Elric of Melniboné by Michael Moorcock
2.0
This book was forgettable at best. Elric is meant to be complex, philosophical, and morally grey, but he was just dull, flat, and boring. He seemed like a twelve-year-old’s idea of a cool badass hero. Yyrkoon could not have been a more obvious cardboard cutout of a villain if he’d had a literal mustache to twirl.
It had one whole entire female character, and she got to be a love interest AND a damsel in distress AND a one-dimensional character AND have her male partner ignore her wishes and mansplain her brother’s character. A coup for feminism!
