Elric - 4 - Elric le Nécromancien

The blending of mythic motifs creates a rich, layered world. I wonder what sources or ideas influenced Moorcock's approach to these themes.

While I loved the world-building, those parts felt a bit slow compared to the action scenes. Was that pacing choice intentional to build tension?

The grim tone feels amplified by the epic world, making the stakes feel even higher. Do others feel the setting amplifies the story's intensity?
