Our view
“Blood of Amber” is a compact, eventful seventh book of “The Chronicles of Amber”, continuing Merlin’s story. Roger Zelazny keeps a number of plots in motion at once. Some readers find it stronger than the previous volume but feel the threads multiply without a clear sense of where they lead. It is a book for readers already well into the series.
