Changeling

ChangelingChangeling by Roger Zelazny

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This one took me longer to read than I planned to, mostly only to time constraints with my Bookclub. However, it still took me a few chapters to get the feel of the story and try to understand what was going on in addition to the main characters.

I was glad that the "main" character was the one that grew up in our reality. The mixture of Fantasy and Science Fiction into one book was really well done, especially by still keeping it grounded in reality.

I love that the weapon and important instrument of the story was the guitar, in that it wasn't used as a specific weapon, but by it's natural purpose being it's strengths. Was also happy that the dragons and creatures were so much a part of the world not just as animals. But other cultures. That includes the dragons.

Only thing I didn't like was the abruptness of the ending. I guess that it's part of a series but as someone who has read other series books, I tend to enjoy them better when they each have their own ending and an epilogue.

In conclusion, don't mess with the guitar.
