Knight of Shadows is the ninth 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.

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.

Melvin Corey must choose between an alliance with the Pattern of Amber or the Pattern of Chaos, in a tale of a sometimes murderous family of wizards and their alternate worlds.

The voices for the Pattern and Logrus are horrible. Please rerecord the Merlin Cycle with someone who has actual talent.

Bad reader, worse voices

What made the experience of listening to Knight of Shadows the most enjoyable?

I have a dilema. Does one rush through each book to find out how it all ends or does one slow down & saviour the experience? I will be so sad to listen to the last book - I am saving it for a rainy day

What did you like best about this story?

The bringing together of various 'loose' ends & a couple of twists in the tale - Luke getting married for one!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Wil Weaton started on his first of the chronicles i was a bit disapointed because I loved Alessandro so much but I have grown to love Will's reading too & he has brought an element of humour to the reading

Amber Chronicles getting better with each book!

Couldn't wait to hear this story! Merlin had a wild adventure and takes out part of Amber Castle... Although, it's not really his fault.

outstanding!

Wheaton had me flat out laughing out loud this time around, this was a terrible rendition. You are better off just reading the books and skipping his narration. I hope they re-record this one day.

Great story, terrible narrator

I’m glad Brand’s son is not a mad bad dude. Right?
I do think the book was too short and ended too abruptly. It was surprisingly good though.
