Each story has a lot of things happening, but Moorcock hurries though it all so fast that no event really has weight. I think my greatest problem with Moorcock is the pacing. I found it much less good than I remember it. I reread several of them this month: "The Dreaming City", "While the Gods Laugh", "The Singing Citadel", "The Stealer of Souls", "Kings in Darkness" and the first 3rd of The Sleeping Sorceress (aka The Vanishing Tower). ![]() I did not like the later ones, but the early ones like Stormbringer and The Sleeping Sorceress and several of the short stories I remember fondly. I remember that I liked the early Elric stories from the 60s and 70s. It was some of my first fantasy fiction, after Tolkien and Dragonlance. I read Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné series back in 2005 or thereabouts. ![]()
