Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Lured by his own good intentions into a soundless netherworld which diminishes his innate magic, Merlin confronts his dual heritage as a pawn in the rivalry between the Courts of Amber and Chaos in the ninth volume of the author's popular Amber series. Combining political intrigue, swashbuckling adventure, magical duels, and modern technology, Zelazny's latest novel, though dependent on its predecessors, will appeal to series fans. Recommended. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 6/15/89.

Flair, fantasy, humor
26. Oktober 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
Bias alert. I should start this review by saying that I am not sure that Zelazny could write a bad book. Non-Zelazny fans may disagree.
Merlin is very clearly the son of Corwin. He is irreverent about the holy ghosts of Amber and Chaos. He hits his head against the rules (and sometimes even wins). Despite an overly-long sequence in a strange testing ground between shadows, Zelzany still infuses this book with the manic strangeness and humor that are part of what make him such a wonderful writer. As noted, virtually none of the Amber novels can be read stand-alone or out of sequence. You are going to have to read the books before this one to get the background. And you are going to have to read the ones after this to get an explanation. An enjoyable task, luckily.

Fun, but marks time quite a bit

"Knight of Shadows" is Merlin's Vision Quest, similar to Corwin's allegorical journey in the last book of the Amber series. Although I still like the two books, Zelazny's normal fascinating stories slow down considerably when he decides to go this route. Merlin becomes trapped in a symbolic battle between the Pattern and the Logrus, and for most of the book we have no idea where Merlin's encounter with a land between shadows relates to the three plus books leading up to here.
On the good side, things liven up quite a bit towards the end of Merlin's trials here. The magic and Merlin's pluckiness get fun again.
Zelazny introduces a new type of character into the series in "Knight of Shadows". They become surprisingly interesting and sympathetic figures in the story, and I thought they were a very imaginative idea. I won't give more details about them, because that would spoil the fun. :-)
As in all the Amber books, the volume cannot stand on its own. It is in essence the fourth 20% of one very long book, since Merlin's story starts on page one of book one and doesn't slow down until the last page of book five ... if you can even consider that to be the end. LOL
I consider both five book series to be highly original and imaginative sets of fiction, and have always applauded Roger Zelazny for the hours of entertainment he thereby provided me.
Highly recommended.

Another Fun Trip into Amber

A lot happened in this installment - so much so that it is hard to believe that the next book will wrap everything up! I was quite glad that some missing characters appeared, and I am starting to like Mandor more and more. I am also very curious as to the resolution in this next book...
