Elric—plaything of the God of Chaos, cursed albino prince of a dying line, a hero troublingly addicted to the slaughtered souls fed to him through his sentient sword Stormbringer—is at the center of a saga, spread across many stories, novellas, and books, conceived in deliberate reaction to the more culturally conservative fantasy of Tolkien and C. S. Lewis. Stormbringer—the best novel with which to begin—and Elric’s other adventures tap an unanticipated level of pathos through author Michael Moorcock’s skill at evoking his hero’s Hamlet-like emotions as his duties confront, and constrain, his desires.

Enjoyed whole series. You should be reviewing series as much as books.
