5.0 out of 5 stars A fine finale. Moorcock at his best., 14 May 2006
By Father Thyme (San Francisco, USA) - See all my reviews
The three books which make up this, Moorcock's final adventure fantasy sequence, are The Dreamthief's Daughter, The Skrayling Tree and this one, which for reasons of his own Moorcock has refused to allow to appear in the UK. The White Wolf's Son doesn't let you down. You can always expect Moorcock to outdo himself in his final volumes (see The Vengeance of Rome) but I really didn't expect anything as subtle and stunning as this, bringing all Moorcock's major themes to resolution. The books starts in Ingleton, Yorkshire, in a big house where Moorcock lived for some years. He used his experience of Yorkshire in his fabulous sequence The War Amongst the Angels, but this is even closer to the reality. A young girl (clearly intended to represent Carroll's Alice) meets many of Moorcock's regular heroes from Oswald Bastable to Elric, in what you might call their 'civilian' guises. She also encounters the two arch-villains Gaynor and Klosterheim. By a series of misadventures she finds herself underground in Moo-Ooria, the setting for much of The Dreamthief's Daugher. The villains and the heroes appear to be seeking a mysterious young boy who just might be Elric's son. Next we learn something of Moorcock himself and his wife, which leads us into a world where Dorian Hawkmoon is still battling the Dark Empire. Gradually, Moorcock brings all these elements together, as we can expect of him, handling a dozen themes as cleverly as always. The resolution to the book brings all the elements of the other two together, plus introducing and resolving themes from his other series, including The War Amongst the Angels. How Moorcock handles such complexities is mind-boggling, yet he does it with consummate skill. Anyone who believe he can't handle complext themes, as I've noticed several American reviewers claiming, really can't know what they're reading. He is amazing. You'll love this final volume. I can't recommend it highly enough.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sadly disappointing., 23 Mar 2008
This review is from: The White Wolf's Son (Mass Market Paperback)
Though I concur with the previous reviewer in terms of the setting of the book, evolution of the 3 book story line etc., overall the book is very disappointing. Admittedly tracts of the story are written from the perspective of Elrics grand grand daughter (aged 11) however the literary style remains almost juvenile and simplistic. If Mr Moorcock had set out to write 'Moorcock does Harry Potter' then possibly I'd understand. I've read nearly everything Moorcock has written over some 20 years and he has forged the fundamental bedrock of modern fantasy writing. Unfortunately by setting such a high standard he is inevitably measured against that body of work and this is sadly disappointing.
