A review by scottjp
The Citadel of Forgotten Myths by Michael Moorcock

2.0

I felt the same way reading this as I did reading Clive Barker's [b:The Scarlet Gospels|23014674|The Scarlet Gospels|Clive Barker|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1426127782l/23014674._SY75_.jpg|984888]: that the author started the book off and then handed it to a ghost writer to finish because he was sick of his own characters. Maybe I am wrong in both cases, but it sure reads that way. The first two stories in this book are pretty good, and the third, longer story starts out okay but eventually turns into a a rambling, repetitive, incoherent mess that (as with Gospels) I had to skim. Was Mike pressured into writing a new Elric story to promote the new omnibus collections? I wish I'd passed on this one as it left a bad taste.
