orpheuus 's review for:

Elric of Melniboné by Michael Moorcock
4.25
adventurous dark emotional hopeful inspiring sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A masterpiece of the genre. You can clearly see the tendrils of what is to become modern fantasy in this book and I am much better to have read it. Elric is a man of principle, torn between what is expected of him as king, what he truly wants in life and, what destiny his gods and demons have for him. I will watch his journey going forward with much appreciation.
