Summary
Nine Princes in Amber is the first of the 10 books that are 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.
The Audible audio rendition of this classic sci-fi/fantasy series is kicked off by 2012 Audie Award nominee, Alessandro Juliani, who reads the first five books that make up the Corwin Cycle and whose narration vividly brings the world of Amber to life.
Amber is the one real world, of which all others including our own Earth are but Shadows. Amber burns in Corwin's blood. Exiled on Shadow Earth for centuries, the prince is about to return to Amber to make a mad and desperate rush upon the throne.
From Arden to the Pattern deep in Castle Amber which defines the very structure of Reality, Corwin must contend with the powers of his eight immortal brothers, all Princes of Amber. His savage path is blocked and guarded by eerie structures beyond imagining impossible realities forged by demonic assassins and staggering Forces that challenge the might of Corwin's superhuman fury.

Very well narrated with sound effects!
This book is a classic that is exceptional. thr narration is wonderful as well, due to the sound effects, character portrayals, and the vocal range across which it is told.

An immensely intriguing story
I found this story absolutely fascinating and can't wait to hear more of it. The reader, similarly, gave a great performance and I'll definitely be seeking him out for future listening.

Good start then ok...
Enjoyable enough. mixture of well established tropes (guy wakes with no memory after accident, has to rediscover who he is) and some less usual plots (no spoilers here). Enjoyed listening to it but very undecided whether that's enough to warrant another 9 (albeit shortish) books.

A masterwork? I didn't think so.
I wanted to love this, so many people rave about Zelazny but I couldn't honestly appreciate why from this book. I'm aware it's the first or many but there should be some satisfaction to the listener/reader without having to invest in the entire series.
Zelazny throws you headfirst into a world that he obviously knows intimately, but which is never explained, it felt disjointed and confusing to the point where the attempted world building just passed me clean on by. Further to this the narration style is grating, with the narrator injecting flippant intonation seemingly at will, I found it broke the immersion and distracted from what the author was actually trying to convey.
I'm a hundred books down on audible, but this is the first one I have ever returned.

This is a cool and unique story, perhaps feels a tad rushed, but there is a lot going on

Rich characters and background.
Any additional comments?
I have read and listened to the Nine Princes of Amber several times over the years and still enjoy it as much today as when I first read it.

Very Descriptive
Many descriptions but well worded and engaging. The narrator has a soothing voice and the characters' distinct voices suited them.
