The Courts of Chaos

The Chronicles of Amber, Book 5

By: Roger Zelazny

Narrated by: Alessandro Juliani

The Courts of Chaos is the fifth book 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.

In book five, 2012 Audie Award nominee Alessandro Juliani completes his reading of the Corwin Cycle, expertly narrating the first five novels of the series and bringing the world of Amber to life.

As the first cycle is brought to a close, Corwin finds his world dissolving around him when his father Oberon, disguised as Corwin's friend, steals the Jewel of Judgment so that he may defeat the evil Brand.

The Satisfying Conclusion

Don't start here! Go back and read the first book, Nine Princes in Amber. This is not the kind of series you can start in the middle. All the books are short reads though! So they go down like delicious, addictive popcorn. I still don't like the narrator for these. (See my review of Nine Princes.)

The balance of Chaos and Order (Amber) is at risk as Oberon attempts to repair the pattern and Corwin rides to the Courts of Chaos to aid in the final battle. Along the way, though he is caught up in a reality storm. What will he do to keep Chaos from refashioning all of the shadow realms and reality itself?

AMBER

The first five books have withstood the test of time.
The saga of Amber reads/listens just as well as it did in the '70s when I first read them. This series is worth the time.

Over Priced.

Great series. Pick up all 10 for 20$ total. But on audible they are 10$ a book… Way over priced, they are only 5-6 hours long each. So a 20$ paper back that contains all 10 books are about 100$ on here. Book 5 stars, audible pricing 0 stars

Excellent as always

A long time favourite series read many times, book narration was excellent bringing book to life

simply amazing.

great series. The way everything comes together is beautiful.

The best narrator of all time. His work blew my mind along with the story and really it come alive for me
