The Sailor on the Seas of Fate by Michael MoorcockMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
MILD SPOILER ALERT.
The Elric Saga continues. This time the albino emperor-in-exile journeys the seas on supernatural ships that take him to other planes of existence. Eventually, he winds up at the island from which his ancestors came from, where he breaks a curse and brings on a worse one.
Elric weilds Stormbringer, an evil artifact sword with a mind of its own. It gives him life-sustaining power, helped by the souls that the sword takes (it doesn't just kill).
The reptilian savages are cool, as is the insect god that defeats them.
This installment is pure fun from beginning to end. It should take you about 6-7 hours to read.
