this far, you have no choice but to finish it and draw your own conclusions.
