Plot summary
'Elric: Song of the Black Sword' is the fifth volume of the collected 'Eternal Champion' series, and is the first to deal with Elric as Prince of Melnibone.
Reception
Andy Butcher reviewed 'Elric: Song of the Black Sword' for 'Arcane' magazine, rating it a 9 out of 10 overall. Butcher comments that "if you have any interest at all in fantasy literature, this volume is as much required reading as Tolkien's 'Lord Of The Rings'. Moorcock's work has been at least as influential, and Elric in particular is one of the best-known characters in the genre. Moorcock's writing style may not be the best, but these are classic stories, and are just as fresh and imaginative today as they ever were".
