About this listen

Prince of Chaos is the tenth and final installment of The Chronicles of Amber; an epic fantasy series written by six-time Hugo Award winning and three-time Nebula Award winning author, Roger Zelazny.

The ten books that make up the series are told in two story arcs: The Corwin Cycle and the Merlin Cycle.

Narrator Wil Wheaton, who won the 2012 Audie Award for his engaging performance of Fuzzy Nation, brings this classic series to a stunning close by giving voice to Merlin, Corwin’s son, in the final five books of the series.

Treacheries, trickeries, assassination attempts and bloody family intrigues have finally maneuvered Merlin, aka Merle Corey, into the Courts of Chaos. Thanks to a series of conventionally fatal "accidents" engineered by his mother Dara and uncle Mandor, Merlin third in line to occupy the throne.

Merlin's journey to the ultimate rule will not be easy, for dark enchantments still await him. There is murderous discord between Amber and Chaos to be silenced. And a captive royal father, long believed dead, must first be freed from a villain's magic before a beleaguered Prince can deem his triumph complete.

the whole Amber series is great. Make sure to start with the house of Amber series first and then Merlin's series.

Masterful conclusion of brilliant series.

Merlin solves his riddles, faces his demons and prevails over the forces of order, chaos and his scheming family.

A fitting end to the second series

Loved Wil’s performance. He did a great job with different character voices over his prior performances. I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook.

The ends of the tangled threads

This book has always felt a little rushed to me, since there was a lot of work to do answering the questions and resolving the story lines. I suspect Zelazny had a lot more that he wanted to say but was constrained by the length of the books. There are four or five fragments, written for fanzines (back before the Internet, remember? Actual paper?) by Zelazny that add fascinating details to the story beyond what is resolved here. Whatever, it is Zelazny, and therefore it is masterfully done. Wheaton gives a performance to be proud of in a very busy and complicated narrative.

Cunningly Devised Fable

The whole series is a nice stroll down memory lane. They were eagerly anticipated as they were written. Sometimes a bit too descriptive, but they're cunningly devised fables. Lots of room for expansion. Who's going to write the back story of the origins of Unicorn and Logrus? Does Merlin's future son go back in time to battle forces of Chaos to repair the issues with Dworkin's confused mind.

Good book, Amazing reader.

Good book, Great Reader. Will captured Merlin's voice! It sounded like I expected Merlin to sound. I could hear Merlin speaking! WELL DONE!

Great book, awful narration

I have been long time Zelazny fan and finally decided to listen to all amber books again, while introducing them to my wife. We loved narration for first five about as much as we were put off by extremely off narration by Will in chronicles of Merlin.
