With the exception of the first book, the Amber series is the weakest of Zelazny's writing. Go dig up copies of 'This Immortal', 'Lord of Light', 'Creatures of Light and Darkness' and 'Jack of Shadows,' and settle in for some fine reading. I'd recommend more Zelazny, but this note would get much too long. *Any* Zelazny short story collection is better than 99% of the stuff you find on the SF/Fantasy shelf, I believe 'Last Defender of Camelot' is still in print.
