Book description
Holy crap! I, Mark Lawrence, have read an entire book in 4 hours! Admittedly I picked it up after discovering that it was only 24,000 words long, or 1/2oth of a George Martin epic.Still, the copy I have is a hardback, 40 years old, and at 169 pages, not an exceptionally slim novel. Admittedly the font is HUGE!I gave this a 3* from memory and now Im revising it down to a 2*. Its OK. There are good things in it, and bad things.The 33 Moorcock books on my fantasy shelf speak to the love I had for his work 30-40 years ago. Ive been having trouble recapturing it on recent reads though. I have been avoiding my favourites ... so that might be it.http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tMqSP3wcsL4...Anyway, good and bad.Most of the good things are an irrepressible imagination and Stormbringer.The bad things ... are many. Its not much longer than a short story and even so is divided in to THREE books. The whole thing has a dreamy misty feel to it (and is literally described in those terms). Its full of people making vague doom-laden statements and refusing to explain anything until the time is right. Everything is pre-ordained / fated, and its basically three short stories with no connection, all of which are really about fights and magic rather than having anything to say.In the first story four aspects of the eternal champion are brought together, Elric, Corum, Hawkmoon, and Erekose. This proves to be bad idea as it leads you to suspect that the eternal champion is a handy excuse for writing the same character over and over, with the suspicion being that Moorcock is just better at weird fantasy stuff than characters...My son saw me picking the book up and said something along the lines of But thats old, why are you bothering? To which I responded with exasperation, Fantasy doesnt have a sell by date! What ... are the swords going to be old fashioned? Will the enchantments be dated? Will the demons be wearing period dress?And he said, If you pick up any old book youll find its rubbish. The writing style has changed. Theyre too slow. The characters dont feel real.Nonsense! I said wittily, and walked off with my 40 year old book.But the thing is. He was right, a bit. Every Moorcock book Ive tried in the past few years has seemed terribly dated. The characters really dont feel real. The conversations are always overly pompous/grand or just turning the handle on the plot.The only thing that struck me as quite modern was the level of visceral violence on display. I dont think todays books that are accused of grimdark have any more blood or guts splattering the page than Moorcock did in the 70s.The other two stories were ... OK but really didnt shine, and over all I was disappointed. On the flip side, its not a Moorcock book that I have fond memories of, so perhaps it was only ever OK and my fanboying was all from the individual Elric, Corum, and Hawkmoon tales.
