yggie 's review for:

Elric of Melniboné by Michael Moorcock
2.0

This is a classic 'I really wanted to like it' review. I mean, this book is the start of an entire genre of morally ambiguous characters!

It turns out I appreciate that in theory, but the book itself was just... dear lord. In this case 'morally ambiguous' mostly comes down to a moping emo drama king, a very stupid arch nemesis, and a completely passive True Love.

Some of the descriptions were nice, and the world building was a bit shallow, but potentially interesting. That's the best I can do. It pains me to say, but won't read again, won't read the sequels, would not recommend.
