    Corwin heads forward in what looks like a modern retelling of the ring of the Nibelung. The elements of poetic imagery and winding down into unavoidable disaster. Great story telling.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An attempt to out manouvre the other Princes of Amber by bringing in re-inforcements from another world

    The struggle to be crowned king of Amber, or at least to avoid being killed by the other Princes of Amber, continues.
    The mysterious ability of the Princes and Princesses of Amber to travel between worlds is explained further.
    A thought provoking, almost poetic short novel.

    5.0 out of 5 stars "I will bring me up guns out of Avalon..." A classic fantasy novel that you must read
    Reviewed in the United States on 29 September 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I am overjoyed at the publishing of 'The Chronicles of Amber' on Kindle. What is more satisfying than experiencing a long desired event?

    Still, as with all Kindle conversions, it is wise to approach with some trepidation. Typos happen, and by that I mean massive numbers of them. What is worse, I have read Kindle conversions that are missing sections of stories or are so muddled as to be unintelligible.

    Thankfully, that is not the case here. I have read this new edition and I found only three typos. These were reported to the publisher and have now (31OCT15) been corrected. This is an outstanding Kindle conversion. The publisher also continued work on book 1 'Nine Princes in Amber' to fix typos there; this is a publisher worth supporting.

    One more thing I love about the Kindle edition is the cover art by Gary McCluskey; the dichotomy of Corwin in plate with battle rifle (BAR?) on shoulder is wonderful. And hey, is that the Valley of Garnath and the Black Road in the background? Also, note the silver rose on the left breast. This image captures Corwin and a number of key images for me. Well done.

    As far as the story, this is Grade A+ material.
    We pick up with Corwin immediately after the events of 'Nine Princes in Amber'. Nine Princes in Amber: Book One (The Chronicles of Amber 1)
    He is still recovering from his ordeal, but he has the beginnings of a plan. His flight through Shadow finds him in a land called Lorraine where he meets familiar faces from the past and recuperates physically.
    After dealing with some seemingly local troubles in spectacular fashion, Corwin journeys onward to a shadow of the fallen land of Avalon (a shadow of a shadow, ya could go nuts thinking too hard on this stuff). In Avalon he finds a brother, which for an Amberite is synonymous with trouble.

    So much for summaries. Suffice to say, Corwin is not done with his quest for the throne of Amber. He builds his plan and his forces more carefully this time, and the results... Well, that would be telling. Along the way he encounters troubling clues to a dark, and rather personal, mystery that seems to encompass the fate of Amber itself. More on that front in books 3 - 5; hint, hint.

    This novel has some of my favorite bits from the entire series: meeting Benedict, the hellride and passage across the Black Road, a sweltering day of diamond mining, Corwin's old 'friend' Ganelon, and (of course) Dara.
    Here Roger Zelazny is the master craftsman, and 'The Guns of Avalon' finds him at the peak of his skill. There are hints and red herrings "scattered as casually as bird droppings across the sand", all you need is a rake and a sieve. The plot is engaging, the writing is tight, and the dialog is sharp enough to cut you if you are careless.

    This is a classic fantasy tale that bends the genre in all the right ways. It needs to be in your library.

    Buy it, read it, cherish it. Stuff this good is rare as 5 carat diamonds.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great 2nd Book in the Series
    Reviewed in the United States on 24 November 2017
    Verified Purchase
    As with all the other books in this series, Roger Zelazny's "The Guns of Avalon: Book Two (The Chronicles of Amber 2)" is not stand-alone. They flow one to the next without pause or summary. So, they really can't be reviewed individually. But, I'll note that, again, Zelazny's got a wonderful universe, prose, and characters here. Probably the biggest issue with this particular book is the one hell-ride he describes for pages on end. Since I've read these books half a dozen times or so over the decades, I just skip right over that. Otherwise, I love it. So, I'm rating the book at a Very Good 4 stars out of 5.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Second Chronicle of Amber
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 January 2016
    Verified Purchase
    This is the second volume in a fantasy series by Roger Zelazny. The Chronicles of Amber stretch over a total of ten books, which were published throughout the 1970s and 1980s. I have previously reviewed the first book in the series when it became available in a Kindle edition. During the decades of the series’ publication, fantasy literature seemed to be dominated by two paradigms: Tolkienesque epic fantasy; and Howardesque sword and sorcery. Zelazny’s Amber novels were different. Set in an original fantastic universe, they see him play with various fantasy archetypes and tropes, while juxtaposing them with modern technology; and written in an almost hardboiled thriller style

    This book takes up the story immediately from where the first book in the series ended. In that book Corwin, the narrator and protagonist, recovered his memory and identity as a Prince of Amber. Amber, the true world, is a sort of archetypal medieval or renaissance sword-and-sorcery world; and there are a host of “Shadow” worlds, with various aspects of the true world. These include contemporary Earth, where the amnesiac Corwin has been living for a long period. Having escaped the consequences of an unsuccessful attempt to take the throne of Amber from his hated brother Eric, this book follows Corwin as he implements a plan to take revenge and take Amber. In that world gunpowder is inert so firearms are useless. However Corwin has discovered that in the shadow world of Avalon, another medieval sword-and-sorcery world, there is a substance that will function as gunpowder in Amber; and this is the basis of his plan. What follows is fast-paced adventure across worlds and the emergence of a demoniac threat to the shadow worlds and Amber itself.

    The book has many of the characteristics of its predecessor. First it is much shorter than most modern fantasy. However it is fast paced, though perhaps not quite as hectically so as the first book (and allowing Corwin some more reflective moments); and the style is quite spare. Therefore much happens in a relatively small space. Some readers may even find the quality a refreshing change from bloated contemporary fantasy novels. The style itself will strike many readers used to other fantasy literature as unusual. Besides the thriller-paced writing, with witty, hardboiled-type dialogue, Zelazny mixes in some bits of archaic language and vocabulary, which is quite jarring but also gives a texture which is appropriate to his strange world setting. One of the more negative features in contrast to much contemporary fantasy of the first book is that the female characters are very secondary and passive. The current book has two more central female characters, one who looks to be likely to be an important antagonist later in the series. Nevertheless, the treatment of neither character in the novel can be described as positive. Overall I found the novel to be, like the first novel in the series, original, intriguing and a page turner. I certainly intend to continue reading the series.
