adam_mcphee 's review for:
The Citadel of Forgotten Myths
by Michael Moorcock
DNF. I really want to like Elric/Moorcock, but I just can't do it. I read up until about the end of book one, where he gets ensorcelled by another one of his kind and helps her steal back the dragon eyes from Addric Heed.
Am I a snob? Maybe. I find there are too many longueurs where my brain shuts down after tagging the paragraph as hippyish nonsense, usually when he's talking about Chaos or the metaphysics of the world. It also doesn't help that the action is so often glanced over. A conflict is set up, and then Elric wins it by dint of his superiority, no struggle or striving required.
