Knight of Shadows/ The Chronicles of Amber, Book 9

Knight of Shadows is the ninth science fiction book in the Chronicles of Amber series by author Roger Zelazny.
This is an epic fantasy series written by the six-time Hugo Award winning author.
Narrator Wil Wheaton, who won an Audie Award in 2012 for his gripping performance of Fuzzy Nation, brings this classic series up close by voicing Merlin, Corwin’s son. , in the final five books of the series.

Melvin Corey must choose between allying with the Amber Model or the Chaos Model. The story of a sometimes murderous family of wizards and their alternate worlds.

Roger Zelazny’s Knight of Shadows is the ninth installment in the Chronicles of Amber series and the fourth in the Merlin (son of Corwin) tale. While someone is still trying to kill him, he is now focused on Julia after recognizing that she wasn’t killed back in volume six and appears to be his enemy. Merlin comes to understand that he is involved in a superpower struggle between the Pattern of Amber and the Logrus of Chaos. Hel also meets several ghosts including the voice of his father who attempts to reconciles generational inconsistencies from the Corwin cycle.

Zelazny is really stretching things out (although its volume is on the shorter side). With a family that regularly seems to practice double dealing and backstabbing, it’s a wonder why Merlin wants to have anything to do with Amber at all. Hopefully Merlin will receive some satisfaction, answers, and closure in the last volume.

The narration is acceptable, although the Friday night barroom banter is getting annoying. The short nature along with brisk pacing makes for a quick listen.
