Elrics ability to just find some dudes to hang with remains unmatched

Not much character and plot depth to look forward to when you cover 3 loosely linked short stories in an already relatively short book.

If you enjoyed the first Elric then expect more of the same. Great sequel that makes readers want to continue Elrics story.

This one was very odd - but I enjoyed it. It was more metaphysical/philosophical than the previous entries, but with a giant side of DnD campaign goodness. This series still isn't my favourite, but I'm enjoying my time with it.

Multiverse + Joseph Campbell taken too literally?

A fun and light collection of short stories thinly connected, this book ready like an enjoyable arc from a genre magazine. Moorcok's prose isn't revelatory but it is fun to read, oozing with pulpy quirks and vivid imagery. Each adventure is just enough to sink your teeth into and leave you wanting more. I'm truth that's the largest issue with this book. No single story leaves you wholly satisfied as all have plot holes, contrivances, and loose threads. The meta narrative is advanced relatively little and Eric's chacter development is minimal. Fun but unsatisfying, the epitome of junk food reading and I adore it.
