ppint. ● 7th Aug 2024		Book Michael Moorcock - The Jewel In The Skull	Review - well, what else could one do with dorian hawkmoon's brain ?° ° - see back cover blurb... gloom, doom and the depths of despondency doing duty providing a typically moorcockian dark flavour to this stage in the central character's career towards his eventual but certain early death - or worse(!) - michael moorcock pretty much defined this style or school of sword'n'sorcery, not as a tame copy of robert e. howard's simple strongarm swordsman, but one ever at risk of being cheated or downright double-crossed by his temporary employers, even - perhaps especially (?) - if they gain very nearly all they hire his swords to win. moorcock also introduced the idea of a constant struggle between opposing forces aimed at or personifying the dedication to the imposition of unalterable law, implacable and cruel in the name of justice - and the drive towards the ultimate chaos of purest entropy, equally unlovable and unlivable-with by humanity, a discord driving events as powerful as - or totally replacing - the hitherto traditional fantasy dichotomy of good and evil. - and he **loathed & hated tolkien's "the lord of the rings**" - ignore the idiotic lancer books cover blurb. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
