The Courts of Chaos

This was a rousing conclusion to the Corwin Cycle of the Chronicles of Amber. It had action, adventure, magical beings, and a dramatic ultimate scene. The prose was a little more flowery, but still pretty tight. All the characters were well established and acted in keeping with who they are. My only complaint was that the pacing was a little uneven in the middle. There's a long set of scenes where Corwin has to journey from Amber to the Courts of Chaos. He meets many magical beings, but in between these scenes, the descriptions of the lands Corwin was going through as well as his state of being got a little dry. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this book and found the ending to be quite exhilarating.
