pick(1976) Not so much a novel as a collection of three novelettes featuring Moorcock's moody Melnibonéan monarch, Elric. Mostly, Elric comes off here more as action star than broody antihero, though some of the latter appears in the third section. It doesn't always feel like an Elric story, but the setting, situation, and atmosphere are always compelling, and at barely 160 pages there's no opportunity for the pace to stumble.
pickThe tone for Book II was very different than Book I. Elric is less melancholy, less introspective, more adventurous. It stands well on it's own if you hadn't read book one, but it helps to have some knowledge of Moorcock's multiverse when Elric encounters other incarnations of the Champion Eternal ( Hawkmoon, Corum and Erekosë). 4 💥💥💥💥 out of 5. On to Book III - The Weird of the White Wolf.
Another #RainbowStack: this one a mixture of read and to be read books by Michael Moorcock. #ReadingResolutions
