The Weird of the White Wolf 3 (Weird of the White Wolf)

The third installment of the Elric saga continues the story with Elric leading a navy from the Young Kingdoms to return to his city in an attempt to rescue Cymoril from her brother, the usurper of Elric's throne. Unfortunately, the story turns tragic, as seemed to be his fate.

All-in-all, a very good read. Michael Moorcock's writing style is fantastic and these books stand as the foundation of quite a bit of the genre of fantasy. Well worth the read.

This was the weakest of the novels in first collected volume (by Saga Press). And no wonder, these novellas were written even before The Elric of Melniboné and only later given structure and novelization in the form of The Weird of the White Wolf. Btw, where was that weird exactly?
The Sailor on the Seas of Fate had a lot more foreshadowing than this.

This Elric also behaved differently than the Elric in previous two novels which I liked. And I mean since the beginning. I'd understand the change in tone after the tragedy that befalls him at the end of part one but he's different from the beginning. But hey, at least there was no nonsensical post-modernist crap with the villain like in the first novel.
