The Runestaff by Michael Moorcock

4.0

3.5/5. A fun adventure as always for Moorcock's Eternal Champion stories, and a mostly satisfying conclusion to Hawkmoon's first quartet. Some parts felt a bit rushed, and as in the previous book, I felt Oladahn was underused. Still, I've greatly enjoyed reading the Eternal Champion, and feel like the connections and mysteries that only unfold across multiple incarnations' stories make for a reading experience greater than the sum of its parts. After reading Hawkmoon, Elric, Corum, and Erekosë, I'm really looking forward reading the culmination in the Castle Brass trilogy.
