I re-read this after 35 years—and found it to be action-packed, baroque, philosophical, freakishly inventive, and utterly hilarious.

@oarditi One of my faves by MM, and the only series I've re-read since my teens. I've just started in on the entire Eternal Champion series, reading the Von Bek saga for the first time. Looking forward to getting to this volume in the next year or two!

@nic I’m reading the same omnibus series, very slowly! (About 10 years from Von Bek to the end times). Von Bek is actually some of the very best, for me

@oarditi Yes, they're great. I've got the next two volumes ready to go, but don't want to rush through them.

@oarditi @bookstodon interesting! Why reread after 35 years— very cool! I find that exciting because there seems to be a mysterious quality in repetition. I enjoy rereading books as well.

@katrintheresa @bookstodon I re-read it because I’m on a mission to read all of Moorcock’s ‘Eternal Champion’ books in order—some I’ve never read before, but many I read as a teenager.
