"In one of the most well-known and well-loved fantasy epics of the 20th century, Elric is the brooding, albino emperor of the dying Kingdom of Melnibone. After coming into an unnatural, devastating power that felled his enemy Yrkoon and destroyed an entire city, Elric is haunted by the many deaths he caused and sets out on a quest for redemption and renewed purpose. The White Wolf is the final volume in Michael Moorcock's incredible series, which created fantasy archetypes that have echoed through the genre for generations"--Amazon.com.

I loved the first two books in this saga, but this third one? It's just...awful.
There's three complete novels here, each with only glancing nods to Elric himself. There's basically a bunch of Elric avatars, and Moorcock gleefully dives into this dreamworld (major strike one for me), and then mixes up, over the three stories, a gumbo of Nazis, Indigenous people, Meniboneans, and god knows what else. He appeared to be riffing on Alice in Wonderland a bit in the third novel before I abandoned the entire enterprise.
Look, I get that Elric pops up all over the place, and he has avatars up the yinyang, but this stuff? It seems to be more of a platform for Moorcock to pontificate on various things, or tie himself in knots trying to create some logic out of this bent up multiverse he keeps growing.
I love Elric, he's likely my favourite fantasy character ever. But dammit, it feels sometimes like Moorcock's just intent on hammering him into the ground.
My advice? Pick up the first two in this Elric Saga, then somehow convince yourself this third one doesn't exist.
Trust me, you'll die happier.
