The Dreamthief's Daughter: A Tale of the Albino by Michael Moorcock
4.0
I enjoyed how this book crossed over my two favorite parts of the Eternal Champion saga, Elric and Von Bek. Though it is marketed as an Elric book, Ulric Von Bek is the more prominent character. However, it is clearly connected to the Fortess of the Pearl, and shares the villain of Revenge of the Rose, Gaynor. For readers familiar with Gaynor from other Eternal Champion stories, this book shows how and why he became “the Damned.” The book is also very reminiscent of the Dragon in the Sword, as again a Von Bek joins forces with another Champion to take on the Third Reich and save the Multiverse. The plot can be a bit confusing, and I suppose it could be especially so if you have only read Elric and not Von Bek. Nonetheless, it’s another very enjoyable adventure in the Multiverse with Moorcock’s usual imagination.
