Zelazny delights in blindsiding his characters [and readers] with all sorts of father issues, family issues and friend issues. Turns out the Pattern and the Logrus are sentient powers and that Chaos and Amber may simply exist to give them place to battle.

Physical manifestations of the Pattern and Logrus. The sentience of ideas. Political intrigue. Lovers' quarrels. Mother/son issues. Oh, my! ( )
