Partially enjoyed this;near the end,last couple of chapters,i found that i frankly didn't give a toss about the "hero".

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 December 2001These are two writers I wouldn't normally think of as being similar and maybe it is their differences which make this such a surprisingly good read.
I like both writers and this is a combination of the two -- it's set in Moorcock's multiverse, has typical Moorcock characters and a good, tight, if slightly conventional plot, and it has Constantine's subtleties of character and motivation. An excellent read for fans of both writers.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2013If you like Moorcock you will like this, a lovely fantasy story, it is quite slow not very exciting but a lovely book to read.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 May 2012I used to love Michael Moorcock, when I was in my teens, so I thought I'd give this a go.
The characters do draw you in somewhat, but the invented world is not believable and the "history" of this world even less so.
It does not seem to have been edited well either. In one short paragraph "greenish" appeared three times. I'd got the idea the first time.
I enjoy escapism, but this is awful.
Maybe I should try the old Mookcock books again.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 April 2002I'd just finished some pretty far out Moorcock (War Amongst The Angels) when I read this so I was shocked by how grounded the novel is, surely Constantine's influence! The story is well structured with a great gothic atmosphere and some great 3 dimensional characters though the plot, while very well thought out, is your average "find all the magical artifacts" quest. The book isn't bogged down with to many references to every other Moorcock book while it does take the Rose from Blood etc. which I found very refreshing. A great combination of writing talent and a very enjoyable book.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 July 2010Having not read a fantasy novel in a couple of years (preferring historical novels) I picked this off the shelf after having it waiting probably 3 years. Supported by good reviews on Amazon I started reading, but only just managed it to the end. Every cliche was in this book - a race againsts time to collect artefacts, a king's duaghter wanting to rebel against her traditionalist father, an evil sorceress, a mechanical owl (clash of the titans), little people with spears, a reluctant hero who refuses to accept things even when they are blatantly obvious etc.etc. However, I am happy to put with stereotypical characters for a fast paced tale, but this was woefully slow until a rushed ending. Too many pages with characters in discussion without developing them. The most exciting thing was how are they going to wrap this up with only 10 pages to go? Oh, and I remember why I went off fantasy, whenever a character is trapped in a perilous situation he can just use his magic and Hey Presto!
