Sigh. I haven't read that one, but Zelazny's so hit or miss. His good stuff is so amazing I'm willing to bear the awful, awful misogyny. I regularly read This Immortal and it's kind of unbearable on that vector: it has hot, evil vaginas with legs and hot, awesome, personality-less vaginas with legs, and sometimes doomed-to-messy-death vaginas with legs. But that means his entire range from mediocre (most of the second Amber series) to terrible (the rest of the second Amber series) is kind of unreadable. Only the great stuff is readable enough to see the great.
