nikolastoti 's review for:

Elric of Melniboné by Michael Moorcock

The most expensive of cheap fantasy, the cream of the baddest of crops, the pulpest of epics.

Michael Moorcock has incredible pacing, very imaginative worldbuilding and writes dialogue horribly. There is a lot of charm in this book and a lot to love. But while it portrays itself as character driven I found myself many times thinking that characters did things just to suit the plot.

Overall very fun, I will be reading more of this.
