A review by sisteray
The Weird of the White Wolf by Michael Moorcock
4.0
Further acid drenched adventures from Moorcock’s sad-sack version of Conan, Elric. Moorcock doesn’t mess around with his Elric stuff. That’s not to say that he doesn’t take some time to describe things (which he paints well), it’s that he’s a no-nonsense writer who won’t waste pages exploring plot through dialogue.
Were it not for the florid touches to give you a sense of place, these books would be entirely utilitarian, and I am here for that. He just gets straight to the meat.
This is something of a collection of shorts that link together. Maybe the first, that doesn’t even have Elric stands out farther from the pack.
Ultimately this book ties up the loose ends of the first two books and sets up a new status quo for Elric.
