gon8go 's review for:
Elric of Melniboné
by Michael Moorcock
I have been meaning to try reading some fantasy but I was put off by all the long series of thick books.
I became aware of this because of the plagiarism lawsuit against the Witcher books, saw that it was under 200 pages and gave it a try.
First off it’s so cheesy it belongs in a fondue and the cover belongs on the side of a 1970’s van, that said I really enjoyed it. Elric is a flawed, brooding scholar and reluctant antihero not the typical mindless brute of the sword and sorcery genre. There’s is absolutely no fat on this tale though it covers a lot of ground . Elric makes deals with gods and demons to rescue his love from the clutches of his jerk of a usurping cousin and go dungeon questing for the legendary black sword stormbringer.
Good times, I’ll read the next one!
