Ik kon me nu wel wat beter inleven in de personen, hoewel nog niet zoveel als ik zou willen. Maar door de cliffhanger ben ik wel al meteen verder gegaan in boek 10. (

Magical AI has more to do in this volume and for me that's always a good thing. Onward to the the exciting conclusion. (

Zelazny delights in blindsiding his characters [and readers] with all sorts of father issues, family issues and friend issues. Turns out the Pattern and the Logrus are sentient powers and that Chaos and Amber may simply exist to give them place to battle. Merlin is in the position that Corwin was, in the first 5 books, ie, confused and with a bad case of a dad doing something that nobody else knows about. (

Physical manifestations of the Pattern and Logrus. The sentience of ideas. Political intrigue. Lovers' quarrels. Mother/son issues. Oh, my! (
