Another Elric book with its ups and downs. Though by now I have come to understand Elric and that he truly is an anti-hero and not one who is just given that title.
If Stormbringer had not the reputation it had, I would have stopped already but let’s see hopefully it will all pay off.

However, I might still decide to read some of Moorcock’s other novels pertaining to other forms of the Eternal Champion as their cameo here has once again raised my interest in them.

Loved the Beggar King and Burning God story. Such a great storyline.

Love the Sword and Sorcery pulp feeling to everything and the eternal fight between Law and Chaos and the multiverse that is connected with the Eternal Champion.

Michael Moorcock is quickly becoming my favorite author with his writing style, tone and imagination.

Elric forever!
