One of the reasons I like the Merlin series (as much as Corwin's) is this book....Knight of Shadows.

Merlin is a true sorcerer and has a lot of knowledge that Corwin never learned (had interest in?).
Or maybe the author is "learning" more about this world as well.

I always had an impression that Chaos people are better sorcerers (and Merlin is a shape-shifter to boot) while Amber people are better sword-fighters (one word: Benedict).

That is very true.

Here's the ...but...
;)

Dworkin had a conversation with Corwin in an earlier book that indicated that the red heads of the family (at least) had the ability to learn sorcery.

Now that you mentioned it, I seems to recall Delwin and Sand from Amber are sorcerers. I am not sure about their heir color. They only appear briefly in one of the last short Amber stories.

Oooh......I still have to read those. Generally, I don't care for short stories, but for Amber.....
:)

Now, if I can find the book....

Manna from Heaven has them all as well as last short sci-fi stories from The Master. Amazon is your friend.

I think this is what I paid for my copy; this is fairly rare book.

Okay....bought it!
I tried to find it in my second hand book store first....Bought ....Doorways in the Sand......

30 bucks ...waiting for my delivery.
:S

Doorways is good. Manna from Heaven worth $30 in my opinion. It will make you feel very sad for early death of Zelazny.
