it was amazing
Read 3 times. Last read May 17, 2022 to June 6, 2022.

The saga of Elric of Melnibone has its highs and its lows - mostly highs - but it really does go down on a good note indeed. Nightmarish apocalyptic visions, terrible bloody battle, and dramatic irony and great tragedy. Even a few good character moments, though it's not Moorcock's strong point.

I wish it could have gone differently for poor Elric, though. I wonder if it could have gone differently. If he could have escaped this fate, and found happiness... or if all of this really was meant to be.

It just sets you on a bad footing with them. Just talk things through from the start!"

Unless this really was the very end."
