I love that book (and most of the rest of Zelazny's). I haven't re-read it for many, many years, though. It feels like a more complete, better thought-out version of his Creatures of Light and Darkness.

When I read the book, I love it for its stylishness, the unabashed pleasure Zelazny took in the pure writing. After I put it down, the plot (which kind of pieces itself together from a rather incoherent whole) intrigues me, but I'm not a real plot-driven reader (I like Dorothy Sayers but not Agatha Christie).

Creatures of L & D is much sillier, but has the same sense of style, of words being used for the love of words, that L of L does. It's pure fun, and if you liked Lords you should read Creatures.

But don't pay too much attention to its plot.
