review:
'Elric of Melnibone' by Michael Moorcock was the December selection for my online book club. I had read this book in high school many years ago (along with Tolkien, Howard, etc.) and loved it then, but would it hold up after so many years?
I think it does!
The prose was what I was most worried about and it still shines with an ancient worldliness. This is a brooding Elric (with albino skin and red eyes), but not all he will be. He makes his missteps here but still shows more mercy than he needs to.
