Sign of Chaos

The Chronicles of Amber #8

by Roger Zelazny

Following the cliffhanger ending of Blood of Amber, Merlin is stranded in surrealistic Alice in Wonderland-esque bar where the Mad Hatter serves cocktails. Managing to escape, Merlin meets new family members - one of whom is intent on killing him. As events escalates, Merlin finds himself surrounded by his worst enemies including his ex-girlfriend - back from the dead.

Merlin se cufundă într-o halucinație alături de Luke, fiecare putere folosită ori încercare de a găsi o logică pentru ce se întâmplă în jur dovedindu-se a fi o zbatere în nisipuri mișcătoare. Și ca tabloul să fie complet, o creatură malefică din Haos îi urmărește pe cei doi. Între timp, se bănuiește că unul din frații săi încearcă să îl asasineze. Însă cea mai surprinzătoare veste este legată de Julia, fosta sa iubită.

Reviews

[Judith Blaauw-Klaver]

Ik blijf dezelfde problemen houden. De plot houdt me aan het lezen, maar de karakters interesseren me niet. Ik kan ook maar een paar namen onthouden en dat is toch wel een teken aan de wand.
Dit is een van de weinige series die zo plot driven zijn en me enkel en alleen daardoor boeien.
